Why doesn't butterfly plum bloom?

1. Flower bud differentiation

There are many reasons why butterfly plum does not bloom. It may be that there is a problem in the flower bud differentiation in winter and spring, resulting in the failure of flower bud differentiation, so it will not bloom after entering the flowering period. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to ensure that butterfly plum has good growth conditions after entering the flower bud differentiation period. Only in this way can the flower bud differentiation be promoted smoothly and it can bloom beautiful flowers.

2. Impact of water and fertilizer

The unreasonable supply of water and fertilizer is also the main reason why the butterfly plum does not bloom. During the period when the butterfly plum is not growing normally, if there is excessive water and fertilizer, the branches and leaves of the butterfly plum will grow too long. The nutrients absorbed by it will be mostly absorbed and utilized by the roots, stems and leaves, which is very unfavorable for the formation of flower buds. It will cause the butterfly plum to not bloom or to bloom in small numbers, and even if it blooms, the flowers and buds will fall off.

3. Temperature influence

Unreasonable temperature is also the main reason why the butterfly plum does not bloom. Today, the leaf buds of this plant are very sensitive to the external environmental temperature when transforming into flower buds. This requires the ambient temperature to be maintained between 10 and 15 degrees. If the temperature is too high or too low, it is not conducive to the formation of flower buds, which will directly lead to the butterfly plum not blooming.

How can butterfly plum blossom bloom?

After understanding the main reasons why the butterfly plum does not bloom, you can adjust the management of the butterfly plum according to the specific conditions and methods of cultivating the butterfly plum. After it enters the flower bud differentiation period, pay attention to the regulation of the growth environment. At the same time, pay attention to the supply of water and fertilizer as well as temperature regulation. As long as these are done, the butterfly plum can grow healthily and can bloom a large number of beautiful flowers as soon as possible.
