In the potted version, it has cream, pink or red flowers in the shape of long bells. It most often decorates our homes in winter, when it is covered with flowers. When it fades, its leaves become limp and wrinkled. This is a sign that the plant needs to rest.
Do this with the December tree after it has flowered and it will bloom again the following season. Rules for care when a flower loses buds
Once the flowering period is over, you can prune the plant gently, removing spent flowers and damaged leaves. This will help the Decemberist focus his energy on recovery. Drying grouse flowers should be removed on an ongoing basis; when the plant completely fades away or loses its buds due to poor care, it should be given a rest. This is crucial for its health and future flowering. During the dormant period, which usually occurs in late winter and early spring, reduce the frequency of watering. Water the plant only when the soil is completely dry. During the rest period, the december needs a cooler place. It is best to move it to a room where the temperature is around 6-10 degrees Celsius. At this time, we stop fertilizing. After 3-4 weeks, you can move the plant to its target location and start gradually watering and fertilizing it. It is important not to move the plant when flower buds appear.
Why isn’t the December flowering plant blooming?
If you are wondering why the grove is not blooming, check its soil. Watering is extremely important. The soil must not be allowed to dry out completely. Otherwise, the leaves will begin to wrinkle and wilt. And restoring balance takes a very long time. The result may be a lack of flowering because the plant invests all its energy in the leaves. Therefore, if you want the December tree to bloom again, water it once a week. However, remember not to overwater the plant. The soil must be moist, but not wet. After watering, also pour out the water from the stand. Grudnik also likes sprinkling. You can do this every 2-3 days using the remaining lukewarm water or rainwater. Outside of dormancy periods, it is also worth fertilizing the plant with cactus or potted plant food. We repeat the treatment every 3 weeks. If you want to get the plant to bloom, take a closer look at the pot. Very often we think that flowers should have a lot of space, but in the case of December flowers it is completely different. The plant does not have a very extensive root system, so it does not need a large pot. A small and flat container will be much better, as it will be easier to control the soil moisture. It is also important not to replant the flower during April. Then you need to provide the plant with peace and stable conditions. Otherwise it may lose buds. Grudnik reacts badly to changes. If it has bloomed profusely so far, but it stops the following year, the reason may be a sudden change in temperature, light intensity or drafts. Then the plant not only does not bloom, but also loses buds and leaves fall off.
