How to fertilize mallow

The important period for fertilizing mallow is its flowering period. Its flowering period is relatively long, so it needs sufficient nutrients to maintain it, and the number of flowers it blooms is also relatively large. If the fertilizer supply is insufficient at this time, in addition to causing the flowers to become sparse, it will also cause certain damage to the plant. Fertilization should begin in early May. You can choose fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus, and apply it about once every 15 to 20 days. In June, apply phosphorus fertilizer once or twice a month until all the flowers wither in October. This will increase the number of flowers during the flowering period.

Precautions

It is best if the soil is dry before applying fertilizer. Then you can loosen the soil appropriately before applying fertilizer. This will allow the plants to better absorb the nutrients in the fertilizer.

If the fertilizer concentration is lighter, the fertilization time can be shortened. If it is slightly higher, watering should be done the next day after fertilization to avoid accumulated fertilizer from harming the plants.

If it is cloudy or rainy, you should reduce the amount of fertilization appropriately, or stop fertilizing, because overly wet soil is very detrimental to the growth of plants.

The best time to apply fertilizer is in the morning or evening. Do not apply fertilizer at noon.

When applying fertilizer, try to pour it slowly along the edge of the pot or away from the soil to reduce the damage of the fertilizer to the plants.
