Why do the flowers you buy grow smaller and smaller

1. Plant itself

Generally, the flowers we just bought are developed from the first wave of flower buds in the season when the flowers are just blooming. At this time, the plant has the most sufficient nutrients, the flowers are relatively large and the colors are relatively bright. However, when the subsequent flower buds differentiate, the first wave of flowers are in full bloom, and even the residual flowers are not removed in time after the flowers wither, which will further form fruits and seeds. The plant is lack of nutrients, the subsequent flower buds will obtain less nutrients and the flowers will be smaller

2. Improper curing conditions

The flowers bought back are replaced with new maintenance conditions, which are different from the original environment. The flowers need to be renewed, and the general family maintenance conditions can not meet the maintenance conditions in the flower shed, and the growth of flowers is weak. For example, lack of light, insufficient fertilization, lack of timely bud thinning, plant overgrowth, and lack of timely pruning will cause flowers to grow smaller and smaller

How to improve the problem of flowers getting smaller and smaller

1. Remove the remaining flowers in time

After the flower withers, the plant will slowly produce seeds and fruits. This process will consume more nutrients and affect the flowering of the plant. Timely removal of residual flowers can retain plant nutrients for subsequent flower bud development

2. Timely bud thinning

When the plant differentiates too many flower buds, it selectively retains part of the flower buds. Too many flower buds will disperse nutrients, making the flower buds lack nutrition and the flowers become smaller. Remove part of the flower buds and concentrate the limited nutrients on the reserved flower buds, so as to open larger flowers

3. Timely supplement nutrition

Some plants will bloom many times every year, and they need continuous nutrition to bloom well, big and gorgeous. Timely apply an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and provide sufficient light. If the fertilizer is not enough, the flowers will grow smaller and smaller

4. Provide a good growth environment

Too high or low temperature, too strong or too weak light are not conducive to flower bud differentiation. When the temperature is too high, often spray water to the plant or around, and shade appropriately when the light is too strong. General flowering plants should not be too shaded, which is easy to lead to slender branches, overgrowth, or even non flowering

5. Timely replace basin soil

If the potted soil is old and often hardened, replace the pot and soil in time after the flowering period, replace the old soil and add fertile and loose soil to ensure that the root system can better absorb water and nutrients
