Answer 1

Unfortunately, this is very plant specific. Simply put, some plants will require more water when flowering, while others will require less, or even none, while flowering.

Generally, a plant will want the soil to increase in pH slightly, which comes with an increase in phosphorus and potassium, or a decrease in nitrogen content.

Combined, the ratio change of nutrients, along with many environmental factors that are plant specific will dictate flowering in any given plant.
