How to grow nasturtiums to make them bloom more and bloom more

1. How to grow nasturtium to make it bloom more

1. Get more sun: Nasturtium likes light and cannot tolerate shade. When there is insufficient light, it will affect the flowering of the plant and the amount of flowers. So if you want the nasturtium to bloom more, you need to get more sun. Only in summer when the plant blooms can you provide appropriate shade.

2. Apply thin fertilizers frequently: If you want nasturtiums to bloom more, generally mix cake fertilizer and chicken manure into the soil at the bottom of the pot as base fertilizer when planting. During the growth period of the plant, apply fertilizer with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once every three to four weeks. Switch to phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering to promote more flowering.

3. Pruning and trellising: If you want the nasturtium to bloom more, you need to top the plant when it is still a seedling to promote branching. When the plant grows to 15-20 cm in height, set up a trellise in the pot, wrap the vines around the trellise, and let the leaves of the plant face in one direction.

2. How to grow nasturtiums to overflow the pot

In fact, if you want nasturtium to bloom more, the prerequisite is to grow the plant out of the pot. If you want to grow nasturtium out of the pot, in addition to meeting the above conditions, you must also give the plant sufficient water during the growth period, but do not let water accumulate in the soil. Generally, water the soil thoroughly when the surface of the potting soil turns white and dry, and spray water on the leaves and surrounding areas of the plant frequently to increase humidity. It should be noted that during the flowering period of nasturtium, do not spray water on the plant to avoid falling flowers.
