If the Decembrist blooms poorly, it's time to remember when you last unscrewed the segments for him. The reason may lie in them

Do you want your Decembrist to finally bloom? Then a fiery fireworks, comrade indoor florist! Today on the agenda is one of the frequent reasons why a healthy-looking Decembrist does not want to bloom. And, of course, how to fix it without effort and dancing with tambourines.

The reasons why the Decembrist does not bloom or gives few flowers

But, in fairness, I will write: the reasons for weak flowering are manifold. You cannot poke your finger and say: "Remove the segments - and it will bloom!", Because this will become cunning. First, go through the list and think - maybe the reason for the meager number of buds lies on the surface:

• Rotten roots. Sick Decembrists look lethargic and bloom reluctantly. The mistake of a citizen is that he waters a forest cactus that lives in trees, like other indoor plants.
• Big pot. If a branch sticks out in the middle of a large circle of earth, it is likely that the Decembrist has rotten roots (see. previous point).

• "Dark" content. The Decembrist needs diffused light, and not expulsion into the depths of the room. Which careless flower growers like to arrange.
• A long day. In order for the flower to bud, let it stand in the dark for at least 12 hours a day. Think, comrade: maybe the light from the chandelier lengthens the daylight? Then you don't have to wait for the buds.
• Too hot. The Decembrist loves to plant buds in the cool. Transfer to a warmed loggia or ventilate the room at night. Nothing makes plants grow buds like the difference between night and day temperatures.

But let's imagine a healthy Decembrist standing in a suitable place. It happens that he doesn't want to bloom in any way! And there may be another reason for inappropriate behavior.

Why Schlumberger needs to remove some of the segments

It is said that Schlumberger does not bloom twice at the tip of the same segment. This is a bit distorted information. Schlumberger does not bloom on last year's segment. Never. Everyone who is attentive to their Schlumberger has noticed this!

From this fact, even a child can conclude: if a plant has few young segments, it will never bloom normally. No matter how good basic care it is!

Therefore, in the spring, as soon as our stingy sun begins to warm up and awakens the Schlumbergers, desperately start working on stimulating the growth of new segments. On them, next year you will see those very buds.

• Unscrew 1 segment from each branch. Grab it, turn it clockwise - and, here it is, success. The segment is in your hand. Scary at first, but then you get involved.
• Put in a bright place and feed with nitrogen fertilizers so that the greens are flooded.

We have 2 benefits at once:

• By unscrewing the ends, you stimulate the growth of new segments. This is how any plant works. And the Decembrist, although it looks strange, is no exception. And a new segment is a potential new bud.
• By unscrewing the ends, you increase the chance of bushiness. New segments can grow both at the tips of the shoots and from the center. Having unscrewed the extreme segment, the probability of the last scenario is slightly, but increases.

Do not be afraid: be patient and dare. After all, when the Decembrist blooms, he paints our winter well.

Do you like Decembrists and was the article helpful? Press, comrade, "Thumbs up"!
Sincerely yours, Fyodor Tyapkin-Sklyankin, who briskly unscrews the ends every spring.
