When Do Succulents Bloom?
Succulents bloom at different times of the year. Some bloom in early spring to late summer, but some can also bloom in the fall and winter months. It depends on the type of succulents you have and the environmental conditions they face.
How Do You Care For a Flowering Succulent?
You do not need to give a flowering succulent any special treatment. A flowering succulent is meeting all of its needs just as it is. Just continue to provide the same care you’ve normally been giving your plant and it will do the rest.Some people like to supply extra nutrients to the plant to ensure that it is receiving the proper nutrients it needs for growth and to sustain the blooms. Fertilizer administered at ¼ to ½ strength every two to four weeks should be sufficient and will supply your plants the nutrients it needs. Here are some of my fertilizer recommendations. The only time I’ve seen my succulents fail to fully bloom or achieve a full bloom is when they have been overwatered. This is when a succulent plant or a cactus starts shooting out what appears to be a bloom stalk but then fails to fully bloom. I’ve seen this on overwatered plants and plants that have stayed wet from too much rain outdoors. If you want to see your succulents bloom, particularly cacti, it is important to provide enough water but not to overwater.
