How to care for agapanthus in winter and what to do if it doesn't bloom

1. How to care for agapanthus in winter

1. Adequate light: It likes to grow under light, and the winter sun is very mild. It can be placed in a sunny place to get more sun. This will not only increase its own temperature, but also accumulate more nutrients, which is beneficial for wintering.

2. Water and fertilizer management: It likes a moist soil environment, but its growth is very slow in winter, so watering should be reduced. It is best to follow the method of not watering when the soil is dry, so that the soil can be drier. In addition, there is no need to apply fertilizer, just stop applying fertilizer.

3. Control temperature and keep warm: Its cold resistance is not very strong. If the environment is below 5 degrees in winter, the plant is easily frozen. Therefore, the minimum temperature must be controlled at above 5 degrees. It is recommended to build a heat preservation shed to help the plants with many flowers survive the winter.

4. Proper pruning: Pruning is required before winter every year. Properly prune some areas with dense growth and shorten the overly long branches. This can save nutrients and help them survive the winter.

2. What to do if the agapanthus does not bloom

The reason why it does not bloom may be due to lack of light. During normal maintenance, it must be exposed to more sunlight. Sufficient light can promote the germination of branches and leaves. It is necessary to ensure that the light is more than 8 hours a day. It may also be due to lack of nutrients. Top dressing must be applied in time during the peak growing season. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied before flowering, which can promote flowering.
