How to fertilize indoor flowers in winter

Do not fertilize dormant flowers

When growing flowers indoors, some flowers will go dormant in winter and generally require top dressing.

There are still many plants that are dormant in winter, such as pomegranate, cactus, crabapple, hydrangea, Milan, etc., all of which will be dormant in winter. Do not apply fertilizer at this time. However, in winter, you can repot these plants and apply enough base fertilizer at once, so that they will bloom better next year.

Methods of fertilizing indoor flowers in winter

Foliage Flowers

In winter, you can apply some compound fertilizer and ferrous sulfate to foliage flowers. It is applicable to common indoor foliage flowers such as Monstera, Asparagus fern, etc. Satisfy the requirements of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, such as iron

Flower viewing

In winter, some flowering plants need to be fertilized, because some flowers are still blooming at this time, such as cyclamen, camellia, plum blossom, cineraria, etc.

At this time, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are generally used for flowers to promote smoother blooming and larger and more colorful flowers. Using potassium fertilizer can also improve the cold resistance of flowers.

In addition, in winter, there are fruit-viewing potted plants, and attention should be paid to increasing the application of phosphorus fertilizers, such as kumquat, bergamot, etc. Because they consume a lot of nutrients when bearing fruit, they need to maintain nutrients during the winter in order to bloom and bear fruit next year. But be careful not to apply too much fertilizer at this time.
