How to fertilize gerbera

1. Frequency and timing of fertilization

Gerbera prefers more abundant fertilizer, so it has particularly high requirements for the amount of fertilizer. Generally, we will apply nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to it. Generally, it prefers potassium fertilizer, so it should be applied once every 5 to 6 days, or once every ten days. However, fertilizing also depends on the right time. Generally, you must pay attention when the temperature is particularly high. At this time, it is in a dormant state, so fertilizer must not be applied at this time, otherwise it will have the opposite effect. In addition, the temperature is generally lower in winter, but if the temperature is too low, it will easily go dormant, so you should stop fertilizing at this time. You can fertilize normally at other times.

2. Tips for fertilizing

Before we fertilize it, we can loosen the soil appropriately. In this way, when we fertilize it, its roots can absorb it more easily, so that it can grow better. Also, when applying fertilizer, be careful not to sprinkle the fertilizer on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will be easily burned, so be sure to remember this when applying fertilizer.

3. What kind of fertilizer is suitable

When fertilizing gerbera, you need to pay attention to the fact that it prefers a more balanced nutrition. This kind of fertilizer can provide it with the nutrients it needs for growth more efficiently, and it can also resist diseases well, improve its photosynthetic efficiency, and make its flowers more beautiful and very nice to appreciate. Therefore, you must also pay attention when choosing fertilizers. Otherwise, if it is not suitable, the gerbera will not be able to grow well, which will have the opposite effect. Therefore, it is also very important to choose suitable fertilizers.
