How to Deal with Fertilization Issues in Home Flower Cultivation
Regarding how to deal with fertilization issues in home flower cultivation and answers to questions about flower fertilization, the following is some experience in green plant maintenance that the editor will introduce to netizens.
Except for succulents, potted flowers and green plants need to be fertilized regularly, and different plants have different requirements for the amount of fertilizer.
The plants commonly cultivated at home can be mainly divided into three categories.
The most numerous are flowering plants, such as longevity flowers,Disocactus, and other plants like the grass-type flowers Marguerite and dwarf morning glory. The second category is plants sold in the flower market all year round, such as money trees, happiness trees, devil's ivy, and hanging orchids, which are common green plants in Chinese homes. The third category is tropical plants, like the recently popular in the Chinese horticulture market, such as the turtleback bamboo,散尾葵 (scoop palm), and滴水观音 (singing-nun palm) and other large tropical ornamental leaf plants.
The three types of plants have different fertilizer needs. Among them, flowering plants require the most nutrients, starting from spring every year, they need to use fertilizers continuously. The more flowers the plant has, the more fertilizer is needed. For example, dwarf morning glory needs to use water-soluble fertilizer twice a month on average, and slow-release fertilizer granules should still be used in the summer.
For most ornamental leaf plants, slow-release fertilizer granules can be used, and there is no need to use liquid fertilizers. Ornamental leaf plants do not require a lot of nutrients, and the purpose of using fertilizers is to enhance the plant's resistance. The slow-release fertilizer granules sold in the market cost about 20 to 30 yuan per jin and can be used for three to four years. As long as the granules in the pot are exhausted, you can sprinkle some.
How to Deal with Fertilization Issues in Home Flower Cultivation
The most commonly used fertilizer in home flower cultivation is potassium dihydrogen phosphate granular fertilizer. Small granular fertilizers can be dissolved in water, mixed at a ratio of 1:1000. Mixing the granular powder in water and applying it through irrigation is the best method. Alternatively, slow-release fertilizer granules can be directly sprinkled on the soil, eliminating the need for complex fertilization methods, which can help plants grow better.
Fertilization is actually very simple. The longer you cultivate flowers, the more you will understand. Each fertilization cycle will show different plant responses, and even comparisons can be made. Take two identical pots of plants, fertilize one regularly, and do not fertilize the other. After three months of comparison, the condition of the two pots of plants will definitely be different.
As long as you have potassium dihydrogen phosphate granular fertilizer and slow-release fertilizer granules on hand, these two types of fertilizers are sufficient for indoor plants. Mix potassium dihydrogen phosphate with water according to the ratio for irrigation. In the spring, sprinkle a handful of granular fertilizer on the surface of the flower soil, and the rest is to expose the plant to sunlight, as only under the sunlight can the plant's roots absorb nutrients.
