The chestnut blossom is an amazing sight. However, this plant is quite demanding in terms of temperature and humidity. If the environmental conditions are not suitable for the chestnut, then it simply will not bloom. Chestnuts feel best in pairs or in single plantings, do not try to create group compositions, this can adversely affect the state of the trees.
Instructions
Step 1
Perhaps your chestnut is not starting to bloom due to the fact that there is not enough space for it. Chestnuts cannot stand tightness. When planting, try to allocate a circle for one plant, which is at least three meters in diameter. This will give the chestnut room to grow and develop properly. With close plantings, the plants begin to compete with each other, fight for territory, so they do not bloom. Experts say that after a while, several plants will surely die under the onslaught of neighbors, and the rest will continue to gain strength, and only after that they will begin to bloom.
Step 2
Another reason for the lack of flowering can be a lack of warmth. It all depends on the variety of your chestnut. For example, a horse chestnut can delight you with its flowering even in a cool spring, and if an edible chestnut grows on your site, then it needs a temperature of at least 15-18 ° C, otherwise it will not bloom. The advantage of chestnut is that it only needs a couple of warm days for it to pick up color.
Step 3
If the chestnut is young and does not want to start blooming in any way, then the plant has simply not formed yet. You should wait. The minimum age for a horse chestnut to bloom is 10 years, while for other species this figure may be higher, on average 15 seasons. If you are sure that your chestnut has already reached the required age, then you need to look for another reason for the lack of flowering. Perhaps it's all about a lack of moisture. Chestnut loves water very much. Sometimes bud candles appear on the plant, but never open. This may indicate dryness of the air and soil.
Step 4
There is a plant called chestnutosperum. It can be grown at home. This variety of chestnut in nature blooms for six months, but this cannot be achieved in indoor conditions. The fact is that in apartments the chestnutosperum does not bloom at all, with the exception of some unique cases, so if you are the owner of this particular type of chestnut, do not try to get it to bloom at home.
