How to make the Brazilian tree bloom and how to care for it during the flowering period

1. How to make the Brazilian tree bloom

1. Suitable soil: If you want the rubber tree to bloom, you need to use a fertile, breathable and loose substrate. You can mix three parts of garden soil, two parts of river sand and three parts of peat soil, and finally add an appropriate amount of decomposed organic fertilizer. This way the roots can breathe better and absorb sufficient nutrients and water, thereby promoting growth and flowering.

2. Adequate light: It has a certain degree of shade tolerance, but if you want it to bloom, you should give it sufficient light. It should be placed in a place with direct sunlight and can be exposed to the sun all day except for the strong sunlight in summer. If placed in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will easily turn yellow, grow weakly, and will not bloom.

3. Reasonable fertilization: Its peak growing season is between May and October each year. During this period, you should fertilize frequently, generally once every 20 days. Use decomposed organic fertilizer, which is enough to promote growth and is also beneficial for flowering.

2. How to care during flowering period

It is very rare for the rubber tree to bloom, and the flowering period is relatively short. Under normal circumstances, it can only last about a month, usually not more than a month. It should be exposed to more sunlight during the flowering period and should not be placed in the dark for a long time. It is also necessary to control water and stop fertilizing, and resume management after the flowers have withered to avoid stimulating the root system and causing the flowering period to end prematurely.
