How to Know If Your Plant Is Budding?

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, produce buds that open into flowers. In order for a plant to produce flower buds, certain requirements must be met, including light, temperature, age and nutrition. These factors have to be properly balanced in order for your plants to bud and produce flowers.

Instructions

- 1
  Examine the plant. The buds on plants will appear at the end of the plant’s stems and may or may not be surrounded by leaves.
- 2
  Look at the shape of the buds. Most buds are either spheres or ovals.
- 3
  Feel the bud. If it’s firm and green, your plant is budding. If the bud is brown, it’s damaged beyond repair. Pick the bud off to see if your plant will produce new buds with improved conditions, such as warmer weather.
