How to fertilize blue chrysanthemum

base fertilizer

When talking about base fertilizer, let’s talk about the soil first. Soil with sufficient nutrients will also reduce the difficulty of plant maintenance. You can use 5% vermiculite, 10% perlite, and 85% peat soil, but don’t choose peat soil that is too fine. Such soil preparation is very suitable for planting them. Add some fertilizer before planting to ensure that the seedlings grow stronger.

Winter fertilization

Before the cold season arrives, the plant's ability to resist cold can be improved, allowing it to easily survive the winter. After this fertilization, no more fertilization will be allowed until the spring of the following year.

Spring fertilization

The best time to apply fertilizer for the first time of the year is before Qingming Festival. Providing sufficient fertilizer at this time will allow it to grow healthily in the spring.

Daily fertilization

Although its flowering period is long, it does not require excessive fertilization. It is sufficient to ensure that the soil has sufficient nutrients before planting.

Precautions

If it is a newly purchased plant, do not apply fertilizer for the time being. Wait until it has fully recovered its growth, then apply appropriate fertilizer. Otherwise, it will cause fertilizer damage and affect the growth of the plant.

Water sufficiently after fertilizing before winter.

Do not apply fertilizer on rainy days to prevent the soil from becoming too wet and affecting the health of the plant roots.

When applying fertilizer, try to do it between 8 and 9 in the morning or around 4 in the afternoon.

The temperature of the diluted fertilizer should be close to the temperature inside the soil, otherwise it will easily cause adverse reactions in plants.
