What if the Kalanchoe blooming does not bloom?

What if the Kalanchoe blooming does not bloom? He sits in a pot, enjoys life, but does not even think to show the reason for which he was placed on the windowsill: the bright, long-pleasing eyes of the inflorescence.

Usually, beautifully flowering houseplants have their own development cycle, repeated annually. They need wintering in order to stimulate reproduction, of which the appearance of flowers is a part. Since in the room conditions that winter, that summer - the flower can not be disassembled, you will have to simulate artificially the reduction of the light day, in order to subsequently obtain the desired result in the form of buds.

Reduce the light time for the plant to 9-12 hours, shading it for the rest of the day from the sun with lightproof cloth or transferring to a dark place. In view of the fact that it is necessary to carry out this procedure every day for 2-3 months, it is easiest to automate it, making life as easy as possible.

Since Kalanchoe blossoming does not bloom, it is placed in a dark place (storeroom, dressing room, closet) and install above it a fluorescent lamp connected to the network through a time relay. This device will automatically turn on and off the light in the room at the exact moment it is programmed. You can buy the relay in hardware stores, sometimes they are sold in electrical goods departments. Just do not forget to check the state of the plant and water it as needed. During wintering, watering should be minimized: the plant practically does not feed, so the overflow will lead to the appearance of rot and can destroy the flower.

Help to cope with the problem, when Kalanchoe blossoming does not bloom, will help special preparations and fertilizing. Well suited "Bud", consisting of environmentally friendly elements, the solution of which the plant is sprayed weekly, starting from the middle of winter. When the buds appear and begin to blossom, the treatment can be stopped. The solution is prepared according to the instructions, for 2 liters of water you need to take 2 grams of a dry preparation.

The same effect is possessed by the stimulant of fruit formation "Ovary", it can be replaced by "Buton" - these are means of the same order.

How to make a Kalanchoe bloom if it has bloomed before, and then ceased to form buds? Perhaps, the plant needs to be rejuvenated. For this, the youngest upper part is cut and rooted. To form new roots, the stalk can be placed in a glass with a root solution or simply water. When there are roots - can be planted. Kalanchoe well feels when a brick crumb and bits of birch charcoal are added to its pot. Periodically ingrained plant is fertilized with special feeding for cacti and succulents.

From time to time, any flower must be transplanted: the root system grows and becomes tight, the soil is depleted and becomes acidic. When transplanting the pot should not be taken too much - an overabundance of food is also harmful, choose a capacity a few centimeters wider than the one from which you transplant. For large, sprawling plants, you can add more centimeters than for small ones. The roots of this procedure should be shortened slightly to strengthen their branching, thereby improving the nutrition of the flower. Darkened dead roots are removed with scissors - there is no use for them, and such parts can even become the reason for the decay of the whole root system.

And if your Kalanchoe blossoming does not bloom, you will have to analyze the conditions of its existence and correct them, then to admire the bright colors for a few weeks, which your green friend will please you. Usually the blooming period falls on the winter and the beginning of spring - the buds bloom in February, and blossom by April ..
