Baptistonia echinata Spike Fails to Bloom: Rest Period Needed

Mixed Signals: Bloom Spike + New Growth = Energy Conflict

Plant sent spike 12/09 but no bloom, while new growth starts at base. Continuous water/feed triggered growth before bloom finished.

Fix: Simulate Rest

  • Cut back watering (maintain humidity).
  • Switch to bloom booster fertilizer.
  • Increase warmth and light.

Pat, the plant is confused. A dry rest period resets the bloom cycle. Try it and report back!
