I see, you’re doing it right! The traditional “old wives’ advice” with vinegar and soda is basically the road to hell for plants (and especially for succulents like the jade tree). Vinegar is an acid that could damage the roots, and soda is a salt that would completely throw off the pH of the soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pansy needs stress, but natural stress, not chemical stress. If you want to see it bloom, you need to focus on imitating its South African home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is a list of things that really work instead of “kitchen experiments”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Potassium and phosphorus instead of soda
If you want to support the plant in the formation of buds, forget about universal fertilizers. Look for those that are low in nitrogen (N) and high in phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).
Why: Nitrogen promotes leaf growth, while phosphorus and potassium are the \u201cfuel\u201d for flowers and tissue strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cDark Chamber\u201d Method
If you have a plant in a room where you light it in the evening, the thickets will never understand that it is winter (its flowering time).
Try putting it in a room where there is no light at all from autumn to night. It needs 12\u201314 hours of uninterrupted darkness. Even briefly turning on the chandelier in the middle of the night can cancel the process of \u201cswitching\u201d to flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Air humidity vs. dryness
While the roots must be dry in winter, a slight drop in temperature accompanied by fresh air (not drafts!) works wonders. If the air in the apartment is too dry from the heating, the plant will rather just survive. A bright but cold staircase or a glazed veranda is ideal.
The right substrate
Pancreatices will not bloom if they have \u201cwet feet\u201d. If it is in a regular garden substrate that holds water, the roots will suffer.
Tip: Add perlite, sand or crushed pumice to the soil. The faster the water drains, the better the plant feels and the sooner it will respond to drought by setting flowers in winter.
How do you know it is coming?
The buds usually appear at the ends of the branches as small, firm balls. As soon as you see them, stop moving the plant. Pansies are sensitive to changes in light orientation and could drop their buds before they open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
