Fertilization should consider the growth period and weather conditions. During the flower bud differentiation period, avoid applying excessive nitrogenous liquid fertilizers and use phosphorus-based fertilizers instead, as this may affect flower bud differentiation and future bloom quality. Fertilization should be stopped during the bud formation period to prevent the withering or falling of flower buds. In the summer and winter when temperatures are too high or too low, fertilization should also be stopped, as it may affect growth and blooming.
