How to control flowering

Early flowering

Be careful if you smile early in winter. Move the plant indoors in winter and raise the temperature appropriately. When the flower buds expand in winter, maintain the original temperature and continue to maintain. The flowering period can be advanced by 10 ~ 15 days

Second flowering

Michelia can actually bloom twice a year. Remove the tender one month before flowering, and smear the flower buds with 500-1000 times of gibberellin, once every two days at the beginning, and then once every day. This can speed up the development of flower buds, promote the elongation of flower stalks, and make the flowers in the leaf axils stand out of the top of the plant. They can bloom after one month

Precautions

Shading and water control

Michelle likes a semi cloudy environment, which is more conducive to growth in a weak light environment. High temperature exposure is avoided in summer. Therefore, it should be covered in a semi cloudy place with weak light in spring and autumn. You can sprinkle water on the leaf surface and ground every day to keep the environment moist

Michelle likes a humid environment. After putting it into the basin, it needs to be watered. Then, with the rise of temperature and the acceleration of growth, it gradually increases the number and amount of watering. Watering should be dry and wet. Water is generally watered once a day during the spring and autumn season. Water is poured in the summer and early in the evening. Spray to the leaves and the ground in time. Do not water more in the winter. Keep the 1~2 wet. p>

Fertilization and pruning

Sufficient base fertilizer shall be applied before putting into the basin. When turning the basin for soil change, the fertilizer shall be supplemented appropriately. During the growth period, thin cake fertilizer and water shall be applied once every 10 days, and the flower bud formation period is from July to August. Fertilization should focus on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote the green color of leaves. At the same time, it is also necessary to properly supplement alum fertilizer and water, and stop fertilization in winter dormancy period

In order to meet the growth needs, the pot needs to be changed before new leaves grow before and after flowering every spring. After turning the pot and changing soil and the end of flowering period, prune the bare branches and diseased branches to enhance the light transmittance of the plant
