1. If the plants have enough light
If your plants are not blooming, it is probably due to a lack of sunlight. Especially since some flowering plants need more than 6 hours of sun. In this case, be sure to ensure sufficient light exposure for your plants.
2. If the plants are in the right place
Depending on the time of day, some plants prefer direct exposure to full sun or partial shade. If we take the example of hydrangeas, azaleas and impatiens, these plants should not be placed in the sun during the afternoon. On the other hand, succulents, bougainvilleas and roses appreciate it.
3. If plants have enough nutrients
To flourish, plants need fertilizers rich in nutrients, such as phosphorus, which also stimulates plant flowering and rooting, in addition to promoting photosynthesis. That said, for abundant flowering, use a compound fertilizer containing potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus.
4. If the plants are not overfertilized
Fertilizing a plant is certainly important insofar as the fertilizer provides the plants with the nutrients they need. However, fertilizers should be used sparingly. Too much can be fatal for them. This is because when soil is overfertilized, plants find it difficult to absorb water, and this is what causes them to wilt.
5. Whether to prune plants
Trimming a plant is important. This keeps it healthy, in addition to stimulating its flowering. On the other hand, it is important to know when to prune your plant, so as not to eliminate the buds that are about to give flowers.
6. If the young shoots of the plants are not pruned
Se debe tener cuidado al podar para no eliminar los tallos jóvenes que darán nuevas flores. Hay que distinguir entre el nuevo crecimiento y el viejo crecimiento. Solo se pueden cortar los tallos que ya han dado flores.
