How to water and fertilize baby's breath

spring

As all things revive in spring, the temperature has gradually risen, and baby's breath has gradually entered the period of flower bud differentiation and flowering. At this time, it has great requirements for fertilizer and water, and fertilizer and water management should be circulated in an orderly manner. After entering the fruiting period, stop supplying fertilizer.

summer

In the summer from June to August, heavy fertilizer and water should be applied. At the same time, the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer should be reduced, the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be increased, and more quick-acting fertilizers such as calcium nitrate and wood ash should be applied. About 45 days before the baby's breath blooms, the use of nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped, and water should be controlled and foliar fertilization should be done with potassium dihydrogen phosphate, probably once a week. When cultivating baby's breath, it should be strictly avoided from rain, and it should not be watered too wet. The drainage inside and outside the shed should be unobstructed during the rainy season.

autumn

After sowing and potting for a period of time, it is necessary to manage the fertilizer and water well. As in summer, when watering, please note that the intervals should be shorter on sunny days or when the temperature is high, and longer intervals or no watering at all on rainy days or when the temperature is low.

winter

Although the temperature is low in winter, baby's breath will continue to grow. The low temperature will of course slow down its growth rate. At this time, baby's breath does not require much fertilizer and water, but it is necessary to control fertilizer and water. The interval period of fertilizer and water management, that is, the interval period between fertilization and watering, is about 4 to 7 days. Watering should also be arranged as much as possible during sunny noon when the temperature is higher.

This is all I have to say about how to water and fertilize baby’s breath in all four seasons.
