What fertilizer to use for carnations

1. Its demand for fertilizer

Generally speaking, it is a species that prefers fertilizer. In some periods, such as when the growth rate is slow, the nutrients it has accumulated are sufficient, so there is no need for us to fertilize. However, when it is growing vigorously, we need to apply some nutrients to help it grow and develop better. For example, when it blooms. Below, we will mainly introduce its fertilization methods according to the period.

2. Specific methods

(1) When it is growing rapidly, specifically from March to April, and from September to October, we need to increase the amount and frequency of fertilizer application. Generally, we choose to apply fertilizer once every other week.

(2) During other periods, especially winter, when growth is almost stagnant, there is no need to apply too much fertilizer. At this time, it is okay not to apply it.

(3) Here we will mainly introduce the methods after the flower buds are formed. It is best to apply some liquid fertilizer rich in P and K and spray it on the surface of the leaves.

3. What fertilizer to use

We need to determine what fertilizer to apply to it based on its own habits. Because it is a variety with a shallow root system, we cannot apply flower fertilizer with too high a concentration. Specifically, diluted manure water or rapeseed cake are good choices. In addition, liquid fertilizer water containing various nutrients is also acceptable.

4. Notes

(1) The most important issue is concentration. It has been mentioned above, and I would like to emphasize it again: it must not be too strong.

(2) In winter, remember not to apply too much fertilizer, and even control the amount of water.
