Badan does not bloom on the site for a number of serious reasons that need to be analyzed separately. Most often, the problem lies in the care of the plant. This perennial is considered an unpretentious culture, but certain skills and experience with it are necessary.
Why does not bloom badan
Badan looks very harmonious against the background of stones
Badan is a perennial herbaceous plant. It belongs to the class of dicotyledonous crops, so it has the following features:
- the root system is pivotal;
- two cotyledons in a seed;
- leaf blades on petioles;
- perianth double;
- leaf venation is reticulate;
- flowers have five petals.
Badan under natural conditions is distributed in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. The plant can be found in Central Asia, Altai, Siberia, Primorsky Krai and Kazakhstan. In the east, the range of badan extends to China and Mongolia. The culture prefers to multiply and grow on rocks, mountain slopes, embankments, forest edges.
Today the plant has several varieties and hybrids. Some of them are popular with gardeners. It is indispensable in landscape design. Its pink flowers look especially beautiful on a rocky background next to phlox and hosta.
Badan is a rather unpretentious plant, however, novice gardeners sometimes face some problems. One of them is the lack of flowering. There are many reasons for this, but they are easy to deal with.
Poor growing conditions
To poor growing conditions, experienced gardeners include:
- frequent transfer from one place to another;
- lack of lighting;
- little room for development and growth;
- wrong area.
Such “misses” in containment conditions need to be considered in more detail.
Comment! Badan is widely used in folk medicine, but not all varieties, but only thick-leaved. It is called medicinal. Medicinal is the rhizome, which contains tannins.
The plant has anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and antibacterial properties.
Badan sometimes does not bloom, because it does not have time to take root and adapt, as the bush is transplanted from place to place. He endures the transplantation procedure extremely hard, and it does not matter whether we are talking about an adult, formed plant, or about a part of the rhizome during reproduction. Often, the culture not only does not bloom for a long time, but also gets sick for some period after transplantation. The solution to the problem is as follows: plan the landing site in advance, having thought through all the details, and also allow the bergenia to take root in a new place.
Badan grows well and develops in low light, but it will hardly begin to bloom. The plant loves the sun’s rays, but scattered, not direct. He is especially uncomfortable under a sprawling tree with a large crown.
Badan is actively used in landscape design, in open areas
Flowering may be delayed or not at all due to densely planted plants. Often this is observed when planting perennials in rows. Over time, they grow and interfere with each other’s development. In this case, there can be no talk of flowering.
Thus, the planting site of bergenia plays a huge role in beautiful flowering. It should be taken care of long before the landing and weigh the pros and cons.
Improper care
In order to achieve flowering from bergenia, and indeed from any other plant, development, flowering, you will need to know the basics of competent care, despite the unpretentiousness of the culture. Proper care includes the following necessary procedures:
- watering;
- mulching;
- top dressing;
- removal of old leaves;
- preparation for the winter season.
Badan care is easy. After the snow melts, the plant must be inspected and damaged, dry and rotten leaf plates removed. After pruning, the culture can be fed. The first feeding is carried out at the very beginning of spring, and the second after the end of flowering.
Humidification should be carried out as needed. For example, before the flowering period, at the time of bud formation, watering should be plentiful if the weather is dry. Then it should be watered at the beginning of flowering and after 15-20 days. However, if the weather is wet, it rains periodically, then abundant watering of the plant is not required.
The lower leaves protect the root system from drying out. As they fall, they should be left on the ground to conserve moisture. The old leaves of bergenia cannot be cut, they are carefully torn off, leaving no cuttings. This procedure is carried out in the fall.
Preparation for wintering will be required for young, fragile plants. Usually they are covered with spruce branches, old dry foliage, and this procedure is not needed for frost-resistant varieties.
The bush is propagated by cuttings or seeds. The seeds are black, very small, and during development the seedlings require care and constant monitoring. Special skill is needed when diving. In this case, flowering does not come soon. It is easier to propagate bergenia by cuttings. This requires large and healthy adult bushes. Rooting can be seen after a few days.
With proper care and maintenance, the banana will bloom regularly.
Diseases and pests
Blooming bergenia successfully coexists next to the host
If the badan does not bloom, it is necessary to inspect the plant for diseases and insect pests. The culture is resistant to various diseases, but with poor care, the plant weakens and some spotting appears on the leaves. Dark spots cover the leaf plate from the outside, and a white coating is observed on the opposite side. For treatment, it will be necessary to remove all affected leaves, and then proceed to treatment with Bordeaux liquid, foundationazole or other preparations containing copper. Of course, while the culture is sick, flowering does not occur.
Badan can affect the following types of pests:
- nematode;
- penis is drooling.
The nematode is a small worm that lives in the ground. The parasite lays larvae that are shaped like balls. It is characterized by rapid reproduction. You can correct the situation by transplanting the culture to another place, while removing part of the affected root system. The soil must be treated with special preparations and nothing should be planted in this place for about a year.
Pennitsa annoys the plant if it grows in shady places, with excess moisture. The insect produces saliva, which contains the larvae. Badan is covered with this mucus and begins to rot. For the treatment of culture from pennitsa, there are drugs such as Tsvetofos and Intavir.
What other reasons could there be
Sometimes badan does not bloom for reasons beyond the control of the gardener. This includes the age of the plant and its origin. If the culture is quite young and grown from seeds, then it has a slow development of seedlings, especially in the early years. She needs to wait a little, gain strength, and then, with proper care, flowering will be annual and in full.
When bergenia blooms poorly, it is recommended to measure the pH of the soil – it should be neutral. In the event that the soil is acidic, this can be corrected with garden lime.
Despite the fact that the culture is frost-resistant, it should be covered for the winter. Often the reason lies in the lack of heat, especially if the winter did not please with snow.
What to do if bergenia does not bloom
Thick-leaved bergenia has medicinal properties
If the bergenia does not bloom, there is no need to despair, it may need time to adapt after a recent transplant. A plant grown from seeds will take a long time to prepare for flowering. Sometimes it takes about 3-4 years.
It is also worth checking the culture for the presence of pests and diseases. You don’t have to worry about these issues either. In most cases, all diseases can be treated with special drugs.
It is imperative to make sure that the bush is located on the site correctly, taking into account the natural needs of this culture. You should know that bergenia does not tolerate the north side, excessive moisture and strong shading. It is also important to understand that the care of the plant complies with the basic rules and that it has enough fertilizing and watering, and pruning occurs in a timely manner.
Conclusion
Badan does not bloom for various reasons. In fact, this is one of the few perennials that gardeners love for its unpretentiousness. It has some features that require attention and basic knowledge. With proper care, the culture annually pleases with its flowering.
