Potting plants can not only beautify the home environment, but also cultivate sentiments. To make potted plants thrive, appropriate topdressing is essential. This article will introduce you in detail the operation steps and precautions for potted topdressing to help your potted plants grow healthily. The importance of topdressing in potted plants Because the growth space is limited and soil nutrients are easy to consume, regular topdressing is needed. Topdressing can replenish nutrients in the soil, promote plant growth, and improve ornamental value. According to "China Flower News", reasonable topdressing can increase the growth rate of potted plants by more than 30%. Operation steps of topdressing in potted plants 1. Choose the right fertilizer According to the type and growth stage of potted plants, choose the right fertilizer, which is generally divided into organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers such as chicken manure, cow dung, etc. are rich in organic matter and a variety of trace elements, which are conducive to plant growth; inorganic fertilizers such as diammonium phosphate, potassium sulfate, etc. have high nutrient content and quick results.
2. Measure the amount of fertilizer application. Determine the amount of fertilizer application based on the size and growth status of the potted plants. The amount of fertilizer application per adult potted plants is 1/10 to 1/5 of the volume of the pot soil. Too much fertilizer application will cause the plants to burn their roots, and too little fertilizer application will not be able to meet plant growth needs.
3. Fertilization method (1) Foliar fertilization: After diluting the fertilizer, spray it evenly on the leaves with a sprayer. Foliar fertilization is suitable for plants that grow vigorously, such as leaf-viewing plants, flower-viewing plants, etc.
(2) Root fertilization: Apply fertilizer into the pot soil and then water it. Root fertilization is suitable for slow-growing plants, such as succulents, cactus, etc.
4. Fertilization time Potted topdressing is generally carried out during periods of vigorous plant growth, such as spring and autumn. Avoid fertilizing during plant dormancy periods to avoid affecting plant growth. Precautions for topdressing in potted plants 1. Fertilization should not be excessive. Excessive fertilization will cause plants to burn roots and affect growth. When fertilizing, the amount of fertilization should be controlled to avoid excessive.
2. Water timely after fertilization. Water timely after fertilization to promote the dissolution and absorption of fertilizer. When watering, be careful not to rush the fertilizer out of the pot.
3. Pay attention to the types and concentrations of fertilizers. Different types of fertilizers have different nutrient contents and effects. Appropriate fertilizers should be selected according to plant needs and soil conditions. Pay attention to the concentration of fertilizers to avoid causing fertilizer damage.
4. Observe the growth status of plants After fertilization, observe the growth status of plants, such as leaf color, growth speed, etc. If abnormalities are found, adjust the fertilization method and amount of fertilization in time.
Potted topdressing is the key to ensuring the healthy growth of potted plants. Mastering the correct topdressing methods and precautions can make your potted plants thrive and become a beautiful scenery at home.
