Potassium carbonate as fertilizer

Potassium carbonate can be used as fertilizer. It is the main raw material of wood ash and is a typical potassium fertilizer. It can promote the growth of plant stems and roots, enhance the ability of crops to resist drought, cold, diseases and pests, and has many promoting effects on plant growth.

Potassium carbonate is suitable for use as flower fertilizer for most flowers, such as camellia, geranium, anthurium, Christmas cactus, jasmine, kalanchoe, rose, gardenia, amaryllis, clivia, white palm, etc.

How to make potassium carbonate fertilizer

When using potassium carbonate as fertilizer for flowers, it needs to be diluted 500-1000 times with water before use, or it can be applied directly as foliar fertilizer. The frequency of use should not be too high, 1-2 times a month is sufficient.

Key points for using potassium carbonate fertilizer

1. If potassium carbonate is used as a fertilizer, the dosage should not be too concentrated. It must be diluted with water before use. Just follow the principle of "applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently". Fertilizers with too high a concentration can easily cause fertilizer damage and affect the normal growth of the plants.

2. Potassium carbonate is only rich in carbon and potassium elements, and cannot be used alone for plants. At the same time, organic fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers, phosphorus fertilizers and other fertilizers should be used reasonably to promote the overall growth of plants.
