Flowering period regulation of Cineraria

When does Cineraria bloom?

The flowering period of Cineraria is actually not that fixed. It needs to be determined according to its sowing date. Generally, it takes 4-5 months for Cineraria to go from sowing to flowering. The flowering period can be regulated based on this so that it can bloom when the breeder needs it.

How to check the flowering period of Cineraria?

First of all we can start with the right variety. Different varieties of cineraria take different amounts of time to bloom. Generally, early-flowering varieties can bloom 5-6 months after sowing, medium-flowering varieties can bloom 7-8 months after sowing, and late-flowering varieties will bloom about 10 months after sowing.

The second thing is to choose the right time for sowing. For example, if you want the cineraria to bloom during the Spring Festival, you can sow it in August of the previous year. If you want the cineraria to bloom on May Day, you can sow it in October of the previous year. However, if there are no special requirements for the flowering period, it is best to sow in spring in April or May.

Finally, it is necessary to do a good job of management in all aspects during the cultivation period of Cineraria so that it can bloom normally and well.

Things to note when managing Cineraria during its flowering period

In order to make the cineraria bloom at the right time, maintenance and management during the flowering period is very important. To sum up, it requires appropriate light, temperature, water and fertilizer. Only when these are in place can the cineraria bloom well.

For example, if you want to make Cineraria bloom in spring, you can control it from the following points: the temperature should be maintained between 10℃ and 15℃, and not lower than 5℃ at night; the lighting time should be sufficient, not less than 3 hours; ensure sufficient supply of water and fertilizer before flowering. Insufficient water and fertilizer will cause the Cineraria flowers to be small and the color will not be bright, so you need to increase watering appropriately before flowering; in order to prevent the crown of Cineraria from tilting, you can turn it around so that its flowers grow upright; in addition, you also need to prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests.
