How much water should I dilute with "Huaduoduo"
Dilute "Huaduoduo" with water at a ratio of 1:1000, and after dilution, spray it on the leaves of the plant. Reasonable spraying can supplement the nutrients needed for plant growth, promoting more vigorous growth. If diluted and watered on the soil surface, it should be done at a ratio of 1:2000. During the peak growing season, plants require a large amount of nutrients, and it can be sprayed once a week. Frequent application of light fertilization can promote vigorous plant growth.
Recently, many friends have asked Lanyao about why their rose flower buds won't open and the small buds have fallen off. Looking at these withered flower buds in the picture, it is really heartbreaking.
The most common reason for roses' flower buds not opening and turning yellow and withering is a lack of fertilizer. You might be as puzzled as this flower enthusiast, wondering how it could be a lack of fertilizer when you use "Huaduoduo" fertilizer every week.
Next, Lanyao will discuss the correct usage of "Huaduoduo".
If you use it incorrectly, you might encounter the same problem as the flower enthusiast mentioned above. Moreover, there is a high risk of fertilizer damage.
Correct Usage of "Huaduoduo" Fertilizer
How should "Huaduoduo" be used? Dilute it with 1000 times water, pour it into the potting soil, or spray it on the leaves. It's that simple! Yes, that's right, it's that simple. However, simplicity should not overlook the details.
Flower enthusiasts usually purchase "Huaduoduo" in pre-packed containers, and the seller typically provides a 1G mini spoon. Yes, that's right, a 1G mini spoon. However, the problem often lies with this spoon.
If one spoon is 1G, then diluting it with 1L of water results in a 1000-fold dilution. As mentioned above, this flower enthusiast uses "Huaduoduo" every week.
But the roses are severely lacking in fertilizer, and the root cause is the insufficient use of long-acting organic fertilizer, and there is also a calculation error in the dilution ratio of "Huaduoduo".
Adding 1G of fertilizer to 10L of water results in a 10,000-fold dilution, which is definitely not enough for roses, which are known as "fertilizer bins".
Many flower enthusiasts have this thought, "I'm afraid of fertilizer damage. The leaves turn yellow every time I fertilize, and I don't know how much to put. I'm scared to use fast-acting fertilizer."
If you are someone who is afraid to use fast-acting fertilizer, Lanyao suggests that you read the following content carefully and then start using fast-acting fertilizer again.
Why does using "Huaduoduo" cause fertilizer damage?
The main problem when using "Huaduoduo" and causing fertilizer damage is the concentration of the dilution.
Previously, Lanyao mentioned that we usually choose a 1G spoon to measure the amount of "Huaduoduo". The root cause of fertilizer damage after fertilizing is in this detail.
A 1G spoon, when measuring water, weighs 1G and has a volume of 1ml. However, when measuring "Huaduoduo", one level spoon is 2G of "Huaduoduo". Therefore, one spoon of "Huaduoduo" mixed with 1L of water results in an actual fertilizer solution concentration of 500-fold.
The normal usage concentration of "Huaduoduo" is 500-1000-fold, which, when used on crops and robust potted plants, will not cause fertilizer damage.
However, pay attention, there's a "but" again. Many of our flower enthusiasts' potted plants are not very robust.
The robustness of the seedlings and their tolerance to fertilizer are directly related. Weak seedlings have poor tolerance to fertilizer, while robust seedlings have good tolerance.
So, using the same 1G spoon and adding 1L of water, some flower enthusiasts' seedlings grow well, while others experience fertilizer damage as soon as they fertilize. The problem lies here. You think you've mixed a 1000-fold concentration, but in reality, it's a 500-fold concentration.
The above sharing of the dilution ratio of "Huaduoduo" and the specific introduction of how much water to dilute with one spoon of "Huaduoduo" is hoped to be liked by everyone!
