Organic fertilizers or chemical fertilizers are generally used to fully provide the nutrients needed by the plant, and appropriate phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can promote the growth of flower buds and blooming. It is not recommended to use excessive chemical fertilizers, as this may lead to rapid growth and incomplete blooming of flower buds.
