Usually, Daphne will bloom once a year during the Spring Festival, probably from March to May. Its flowering period is not very long, only about 2 months. In addition, if the plants do not bloom, it is necessary to apply less nitrogen, increase the application of P and K fertilizer appropriately, and let the plants see more sunlight, ensure ventilation, and reduce the amount of watering properly.

Generally speaking, Daphne odora will bloom once a time, probably from March to may in spring. Flowering doesn't last long, only 2 months. However, as long as we pay attention to it, its flowering period will last longer. Under normal circumstances, it will bloom every year, but the specific flowering period may be advanced or delayed.

2. How to maintain without flowering?

1. Supplementary lighting: it's better to keep it in a well lit place when breeding. It can be placed on Nanyang platform or outdoors. Only by letting it receive more sunlight can it blossom

2. Reasonable fertilization: the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied must be less when maintaining. If the amount of nitrogen fertilizer is too much, the branches will grow in vain and it is difficult to blossom. It is recommended to apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and ensure the ventilation of the breeding environment when the weather is clear.

3. Reduce water supply: when flower bud differentiation, it is necessary to reduce water supply properly. Too much water will make it difficult to form flower bud. Also, don't pour water on the buds.
