The herb is known mainly for its lush green and lush leaves. However, its additional decoration can also be the flowers that appear on the plant when we take proper care of it and do not make any care mistakes. We will tell you why the herb does not bloom and how to grow it so that it will be beautiful.
The herb needs appropriate conditions to bloom. One of them is proper exposure. Placement too deep a shade contributes to the inhibition of the development of flower shoots. However, too strong lighting is not conducive to the herbaceous plant.
So that it can bloom regularly, it is best to grow it in a position with a lot of diffused light. In addition, it is worth turning the pot from time to time to ensure even illumination of the herb from all sides.
It is also important to provide the plant with the appropriate temperature. When it drops below 15 degrees Celsius, the herb goes dormant and its development stops. Therefore, it will be best to place the plant in a room where the temperature is between 18-23 degrees Celsius, because this value favors the formation of herbaceous flowers.
Let’s also remember that too strong fertilization may have the opposite effect and inhibit the flowering of the herbaceous plant. We should use low doses of mineral fertilizers or use natural fertilizers. At the same time, completely omitting fertilization also contributes to the lack of flowering. Therefore, this treatment should be performed from spring to autumn, every 14 days.

A common mistake when caring for a herbaceous plant is watering it incorrectly. This plant does not like too much water. It should be watered often, but using small amounts of water.
However, it is worth knowing what to do if the roots get flooded. Then you should stop watering until the substrate is completely dry. We should also remove the plant from the pot and inspect its roots, paying attention to whether they have any rot. All diseased roots should be removed and then the plant should be transplanted into fresh soil. In addition, you should take care of the drainage layer and the holes in the pot.
Therefore, it is better to water the herb less often rather than more often, especially since long interruptions in water supply do not harm it, as it has fleshy roots that store water. In addition, slight drying can stimulate the plant to produce inflorescence shoots. However, we must be careful not to over-dry the plant, as a drying plant will redirect its energy to regeneration and will not produce flowers.
