What to do if cockscomb does not bloom

Why does cockscomb not bloom?

Cockscomb looks like a red cockscomb when it blooms, and its flowering period is mainly from May to October.

When growing cockscombs, they prefer a slightly drier environment. Generally, they need proper watering during the growth period to ensure sufficient nutrients, but the soil in the pot should not be too moist, otherwise it will cause the plant to grow too tall and not bloom or bloom late.

There is also the influence of fertilizer. Cockscomb likes fertile soil, so sufficient nutrients can ensure that there is enough nutrition for flowering. But please note that Cockscomb cannot be over-fertilized. Large amounts of fertilizer, especially nitrogen fertilizer, will cause Cockscomb to only grow stems and leaves and affect flowering.

In addition, there is the factor of light. Cockscomb likes a growing environment with plenty of sunlight. Only when it is exposed to sufficient sunlight can it bloom well. Insufficient light will affect the quality of flowering.

How to grow cockscomb to make it bloom big and colorful

Water appropriately. Generally, do not water cockscomb too much during its growth period. Watering still needs to be controlled after it blooms. However, you can water it appropriately when the weather is relatively dry, and drain it in time in rainy weather. During the growth stage of cockscomb seeds, water less to facilitate seed growth and keep the flowers beautiful.

You should also pay attention to the degree of fertilization. During the growth period, it is best not to apply a certain type of fertilizer, but to use compound fertilizer as the main fertilizer. During the flowering period of growth, cockscomb will slowly bloom. At this time, you can apply more phosphorus fertilizer and ensure sufficient light to make it bloom well.

Another thing is to change the pot at the right time. It is best to plant cockscomb in pots during the flowering period. When planting, plant it deeply and the roots cannot be scattered, otherwise it will be difficult to survive.
