During the growing period,麒麟花 requires plenty of sunlight and a suitable temperature, and the soil must also have good drainage.
Fertilization principles for麒麟花1. Moderate fertilization: Excessive fertilization can cause麒麟花 to grow too fast, easily leading to root rot; insufficient fertilization will affect the growth rate and flowering effect of 麒麟花.
2. Staged fertilization: Arrange the fertilization time according to the growth stage of 麒麟花 to ensure adequate nutrient supply.
3. Choose suitable fertilizers: Select fertilizers suitable for 麒麟花, such as compound fertilizers and organic fertilizers.
Fertilization methods for 麒麟花1. Fertilization before planting
Before planting 麒麟花, it is necessary to improve the soil. You can choose decomposed organic fertilizers or compound fertilizers, with an application rate of 500 grams per square meter. Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil surface and then mix it into the soil to make the soil loose and fertile.
2. Fertilization during the growing period
(1) Germination stage: Before 麒麟花 germinates, apply nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of about 5 grams per plant to promote plant growth.
(2) Growth stage: During the growth period of 麒麟花, apply compound fertilizer once a month, with a dosage of about 10 grams per plant. When fertilizing, spread the fertilizer evenly around the plant and avoid contact with the leaves.
(3) Flowering stage: Before 麒麟花开 flowers, apply phosphorus-potassium fertilizer at a rate of about 10 grams per plant to promote flowering.
3. Points to consider when fertilizing
(1) Fertilization time: It is best to fertilize in the morning or evening to avoid direct sunlight on the leaves.
(2) Fertilization method: Use the ring fertilization method, spreading the fertilizer around the plant and then watering.
(3) Fertilization frequency: Adjust the fertilization frequency according to the growth stage of 麒麟花 and the soil fertility.
