When will the colorful taro bloom

The natural flowering period of color leaf taro is from March to April, but the flowering time will be advanced or delayed due to different maintenance environment

How to make colorful taro bud in spring

Pay attention to heat preservation

Multicolored taro is a root plant on the planet Tiannan. There are tubers under the soil. Leaves will fall after autumn and will not grow until the next spring. Multicolored taro is a high-temperature plant, which likes heat and is afraid of cold. Therefore, do not water the fallen leaves after autumn. Let the bulbous spend the winter in the sand and control the temperature at 18 ℃

Early spring. When colorful taro begins to grow leaves and buds, it cannot be short of water, but it needs to be watered and fertilized after the weather warms up. Watering should be done in the morning or afternoon to spray water on the leaves, so that it is easier to blossom

Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer

If too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, not only the green on the leaves will increase, but also the red and silvery white stripes will decrease. Most importantly, it is difficult to grow flower buds. When sprouting in early spring, after applying an average fertilizer, apply a thin phosphorus and potassium fertilizer every two weeks, and water it after dilution with water

Before dormancy in early autumn, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should also be applied once. At that time, the flower bud just withered, but the rhizome under the soil has consumed a lot of nutrients. Timely supplement of nutrients can ensure the flower bud next year

The light should be appropriate

Colorful taro is afraid of strong light in spring and summer. It is easy to grow black spots without flowering, so the placement position is very important. Place the plant in a well ventilated place with enough scattered light

If the environment is too overcast, the branches and leaves are long and soft, and even can't grow buds. Color leaf taro is sensitive to light and has strong phototropism. Appropriate light can produce "florigen", which is more conducive to the formation of flower bud
