Why balsam does not bloom at home - the main reasons
Content:
Many growers are faced with a problem when balsam stops growing or does not grow at all. Subject to the rules of care, the indoor flower develops successfully. Having figured out why balsam does not bloom at home, it is easy to find a solution to the problem.
When should the buds appear and bloom
When using the seed method of propagation, the sprouts will appear much faster if they are planted in peat tablets. In order for the seeds to germinate, they should be placed on the surface, without covering them with soil for better illumination.

After 10-15 days, shoots will already be visible, which, together with the tablets, must be transplanted into small pots, sprinkled with loose and nutritious soil.
Why there are no flowers, but only leaves grow
An unpretentious plant can be kept not only in the garden, but also at home. If the balsam does not bloom, you should check how suitable the conditions for its habitat are.

The reasons for this condition may be the following factors:
- Lack of lighting. Indoor plants can stop developing due to lack of daylight. To fix this problem, you need to rearrange the flower pot in a well-lit area.
- Violation of the temperature regime. Balsam may not dissolve the buds due to the presence of a draft in the house or sudden temperature changes.
- Dry indoor air. For the plant to develop and bloom, the leaves should be regularly sprayed.
- Improper watering. The people call the flower "Vanka wet". And, as the name suggests, the plant loves moist soil. However, if you water too much, the root system can rot. As a result, the plant will not only stop blooming, but will soon die.
- The pot is incorrectly selected. When planting a flower, you should pay attention to the size of the pot. With too much capacity during the growth process, the balsam will spend its energy on the formation of roots, and not on flowering.
- Errors in feeding. Flowering is also influenced by the correct fertilization. Excess fertilization can cause flowering to stop.
- The plant is affected by a disease that affects flowering. Due to improper care, gray rot can form on the flower. To prevent this from happening, watering should be moderate.
- The appearance of pests. Sometimes the flower is attacked by whiteflies or spider mites. To cope with the problem, you should regularly spray the plant with special protective agents.
What to do to make the balsam bloom
For harmonious growth and flowering, a plant needs: good lighting, an acceptable temperature regime, a relative humidity of the air that will be suitable for a given plant, a properly selected pot and no pests.
Well-groomed plant
If you follow all the rules for caring for the plant, you can achieve continuous flowering of balsam and enjoy this phenomenon for more than one year.
