Novice flower enthusiasts are particularly concerned about what fertilizer to use for roses. This article is about a flower enthusiast's own method of fertilizing roses, which is of reference value for novice flower enthusiasts. Let's get to the point, here is the author's inventory of organic and inorganic fertilizers:
1. Organic fertilizers: chicken droppings, earthworm dung;
2. Inorganic fertilizers: Huaduo No.1 (universal NPK 20:20:20 with trace elements), Huaduo No.2 (for flowering, NPK: 10:30:20 with trace elements), monopotassium phosphate (300g pack, priced at 9.9 yuan, anything below 5 yuan is counterfeit, no explanation needed), Ogreen controlled-release fertilizer 318S (with an 8-month efficacy, containing nutrients needed by various plants).
Simple fertilizing plan No.1 (without organic fertilizer):
1. For new seedlings in a one-gallon pot, mix 10 grams of Ogreen 318S (two 5-gram scoops) into the medium, which can come into contact with the roots.
2. One week after potting, during the rose growing period, spray the leaves with Huaduo No.1 (can be mixed with carbendazim (Baicun Qing) and Abamectin for both prevention and nutrition, saving time and effort), with a leaf fertilizer dilution ratio of 600-1000 times. This method is suitable for balcony gardeners with few flowers who dislike complicated fertilizing.
Comprehensive nutrient fertilizing plan No.2 (with organic fertilizer):
1. For new seedlings in a one-gallon pot, mix 10 grams (two 5-gram scoops) into the medium, which can come into contact with the roots. At the same time, after the seedlings are fixed in the pot and the roots are covered with the medium, add chicken droppings and earthworm dung.
2. One week after potting, during the rose growing period, alternate weekly leaf sprays with Huaduo No.1, No.2 (suitable for April to October), and monopotassium phosphate (can be mixed with carbendazim (Baicun Qing) and Abamectin for both prevention and nutrition, saving time and effort). The leaf fertilizer dilution ratio is 600-1000 times. This method is suitable for balcony, rooftop, and courtyard potted plants. (For those with ground plantings, you can refer to the second plan).
Based on actual conditions, flower enthusiasts can add their own organic fertilizers such as sheep droppings, cow droppings, pig droppings, peanut bran, mushroom fertilizer, fish intestines, medicinal residue, pond mud, etc.
The above is a comprehensive introduction to what fertilizer to use for roses (two plans), hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to greenery enthusiasts.
