Aparajita plant is known as ‘Vishnupriya’ and ‘Shankhapushpi’. Which is known for its beautiful blue flowers. It is believed that Lord Shiva likes this flower very much and offering it to Mahadev brings happiness and prosperity. But often people complain that their Aparajita plant has stopped flowering or the plant is drying up.

Actually, Aparajita is a vine plant which grows very fast, but it needs special nutrition to give flowers continuously. Gardening experts advise that to get more flowers from Aparajita, it is very important to remove its dead-heading and choose the right fertilizer. So that lots of flowers bloom and there is no shortage to offer to Bholenath.

Remove withered flowers immediately

The first rule to get continuous flowers from Aparajita is ‘dead-heading’. As soon as the flowers of the plant start drying, pluck them immediately and separate them. If dried flowers remain on the plant, the plant will start making seeds and all its energy will go into making seeds, which will stop new flowers from producing.

Use of vermicompost once a month

To increase the strength of the soil of the plant, use vermicompost at least once a month. Vermicompost provides nitrogen and other essential micro-nutrients to the soil, which strengthens the roots of the vine and increases the number of flowers.

banana peel liquid fertilizer

Potassium is the most essential element for the production of flowers. Soak banana peels in water for 2-3 days and then pour that water on the roots of Aparajita. This liquid fertilizer works like a flower booster and buds start emerging within a few days.

right choice of incense

​Aparajita plant likes sunlight very much. So, keep the plant in a place where it gets 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight daily. If kept in a shady place, the vine will grow longer, but it will not produce flowers. Only when it gets sufficient light is the plant able to photosynthesize properly and produce flowers.

do pinching from above

To make the plant dense, do light pinching of its upper branches. When you break the topmost part of the branch with your fingers, two new branches emerge from there. The more branches you have, the more flowering space you will have and your vine will be filled with flowers.

Way to get more flowers from Aparajita

attention to soil moisture

The soil of Aparajita should always be slightly moist, but not waterlogged. Adding too much water causes the roots to rot and flowers to fall. At the same time, when the soil becomes too dry, the plant gets stressed and stops giving flowers. Therefore, water only when the upper surface of the soil becomes dry.
