Gardening Tips: Your garden will be filled with flowers. To get more flowers in the pot, just follow these 5 secret methods.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Flowers blooming in the balcony or courtyard of the house not only enhance beauty but also give peace to the mind. But often people complain that they have planted a plant but it is producing very few flowers or the buds are falling before they bloom. The needs of plants grown in pots are different from those of plants grown in the ground. If you also want to see your pots buzzing with flowers, then these 5 gardening hacks will be very useful for you. 5 Surefire Ways to Get More Flowers in the Pot (Tips for More Flowers) Right Balance of Sunlight: Most of the flowering plants (like rose, hibiscus, mogra) need at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight a day. If you keep the plant in shade, its leaves will grow but flowers will not appear. Therefore, always keep the pot in a sunny place. Pinching and Pruning: ‘Pinching’ is most important to make the plant dense. When the plant is small, lightly cut its upper branches. This will produce new branches and the more branches there are, the more flowers there will be. Also, remove dried flowers immediately (deadheading) so that the plant can focus energy on forming new buds. Potassium-rich fertilizer (Best Fertilizer): Potassium is the most important nutrient for flowers. You can dry banana peels at home and make powder from them and mix it in the soil once a month. Apart from this, the use of vermicompost or ‘Bone Meal’ also helps in increasing the number of buds. Watering rule: Always keep the pot soil moist, but do not make it muddy. Due to excessive watering, the roots start rotting and the buds fall. Water only when the top surface of the soil feels dry. In summer, it is best to water in the morning and evening. Aeration: Do light aeration of the soil in the pot with a small spade once every 15 days. This allows oxygen to reach the roots and the plant is able to absorb nutrients in a better way. Protect plants from diseases: Flowering plants are often attacked by ‘miley bugs’ or white insects. To protect yourself from these, spray Neem oil every 15 days. It is completely organic and keeps your plants safe.
