The Warm Water Shock

Place the stems of your cut flowers in a vase of warm, not hot, water. The warmth mimics the ideal conditions of a sunny day, encouraging the flowers to open more quickly.

The NPK ‘Bloom Booster’ Fertiliser Hack

For flowering plants in your garden, the right nutrients are key. The secret lies in the ratio of the three main nutrients: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). Use a fertiliser with a higher middle number (P) in the N-P-K ratio, such as a 10-20-10 or 15-30-15 blend. 

The Magical Epsom Salt Solution

Epsom salt is a gardener's secret weapon for boosting plant health and blooming. Dissolve one tablespoon of Epsom salt in a gallon of water and use this solution to water your flowering plants once a month.

The Deadheading Discipline

This isn't an overnight trick, but it's one of the most effective and often-overlooked methods for encouraging more blooms over time. Regularly ‘deadhead’ your flowers—which means pinching or cutting off the spent, faded flower heads.

Strategic Sunlight Exposure

Ensure your plants are receiving the correct amount of sun. Most flowering plants need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce a good number of blooms. To speed up the process, you can also use artificial grow lights indoors to extend the daylight hours.
