How often are potted plants fertilized? How often flowers and plants are fertilized

Many flower lovers grow potted flowers to green the air and decorate the room. If you want to raise a good flower pot, fertilization is essential. Fertilizing potted flowers, pay attention to certain skills, improper fertilization is prone to many problems.

To fertilize a potted flower, the first thing to consider is how often to fertilize? How to measure the amount of fertilization? What do I need to pay attention to during fertilization?

Let's explain them one by one.

In the process of raising flowers, fertilizers of different elements are supplemented for them in different growth periods, which is the key factor in raising flowers well. We all know that any plant and flower, when the nutrients in the soil cannot maintain the normal growth of the plant, there will be thin branches, yellow leaves, and scarce flowering. However, some flower friends do not know much about the different elements of fertilizer, which leads to the opposite effect after fertilization.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are usually lacking in soil.

The fertilizer is also known as the "fertilizer triad".

Starting from May every year, you can apply compound fertilizer to potted flowers every 10 days. Compound fertilizer is easy to absorb and is conducive to the growth of flower potted plants. To add compound fertilizer to flower pots, pay attention to the amount and method of fertilizer.

If it is sprinkled directly on the surface of the potting soil, it will cause a lot of waste. It is recommended to use the method of hole application, dig a hole in the potting soil, bury the fertilizer in it, and then cover it with soil.

Compound fertilizer contains a variety of nutrients, and the amount does not need too much to meet the nutritional needs of potted flowers. Generally, for small flower pots, three or four grains can be placed in the pot. After putting the fertilizer, water it properly and dissolve the fertilizer, and it will slowly develop a fertilizer effect.

If the flower potted plant is relatively large and grows vigorously, you can appropriately increase the amount of fertilizer, such as putting five or six compound fertilizers in the potting soil.

1.Fertilize according to plant size.

If the flower plant is relatively small and the growth is relatively weak, it is necessary to pay attention to reducing the amount when applying compound fertilizer. If too much fertilizer is applied, the roots of the plant cannot be absorbed normally, which will affect the normal growth of the plant.

2.Fertilize according to the quality of the fertilizer.

Some fertilizers are volatile and can be put a few less; Some fertilizers have weak fertilizer efficiency, so you can put a few more grains. To fertilize potted flowers, try to choose some fertilizers, which will have less impact on the roots of flowers.

3.Number of fertilizations.

Fertilize potted flowers, not too often, just every other month. Of course, during its vigorous growth period, the number of fertilization can be increased appropriately.

If you apply fertilizer normally, you can use it 2 or 3 times a month, and you need to dilute it during the use process, remember to use thick fertilizer for watering. Because the thicker the fertilizer, the higher the temperature will be generated in the pot, and the roots of the plant we all say should always be kept ventilated and cool, and the high temperature for a long time will cause the roots to be burned.

First, the newly planted, newly potted, and newly changed potted trees and potted flowers have damaged their root systems, so it is advisable not to fertilize them for the time being. In spring and summer, potted flowers and potted trees are in peak season, so you must apply more fertilizer. In autumn, potted flowers and potted trees grow slowly, so less fertilizer is needed.

In winter, flowering trees enter the dormant period and stop fertilizing. It is not suitable to fertilize around noon on rainy days or high temperatures in midsummer (fertilization is easy to lose in rainy days, and fertilization in high temperature weather is easy to hurt the root system). Fertilization is best done on cloudy days, in the evening or when the potting soil is slightly dry, first remove weeds and loosen the soil, which is conducive to fertilizer water infiltration into the soil and accelerates the decomposition of fertilizer.

However, it must be watered thoroughly the next morning, commonly known as "return water", which is not only conducive to the absorption of fertilizer water but also avoids fertilizer damage.

The second is to apply thin fertilizer frequently, and the amount of fertilizer applied each time should be small and thin. Generally speaking, from the beginning of spring to the beginning of autumn, chase thin fertilizer water (seven points of water and three points of fertilizer) every 15 days; Top dressing once 30 days after the beginning of autumn, and stop topdressing after the beginning of winter.

Fertilization once every three months or half a year is fine, because the amount of soil for potted plants is limited, excessive fertilization may cause excessive nutrients of plants, which is not conducive to the growth of plants, and it is enough to keep it once every three months or half a year.

1. Distinguish whether it is a ground plant or a potted plant, potted plants are fertilized relative to the ground planting, if human and animal manure is used, it must be diluted and then applied.

2. Look at the growth: the leaves are thin and thin, the buds are pregnant before the buds, and the flowers should be fertilized more, the leaves are green and the stems are strong, the flowers are long and the buds are long, the new plants are waiting to sleep, and the sick and withered are grown with little or no fertilization.

3. Look at the sky: fertilize more in spring and summer and reduce in autumn, stop fertilizing in cold winter, do not fertilize when the wind is strong in rainy days, and avoid strong light and fertilize in the evening.

4. Look at the potting soil: neutralize the alkali when the potting soil is too acidic, add alum when the potting soil is too alkaline, add home fertilizer when the potting soil is white, and the potting soil is just the right aggregate.

5. The category of flowers: herbaceous phosphorus is preferred, and bulb potassium fertilizer is used first.

6. Avoid excessive thick fertilizer, avoid partial application of single fertilizer, and avoid raw fertilizer that is not ripe.

7. Small seedlings do not need to fertilize when the buds and oranges are young, especially when the buds and leaves are red, it is not fertilized, so as not to hurt the buds and roots, and when the buds are strong, you can apply thin fertilizer diligently, spring and summer are the vigorous growth period of small trees, and you can fertilize once in one or two weeks or even one or two months.

How often to use organic fertilizer for raising flowers should be determined according to the variety and growth of flowers. No matter what kind of flowers you are, you need organic fertilizer, and the nutrients are sufficient to bloom and grow better. Some have to be applied once a month, such as moon flowers, roses.

There are also seedlings that can be applied once a year, in the autumn of each year, which is more conducive to the growth of the next year.

Family flowers generally do not need too much fertilizer, especially the more popular foliage flowers for the Brazilian iron pillar, fortune tree, etc., because to maintain the original plant shape, to prevent aging, generally in the spring and autumn rainy season each fertilization 12 times, other vigorous flowers, generally once a month can be fertilized, fertilizer can be selected with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer 500-800 times.
