Does the Carnation flowering period require fertilization?
Today, the editor will explain whether the carnation flowering period requires fertilization and other related topics about the cultivation and maintenance tips of carnations. Specifically, the following is introduced:
Carnation is a relatively common flower in life, and it is very beautiful after blooming. However, in order to make it bloom, it is necessary to fertilize frequently. Many people do not know how to fertilize potted carnations, which will directly affect the normal growth of carnations. Therefore, in addition to watering, fertilization is also very important. So, what kind of fertilizer is good for carnations? Let's follow the editor to find out.
【One, how to fertilize potted carnations】
Carnations require a large amount of fertilizer because they grow slowly and need a lot of fertilizing and watering to promote growth. Usually, during the flowering season of carnations, it is necessary to fertilize frequently. It is generally in the period from March to April and September to October that carnations enter the rapid growth stage. At this time, increasing the amount of fertilizer is very necessary, and you can choose to fertilize once every week.
Moreover, fertilizing is mainly to promote the rapid growth of the plant. However, in winter, you must stop fertilizing because the temperature is relatively cold, and at this time, carnations usually enter a dormant period, so they will not absorb fertilizer. If you fertilize, it will only cause the roots of the carnation to rot, so you must pay more attention.
【Two, what kind of fertilizer is good for carnations】
We need to determine what kind of fertilizer to apply based on its own habits. Because it is a shallow-rooted variety, we cannot apply too high a concentration of flower fertilizer. Specifically speaking, diluted dung water or rapeseed cake are both very good choices. In addition, liquid fertilizers containing various nutrient elements are also acceptable.

Furthermore, carnations are relatively fond of fertilizers. During some periods, such as when the growth rate is slow, the nutrients accumulated by the plant itself are sufficient, so we do not need to fertilize. Therefore, when fertilizing, we should not over-fertilize or not fertilize at all, as this will directly affect the normal growth of carnations.
【Three, precautions for fertilizing carnations】
<1. Do not splash fertilizer on the leaves>
Carnations are not suitable for heavy fertilization. When fertilizing, do not splash fertilizer solution on the leaves and stems. High or low temperatures are not suitable for fertilizing, as this will affect plant growth and may cause the leaves of the carnation to turn yellow and the roots to rot directly.
<2. The choice of fertilizer should be correct>
The fertilizer chosen for fertilization should be correct, as not all fertilizers can be used for growing carnations. Moreover, the combination and proportion of nutrient elements should be scientifically reasonable, or it will not only fail to achieve the goal of effective topdressing but also affect the normal growth of the plant.
