Meat flower, whose scientific name is "fleshy coral", is a very popular succulent plant. With their unique fleshy leaves and plump plant types, they have become the favorite of many gardening enthusiasts. The meat flower is not only beautiful, but also has strong vitality and can thrive without much care. But, you know what? If you want to make meat flowers grow healthier and more beautiful, fertilization is the key! The "golden rule" for meat flower fertilization
1. Understanding the growth habits of meat flowers
Before applying fertilizer to meat flowers, you must first understand their growth habits. Meat flowers like an environment with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation, and do not have a high demand for water. Therefore, excessive fertilization should be avoided to avoid causing root rot. 2. Choosing the right fertilizer Meat flowers do not require high fertilizer, but proper fertilization can promote their growth. The following are some fertilizers suitable for meat flowers: -Organic fertilizers: such as decomposed chicken manure, cow dung, etc., are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, which can promote the growth of meat flowers.
- Compound fertilizers: There are many compound fertilizers on the market specifically designed for succulent plants and can be applied according to the instructions on the fertilizer packaging.
- Liquid fertilizer: Liquid fertilizer is easy to apply, but attention should be paid to the concentration to avoid burning meat. 3. Timing and frequency of fertilization Generally speaking, meat flowers need more fertilizer during their peak growth periods (spring and autumn). During this period, fertilizer should be applied once a month. In summer and winter, due to the slow growth rate of meat flowers, the frequency of fertilization can be appropriately reduced. Tips for fertilizing 1. Fertilization location: Apply fertilizer around the roots of the meat flowers to avoid direct contact with the leaves.
2. Fertilization method: If it is solid fertilizer, you can bury it in the soil; if it is liquid fertilizer, you can slowly pour it along the edge of the pot.
3. Precautions after fertilization: Water it in time after fertilization to help the fertilizer dissolve and penetrate into the soil. Answers to frequently asked questions 1. Why is my meat flower not growing well?
It may be due to improper fertilization, too much watering, or insufficient light. It is recommended to check your own maintenance methods and make adjustments accordingly. 2. Can chemical fertilizer be applied to meat flowers?
Yes, but pay attention to controlling the dosage to avoid burning the meat. 3. Do you need to change soil after fertilizing meat flowers?
Not necessarily. If the soil quality is good, it can continue to be used. However, if the soil is severely hardened, it is recommended to replace it with new soil.
Dear reader, through the above introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of meat flower fertilization. Remember that although meat flowers are easy to raise, proper fertilization is still indispensable. Let us take good care of these lovely plants together and let them bloom with the most beautiful brilliance in the garden!
