How to fertilize Chrysanthemum, Disocactus and Clivia in winter
The editor answers related topics about the cultivation of flowers such as Chrysanthemum, Disocactus, and Clivia fertilization in winter, details are as follows:
In winter, whether fertilizing or watering, extra attention should be paid, otherwise it can easily lead to the death of potted plants. For example,发财树 (Fortune Tree) and 幸福树 (Happy Tree) often turn yellow leaves in winter, and improper watering can easily cause the death of the Fortune Tree.
In addition to watering, fertilizing should also be paid special attention to in winter. Many flower friends see that Chrysanthemum, Disocactus, and Clivia are still blooming in winter and want to fertilize more to hope for more blooms. However, excessive fertilization can also cause the death of potted plants.
Today, let's talk about how Chrysanthemum and Disocactus should be fertilized in winter to make them grow better and bloom longer.
Chrysanthemum winter fertilizing method:
In winter, Chrysanthemum is either in full bloom or full of flower buds. Proper fertilization can promote the growth of Chrysanthemum and extend the blooming period.
If the room temperature is below 10 degrees in winter, Chrysanthemum will be in a停滞 (growth停滞) stage. If Chrysanthemum is blooming, it is recommended not to fertilize, as low temperature can extend the blooming period of Chrysanthemum.
How to fertilize Chrysanthemum, Disocactus, and Clivia in winter
If the room temperature is above 10 degrees, Chrysanthemum grows slowly and can be top-dressed with some dilute phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, once every 2 weeks. Use a dilute potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer, the concentration should be low. Potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer is a fast-acting fertilizer, and a high concentration can be difficult for slowly growing Chrysanthemum to absorb, easily causing fertilizer damage.
Disocactus winter fertilizing method:
Disocactus also blooms in winter, and the number of blooms is particularly large, consuming a lot of nutrients, so it is necessary to supplement fertilizers appropriately to make the Disocactus bloom more and for a longer period.
If the room temperature is above 15 degrees in winter, Disocactus still grows. During the bud stage, spray the leaves with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every 7 days. Note that the concentration should not be too high, with a concentration of more than 3000 times being more suitable, and should not be sprayed too much to avoid dripping.
Foliar spray absorption is fast. Spraying water and potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer on the leaves of Disocactus can promote the rapid growth of flower buds.
After blooming, to ensure that Disocactus has enough nutrients to allow all the flower buds to bloom, fertilization should also be carried out during the blooming period. You can shallowly bury a little bone meal at the edge of the flowerpot and apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate fertilizer to the roots every 15 days.
