When to apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate to Clivia Miniata
Today's focus is to introduce you to some knowledge about Clivia Miniata, when to apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate to Clivia Miniata, let's take a look together!
Some flower friends ask about the month for applying potassium dihydrogen phosphate to Clivia Miniata. We need to first talk about the function of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which is generally accepted by flower friends as a flower promoting fertilizer. But it also has another effect, which is to strengthen the roots. Because it is an inorganic fertilizer, the effect comes and goes quickly. The manifestation on Clivia Miniata is that it will make the orchid black when used in large quantities, making the orchid wide and short, and also very strong. This is also why some flower friends say that the orchid using potassium dihydrogen phosphate is a medicinal orchid.
This does not mean that it cannot be used at all, but the purpose is different. If we just want to promote flowering, we can apply fertilization as instructed during the bud formation period, generally at a concentration of 0.1%, which can be chosen to pour on the roots or spray on the leaves. If it is as mentioned before, like to make the orchid black and green and strong, then potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be used during the growing period.
Below is a paragraph for reference by flower friends!
Proper use can strengthen the roots (phosphorus); resist stress, make leaves tough, resist虫 bite and pathogen infection (potassium), and increase the amount of use in the early stage of flowering (recommended to use with calcium fertilizer to protect flowers and fruits). Excessive use will affect the absorption of other nutrients. Common dosage 0.2%/month spray on leaves or 0.1% pour on roots.
Excessive phosphorus fertilizer will cause plants to lack trace elements such as zinc and silicon, and the leaves will be soft and small; excessive potassium fertilizer will affect calcium absorption and cause plant root rot and core rot.
