Q.Why Is My Red Hot Poker Plant Not Producing Blooms

Zone 78624 - zone 8 | beanjelly*^^ added on June 8, 2022 | Answered

I have two plants. Both bloomed when I first put them in the ground and not since then. That has been approximately 6-8 weeks. Good soil, well-drained, full sun, giving it minimal water only when dry. I did not upload a photo as it is just a healthy looking green. Thank you for having this \\\”ask section\\\” as I have been unable to find any information.

Likely, it will not resume proper blooming until next year. This year will be spent acclimating and healing over wounds from transplant.

Make sure that your fertilizer of choice does not contain too much nitrogen. This will halt blooming. Make sure that it is a well balanced fertilizer, or add extra phosphorus and potassium during times that it should be blooming. This will ensure that it has the proper nutrient ratios for blooming.
