What fertilizer is best for trumpet creeper

Fertilization time of trumpet creeper

Trumpet creeper grows very fast in spring and autumn and has a greater demand for nutrients, so the frequency of fertilization will be correspondingly higher, with liquid fertilizer applied every 15 days.

Before the trumpet creeper blooms, it needs more nutrients. It is best to apply fertilizer to it once, but it needs to be determined according to its growth. If it grows well, no fertilizer is needed. After it blooms, you can also apply phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.

What fertilizer to use for trumpet creeper

Spring is the peak growth season for trumpet creeper. Usually, compound fertilizer needs to be applied once every 15 days. It can be applied directly near the roots of the plant and then watered once to allow it to absorb faster. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in May before flowering to promote faster differentiation of flower buds, so that the flower color will be brighter and the flowering period will be extended.

Fertilization method of trumpet creeper

When planting trumpet creeper, you can apply base fertilizer, and apply some compound fertilizer and compost before it blooms, combined with watering, to make the plant grow vigorously and bloom luxuriantly. Top dressing can be applied in time in summer and autumn, but fertilizing needs to be stopped when the temperature is higher in summer and lower in winter.

Precautions for fertilizing trumpet creeper

The base fertilizer applied to trumpet creeper needs to be fully decomposed, which is beneficial to the growth of the plant. Special attention should be paid in summer and winter because the temperature is very high or very low at this time, so it is best not to apply fertilizer at this time.
