How to Make Strelitzia Bloom for Christmas

Light Control

First, let me introduce the principle of this method. For some plants, the light cycle is the main reason that affects and restricts their flowering. If you know a little about the habits of this plant, you will know that this flower loves light very much, and sunlight is of great significance to its flowering. Therefore, regulating the flowering period of plants through light is a very good method. We all know that sunlight is weaker in winter, and because the sun shines on the southern hemisphere, the days are shorter, so the time available for sunlight is also shorter. Therefore, if we want to use this method to promote its flowering around the cold Christmas, we need to artificially increase the lighting time. Generally speaking, plants can be exposed to artificial light after sunset for about three to four hours.

Temperature Control

This is also a very common and widely used method because temperature is easier to control than light. There is no doubt that we need to move plants indoors for maintenance, even in more southern regions. In addition, we need to control the temperature within the range where plants grow fastest, which is between 13 and 18 degrees. This way, the flower buds will develop better and stretch longer. Control the temperature before Christmas, and after a period of time, you can see beautiful flowers when Christmas comes. Of course, this method can also be used in combination with the first method.
