Cymbidium, known as the "gentleman among flowers" since ancient times, is loved by flower enthusiasts for its elegant form and fresh fragrance. In the process of caring for cymbidium, the choice of fertilizer is crucial. Lancao slow-release fertilizer, as a new type of fertilizer, plays an important role in the maintenance of cymbidium due to its unique slow-release characteristics. This article will introduce the usage method of Lancao slow-release fertilizer in detail to help flower enthusiasts better care for their cymbidium.
The characteristics of Lancao slow-release fertilizerLancao slow-release fertilizer is a long-acting fertilizer, whose main components are organic matter, inorganic salts, and slow-release agents. Compared with traditional fertilizers, Lancao slow-release fertilizer has the following characteristics:
1. Long-acting: The nutrients in Lancao slow-release fertilizer are released slowly, which can meet the long-term growth needs of cymbidium and reduce the frequency of fertilization.
2. Safe: The nutrients in slow-release fertilizer are less likely to be lost, reducing the pollution of the fertilizer to the environment.
3. Balanced nutrition: The organic matter and inorganic salts contained in Lancao slow-release fertilizer can meet various needs during the growth of cymbidium.
The usage method of Lancao slow-release fertilizer1. Fertilization time
The fertilization time of Lancao slow-release fertilizer should be determined according to the growth stage of cymbidium and climatic conditions. Generally speaking, spring and autumn are the vigorous growth periods of cymbidium, and the amount of fertilizer can be appropriately increased; in summer and winter, the frequency of fertilization should be reduced.
2. Fertilization amount
The amount of Lancao slow-release fertilizer applied should be determined according to the size of the cymbidium, its growth condition, and soil fertility. Generally speaking, apply 1-2 times per year for each pot of cymbidium, with a dosage of 50-100 grams each time.
3. Fertilization method
(1) Sprinkle Lancao slow-release fertilizer evenly around the roots of the cymbidium and then gently cover it with soil.
(2) Avoid direct contact between the fertilizer and the leaves of the cymbidium during fertilization to prevent leaf burning.
(3) After fertilization, water thoroughly to allow the fertilizer to fully penetrate into the soil.
4. Precautions
(1) Before fertilizing, understand the composition and content of Lancao slow-release fertilizer to ensure that the fertilizer is suitable for the growth of cymbidium.
(2) After fertilization, pay attention to the growth condition of the cymbidium. If yellowing leaves or slow growth is observed, adjust the amount of fertilizer in a timely manner.
(3) Avoid using the same type of Lancao slow-release fertilizer continuously to prevent soil nutrient imbalance.
The advantages of Lancao slow-release fertilizer1. Improve the quality of cymbidium: Lancao slow-release fertilizer can provide sufficient nutrients for cymbidium, making the leaves greener and the flowers more vibrant.
2. Optimize the soil environment: The organic matter in Lancao slow-release fertilizer helps improve the soil structure and increase soil fertility.
3. Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the long-acting nature of Lancao slow-release fertilizer, the frequency of fertilization can be reduced, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Lancao slow-release fertilizer, as a new type of fertilizer, has significant advantages in the maintenance of cymbidium. Mastering the correct usage method can make the cymbidium grow healthier and of higher quality. It is hoped that the introduction in this article can be helpful to many cymbidium enthusiasts.
