How to water and fertilize fuchsia

1. Fertilization method

Fuchsia likes fertilizer. After the plant grows in spring, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied once every half month to promote the growth of branches and leaves. By May, the plant begins to enter a vigorous period of growth and flowering. At this time, a combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied once every half month to encourage the plant to grow more side branches and bloom continuously. No fertilizer is needed in the hot summer. In September, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied twice and nitrogen fertilizers can be stopped. Fertilization should be stopped in winter.

It should also be noted that the soil in the pot must be dry before fertilizing. You can spray water once after fertilizing to prevent the leaves from getting sticky and rotting. At the same time, try to avoid applying only nitrogen fertilizer. You can apply only nitrogen fertilizer when the plant is obviously lacking in fertilizer and the leaves are yellow and thin.

2. Watering method

Fuchsia likes moist soil environment and is not drought-tolerant. When watering, you should follow the principle of "water when the soil is dry and water when it is wet". Water as soon as the soil is dry and water thoroughly.

When the weather is dry in spring, you can spray water on the branches and leaves one or two times a day to avoid excessive watering and waterlogging in the pot soil. In summer, the plants should be placed under a shade, and water should be sprayed on the leaf surface or on the ground frequently to enhance ventilation. In winter, watering needs to be strictly controlled to prevent the soil in the pot from being too wet. The soil should be loosened and ventilated in time after each fertilization and watering.

In daily maintenance, water the leaves and near the flower pot in the morning and evening; during the high temperature in the afternoon, do not spray water directly on the leaves, but spray more water near the flower pot. During the rainy season in the south, it needs to be placed indoors to prevent the roots from rotting and dying.
