1. Feed Them Right
Think of flowers as little engines—they need fuel! Use a balanced fertilizer with higher phosphorus (the middle number, like 10-30-10) to encourage blooming rather than just leafy growth. Slow-release fertilizers or liquid feeds every few weeks can keep flowers producing buds continuously.
2. Trick Them with Light
Many plants bloom based on the length of day and night. Give your plants the right light schedule:
Indoor flowering plants: 12–16 hours of light per day using grow lights can extend blooming.
Outdoor plants: If possible, place them where they get morning sun and afternoon shade to prevent stress, which can stop flowering.
3. Deadhead and Prune Regularly
