There are many reasons why Geranium doesn't bloom when it has long leaves. If it is caused by insufficient sunlight, it is necessary to increase the sunlight appropriately to ensure the synthesis of nutrients. If it is caused by excessive watering for a long time, it is necessary to control the water in time to prevent water accumulation in the flowerpot. If it is caused by lack of nutrients or unreasonable fertilization, it is necessary to apply fertilizer reasonably. Before flowering, reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer and increase some p and K fertilizers.

I. increase the illumination

Reason: the growth of Geranium needs enough sunshine. If there is no sunshine, it will make it difficult to produce nutrients, and it will be difficult for Geranium to produce flowers. Only the leaves will grow in vain.

Measures: properly increase the sunlight exposure, put it in the place that can contact the sunlight, and ensure the synthesis of nutrients, so as to maintain the demand for flowering.

2. Control water content.

Reason: in the process of growth, it has a certain demand for water, but if it is watered too much for a long time, it will cause the branches and leaves to grow in vain, but the flowers are difficult to open.

Measures: if too much water is applied, timely water control is required to prevent water accumulation in the flowerpot. In general, regular water supply is required to ensure that the soil is not dry, but not too much water supply, as long as it can be fully poured.

3. Improper fertilization

Reason: if the fertilizer is not applied for a long time, the basin soil will be lack of nutrients, the roots will not be able to absorb nutrients, and the plants will naturally be difficult to bloom normally. Improper proportion of fertilization will also lead to excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer, which will lead to no flowering.

Measures: reasonable application of fertilizer, before flowering, to reduce the application of nitrogen, increase the application of some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, help flowering.
