Make phosphorus-potassium fertilizer solution with bat dung fertilizer
The core content of this article: the topic of knowledge about succulent plants, making phosphorus-potassium fertilizer solution with bat dung fertilizer, next, the editor of this site will introduce to everyone.
As we all know, in the original place of succulent plants, the amount of fertilizer absorbed by plants is very small. They only get a small amount of fertilizer from the old and decayed leaves. Therefore, in the original place, the growth of plants, especially Vireya plants, is extremely slow. However, for succulent plants raised at home, supplementing a certain amount of fertilizer according to the different growth periods of plants has a certain positive effect on the growth of plants.
Personally, I rarely apply any fertilizer to the plants in my daily maintenance. I once applied long-acting slow-release fertilizer on the pot surface, but now I no longer do it. This is because I think that for the plants we are currently raising, the various potting materials that have been prepared can already provide relatively high nutrients for the plants, so there is no need to add fertilizer again. This is also my basic understanding of fertilizing succulent plants in the breeding process. However, in the process of raising Vireya plants, when the plants are about to enter the stage of drawing swords before flowering, appropriate and small amount of top dressing with phosphorus-potassium fertilizer will make the flower stems of Vireya plants strong and not easy to fall over, promote flowering and seed setting, and make the seeds full.
It is based on the above reasons that I have been using monopotassium phosphate for fertilization in previous years, but I think that using monopotassium phosphate every year will make the plants develop a certain resistance, and the variety of phosphorus-potassium fertilizer should be changed from time to time to make the plants have better absorption. With such an idea, I came up with the idea of making organic phosphorus-potassium fertilizer with the available bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) and started to implement it. The following is an introduction to my method and process of making organic phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. If there are any mistakes, please correct them directly:
【Raw Material】Bat guano, which has a high content of phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K: 1-10-1), belongs to a kind of material with high content in organic matter and has been decomposed.
【Production Process 1】Use about 400 grams of bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano)
【Production Process 2】Pour the bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) into a water bucket of about 10 liters
【Production Process 3】After adding water, stir to make the bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) completely immersed in water and let it sit for about a day
【Production Process 4】After soaking for a day, filter out the bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) solution, pour it into another container (the white bucket on the right), and the remaining muddy bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) can continue to be soaked in water.
【Production Process 5】The filtered bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) solution can be stored in a container, or it can be diluted with water at a ratio of 1:100. In this way, the bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) solution is basically ready, and the method and process are extremely simple.
【Production Process 6】When watering Vireya plants, pour the diluted bat dung fertilizer (Bat guano) into water, follow the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently, and the concentration should not be too high. Water the plants normally.
【Postscript】
The above is Shuxiang's personal practice of making phosphorus-potassium fertilizer with bat dung fertilizer. At present, it is only in the experimental stage. The impact and effect on plants after fertilization, as well as the dilution ratio and the operation process, are all my subjective guesses. Everything needs to be observed and compared gradually in the maintenance of the plants in the future. Therefore, please communicate and teach more with flower friends and bloggers. Do not easily imitate, and I assume no responsibility for any consequences.

【Related Knowledge】The role of phosphorus and potassium in the growth and development of crops
(1) Phosphorus: Phosphorus is a component of the cell nucleus and nucleic acids, which play an important role in the growth, development, and genetic characteristics of crops. Phospholipids contain phosphorus, and phospholipids are important components of biomembranes. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contains phosphate, and ATP is a high-energy phosphate compound that actively participates in the energy metabolism process in crops and serves as an energy transfer station. Phosphorus is a participant in various metabolic processes in plants and affects the transport of carbohydrates, as well as the synthesis of starch, protein, fat, and cellulose. Phosphorus improves the drought, cold, and alkali resistance of crops.
Phosphate fertilizer is a fertilizer that provides phosphorus nutrients needed for plant growth and can be divided into natural phosphate fertilizer and artificial phosphate fertilizer. Appropriate application of phosphate fertilizer has a good effect on root development, can promote the strengthening of crop stems, prevent lodging, enhance drought, cold, and disease resistance, and promote flowering and seed setting, making the crop seeds full. Potassium fertilizer is a fertilizer that provides potassium nutrients needed for plant growth.
(2) Potassium: Promoting various metabolic processes in crops. Potassium can promote photosynthesis in crops, promote respiration, improve the absorption and transport of nitrogen in crops, and play an important role in the transport of nutrients and synthesis of organic matter in crops. Potassium can improve the quality of crops and is an important quality element. Potassium can improve the stress resistance of crops. Potassium can promote the development of epidermal and vascular tissues in crops, increase cell water-holding capacity, reduce crop transpiration, and enhance drought resistance. Potassium can increase the accumulation of sugar in crops, increase cell osmotic pressure, and enhance cold resistance. In addition, potassium can also enhance the resistance of crops to lodging and disease invasion. Potassium fertilizer contains potassium, which is an essential nutrient element for crops. Its main functions include the following aspects: ① Potassium is an activator of more than 60 bi enzymes and can ensure the normal growth and development of crops. ② Potassium promotes photosynthesis and can increase the absorption and transformation of carbon dioxide in crops. ③ Potassium promotes the synthesis of sugar and fat and can improve the quality of products. ④ Potassium promotes the synthesis of cellulose and can enhance the lodging resistance of rice, wheat, and corn, as well as increase the yield and quality of cotton and hemp. ⑤ Potassium regulates cell solution concentration and cell wall permeability and can improve the resistance of crops to diseases, pests, drought, and cold. Therefore, almost every crop needs to apply potassium fertilizer appropriately.
