How to fertilize freesia

top dressing

The bulb of this plant is not large and can not store much water and nutrients, so when the plant grows 2 to 4 leaves, it is necessary to apply top dressing. Liquid fertilizer is mainly used for top dressing.

base fertilizer

Before planting, you can bury some granular fertilizer in the soil. This will increase the nutrients, looseness and air permeability of the soil. Most importantly, it will make the plants grow stronger.

Soil requirements

After talking about fertilization, let’s also learn about the soil for planting it. It has relatively high requirements for the soil. In addition to being loose and breathable, it must also have sufficient nutrients, which is very beneficial for planting and future growth.

Precautions

The concentration of fertilizer should not be too high; it is better to be light rather than heavy, and you can apply fertilizer in small amounts frequently.

When applying liquid fertilizer, try to apply it along the edge of the pot. Do not pour it directly near the roots, as this will cause fertilizer damage and impair the healthy growth of the plant.

In rainy weather, control fertilization or stop fertilizing to prevent the soil from being too moist and causing root rot of the plants.

In order to keep the soil fertile, the soil should be changed once a year. This is to allow the plants to grow better and bloom better. After changing the soil, add an appropriate amount of granular fertilizer to the soil. Try not to use liquid fertilizer at this time.
