It usually blooms from May to August. The flowers are white and fragrant. Its flowering period is relatively long, as long as all factors ensure good foundation, it can open for a month. But there will also be early or late cases. Different regions will have different climate and regional differences. Note that when flowering, do not pour water on the flower, it will easily cause rot. It is also impossible to apply fertilizer, which will cause the flower buds to fall. When flowering, move it to a cool place, which can prolong the flowering period by 2 - 3 days.

Why can't flowers bloom?

1. Too much water and fertilizer: during the growth period, too much water and nutrient supply will lead to this phenomenon. So in the application, we must pay attention to good quantity, not arbitrary application.

2. The light is too weak: although it doesn't like strong light, if the light is too weak, it will affect its flowering. Astigmatism should be supplemented properly.

3. Loam is slightly alkaline: long term watering will make loam become slightly alkaline, which will affect the growth of plants. It can be improved by adding some acid.
