Why won't your plant bloom? Light is the main reason

Flowers & Gardening By Emily Carter 0 views

Cineraria

Why it won't bloom:

Not enough hours of light.

Cineraria is a long-day plant and needs more than 12 hours of light a day to bloom.

Similar plants:

Gladiolus

Corn poppy

Garden balsam

If the hours are not enough, you can use the light-period extension method: start supplementing light before sunset or before sunrise, extending the light period by 5-6h.

Chrysanthemum

Why it won't bloom:

Too many hours of light.

Chrysanthemum is a short-day plant, and too long a light period affects blooming.

Similar plants:

Scarlet sage

Poinsettia

Hydrangea

Christmas cactus

During the growth period, as long as they get no more than 12 hours of daylight a day, their development speeds up and they bloom earlier.

Rose

Why it won't bloom:

This kind of plant is not sensitive to the length of daylight each day; whether the days are long or short, it will normally form buds and bloom, so if it does not bloom, you may have put the plant in a dark corner.

Similar plants:

Geranium

Dianthus

Wax begonia

Give them some sunlight, and only then can they bloom gloriously!

Spider plant

Why it won't bloom:

Lack of light.

This kind of plant develops healthily in a strong-light environment, and grows poorly under shade and weak-light conditions.

Similar plants:

Snake plant

Ivy

Let them bask in the sun often and keep up the light!

Bromeliad

Why it won't bloom:

Too much light.

This kind of plant has low light requirements; if it gets direct sunlight, or too long a light period, it cannot bloom normally.

Similar plants:

Bromeliad

Alocasia

Money tree

Avoid strong light; it can survive tenaciously even in places with poor light!

Understand your plants' habits, know what they like and dislike, and "treat the symptoms with the right remedy" - only then can you grow your plants well! Don't you all agree!
