The potted camellia at home have grown a little wilted recently. Is it because the nutrition can't keep up? Don't worry, let me give you a suggestion and tell you what kind of fertilizer is most suitable for potted camellia! To understand the needs of camellia, choosing the right fertilizer is the key.
Camellia, this elegant plant, has a particular demand for fertilizer. First of all, you need to know that camellia likes acidic soil, so when applying fertilizer, you must choose a fertilizer suitable for acidic soil. Next, let's talk about several fertilizers suitable for potted camellia. 1. Organic fertilizer
Organic fertilizer is camellia's favorite. For example, decomposed chicken manure, cow dung, sheep dung, etc. are all good organic fertilizers. These fertilizers are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients, and can provide comprehensive nutrition for camellia.
Usage: Mix organic fertilizer with the soil, or bury the fertilizer in the soil and let the camellia slowly absorb it. Note that organic fertilizers should be fully decomposed, otherwise the roots of camellia may be burned. 2. Compound fertilizer
Compound fertilizers contain a variety of nutrient elements and are relatively convenient to use. There are many compound fertilizers specially designed for acidic soil on the market, such as ammonium sulfate, calcium superphosphate, etc.
Usage: Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging, evenly sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil surface, and then gently water it to dissolve the fertilizer in the soil. 3. Trace element fertilizer During the growth process, camellia also needs some trace elements, such as iron, zinc, boron, etc. Although these elements are in small demand, they are crucial to the growth of camellia.
Usage: You can choose special trace element fertilizers and apply them according to the instructions. Some organic fertilizers containing trace elements, such as bone meal, seaweed fertilizer, etc., can also be applied to camellia soil. Fertilization time and frequency The timing and frequency of fertilization of camellia are also important. Generally speaking, spring and autumn are the seasons when camellia grows vigorously, and the frequency of fertilization can be increased appropriately at this time. During high temperatures in summer, the growth rate of camellia will slow down, and the frequency of fertilization can be appropriately reduced.
Fertilization time: It is best to fertilize in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight. Fertilization Tips 1. Avoid over-fertilization: Over-fertilization can cause burns and even death to camellia roots. When fertilizing, be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging.
2. Water in time after fertilization: Water in time after fertilization to help the fertilizer dissolve in the soil and allow the camellia to be better absorbed.
3. Pay attention to the fertilization location: When fertilizing, avoid spraying fertilizer directly on the leaves of camellia to avoid burning the leaves.
4. Regularly check the soil pH: Camellia flowers like acidic soil, so check the soil pH regularly to ensure that the soil is acidic.
Fertilization is the key to making potted camellia grow vigorously. Understand the needs of camellia, choose the right fertilizer, and master the right fertilization methods. Your camellia will surely grow vigorously and bloom beautiful flowers!
