Lagerstroemia trees bloom only after they are several years old

Generally, in 3-4 years, the flowers of crape myrtle grow on the top of the spring shoots that germinate in that year. Shooting fertilizer and nitrogen should be applied in early March. Combination of phosphorus and potassium: Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once from late May to early June to strengthen branches and promote flowers; apply flowering fertilizer once in late July and early September. The fertilizer is cake fertilizer, water, etc., so that the flowers bloom beautifully.

Ordinary fast-growing crape myrtle does not necessarily bloom at a certain time, maybe three to five years later

The crape myrtle tree blooms every summer and autumn. Each inflorescence can be open for about 50 days, and the flowering period of the whole plant is as long as 4 months. It is an excellent garden ornamental flower and tree, and is also one of the best tree stump bonsai species. Distributed from Southeast Asia to Oceania, there are about 50 species in the genus, 16 species in China, and they were cultivated as early as 1,000 years ago.

When does Lagerstroemia bloom

There are 4 species of Lagerstroemia:

(1) Lagerstroemia: purple-red flowers.

(2) Cuiwei: blue-purple flowers, dark green leaves.

(3) Chiwei: Fire red.

(4) Silverweed: The flowers are white or slightly cocoon-colored, and the leaves are light green.

Cuiwei with blue petals is the best. It is a panicle with new branches at the top, up to 20 cm long. Each flower has 6 petals and the petals are multi-folded, like a disk. The flowers bloom all over the trees and are as gorgeous as clouds, so they are also called Man Tang Hong. The result is a capsule, shaped like a soybean, containing many seeds, which matures in November.

In the Yangtze River Basin, branches begin to sprout in April, and the germination is strong. Flower buds form after the branches stop growing, around early June; at this time, the temperature reaches above 30°C and there is little rain, which is conducive to the differentiation of flower buds. The inflorescences are usually drawn around June 20, and they will be drawn out in just a few days, and the flower buds at the base will begin to bloom. If the temperature is lower than 30°C and there is a lot of rain in June, the tops will continue to extend and inflorescences will be drawn out, or there will be flowers on a few branches. If left to grow, the branches will be dense and slender, prone to aging and senescence, and the inflorescences will be sparse or not blooming, or they will bloom every other year. The flowering period of a single flower is 5-8 days, each inflorescence can bloom for about 50 days, and the flowering period of the whole plant is more than 120 days. Generally, young trees bloom 7-10 days earlier than old trees. If the summer is rainy and low temperature (temperature is below 30°C), the flowering period of old trees will be delayed and only a few flowers will bloom, while young trees will not bloom; but newly transplanted crape myrtle , the roots are injured and have poor ability to absorb fertilizer and water, but they bloom on time. It cannot tolerate long-term shade, otherwise it will rarely bloom and grow poorly. The flower branches are preferably 30-50 cm long and strong, with long inflorescences and many flowers; slender branches and leggy branches have short inflorescences and few flowers.

How to make crape myrtle bloom multiple times a year

Jiangxi Sannong Flowers and Trees Suggestions: 1. Potted crape myrtle requires dwarfing the plant type, and plastic pruning promotes more and more blooms. key. After the seedlings are planted in pots, mop them 15 to 20 cm above the ground and lower them to dry. Pick the seeds when the seedlings are about 15 cm high. After the axillary buds on the main trunk sprout new branches, select 3 strong branches in different directions and keep them as main branches, and trim off the rest or cut them off entirely. Top the main branches when they grow to 8 to 10 centimeters to inhibit extended growth, promote meridian side branches, and cultivate compact, low branches with a natural open-shaped crown.

2. Crape myrtle has strong budding ability and is extremely resistant to pruning. It is generally divided into bud topping during the growth period and pruning during the dormant period in winter. The main purpose of pruning is to adjust the tree structure, promote more branches, more blooms, multiple blooms, renew old trees, extend the flowering period, achieve a short main trunk, low and even compact branches, neat growth, a happy crown, ventilation and light transmission. Crape myrtle has strong germination ability, and flower buds are formed on the branches of the current year. Flower buds form quickly, so pruning in turns can promote multiple shoots and multiple blooms. After the flowers fade in autumn and winter, perform a strong pruning to thin out dense branches, overlapping branches, leggy branches, dead branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches. Re-prun the main side branches and extension branches, and compress the old branches to make more branches sprout and bloom early in spring.

3. When the new shoots grow 10 to 15 cm in spring, keep 8 to 10 cm long topping to concentrate nutrients, promote branching, and increase the number of flower branches. From the end of May to early to mid-June, after the first flowers fade, cut off the upper parts of the flower branches to leave strong buds so that the lower axillary buds can germinate and regenerate new shoot buds. Blooms for the second time from mid-to-late July to early August. After the flowers fade, cut off the remaining flowers in time to accumulate nutrients and promote the differentiation of new branches and flower buds. It can bloom for the third time from late August to early September. In this way, repeated rounds of pruning are applied, and fertilizers are applied accordingly. Apply thin pancake fertilizer once or twice a month during the growth period, and increase the amount of fertilizer after the flowers fade. Apply liquid fertilizer every 7 to 10 days during the blooming period from July to September, and spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the leaves every 10 to 15 days. Cut off the remaining flowers at any time after each flower fades to prevent fruiting and reduce nutrient consumption.
