What should be paid attention to when fertilizing plants
Today's editor introduces what should be paid attention to when fertilizing plants and the related introduction of green plants and flowers for beginners to fertilize flowers, and then let's learn about it together.
If you want to grow flowers and plants well at home, in addition to daily watering, sunbathing, and pruning, fertilization is also a very important task. Whether it is germinating new buds, growing branches and leaves, or孕育花 buds, flowers and plants need to obtain sufficient nutrients from fertilizers. Many新手 flower friends who have just started growing flowers do not understand how to fertilize well. Here are three fertilization suggestions for you, which are simple and practical, suitable for most kinds of flower varieties.
1. Fertilizing indoor ornamental plants
Many families like to plant some flowers and plants indoors. Due to poor lighting and less ventilation in indoor spaces, it is difficult to grow sun-loving flowering plants, and often some ornamental green plants such as epiphyllum,龟背竹, and money trees are raised. These ornamental plants grow slowly indoors due to lack of sunlight and ventilation. We should also be restrained in fertilizing. Over-fertilizing slow-growing plants can easily cause fertilizer damage.
Generally speaking, indoor ornamental plants do not need fertilizers with too strong effects and it is recommended to use slow-release fertilizers. As the name implies, slow-release fertilizers are fertilizers that release slowly, usually with an effect of 3 months to half a year. That is to say, it is enough to apply fertilizers once every 3 months to half a year, and just sprinkle some slow-release fertilizers on the soil surface of the flowerpot when fertilizing, which is very convenient to use.
If the lighting and ventilation conditions at home are good, ornamental plants grow very fast. In addition to applying slow-release fertilizers, we can also add some water-soluble fertilizers to the flowers and plants. Water-soluble fertilizers are liquid fertilizers that need to be dissolved in water, such as the commonly used "Flower More 1", "Melos", "Plant Nutrition Liquid", and so on. Dilute the fertilizer with water according to the instructions to make a fertilizer solution. (When diluting with water, try to dilute it to the lowest concentration) Pour the fertilizer solution into the roots of the plant. It is usually used in the season when plants grow rapidly, once every 10-15 days.

2. Fertilization suggestions for potted flowers on the balcony
Compared with the indoor environment, the ventilation and lighting on the balcony are slightly better, and the growth of flowers and plants will also be faster. Therefore, there are some differences in fertilization compared with indoor plants.
If it is a closed balcony or the balcony is in a north wind, and the air circulation is not very good, it is not recommended to use organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers are usually made of organic waste such as animal manure, fruit peels, and soybean meal, which can attract decaying insects like black flies. Using organic fertilizers can easily cause pest outbreaks, so it is recommended to use chemical fertilizers like slow-release fertilizers.
If the balcony at home is open or it is a courtyard or outdoor, and there is no problem with air circulation, then organic fertilizers can be used. Proper use of organic fertilizers can improve the soil structure and have many benefits that chemical fertilizers do not have. Commonly used organic fertilizers include decomposed cow dung, sheep manure, chicken manure, soybean cake fertilizers, and so on.
