How to fertilize forsythia

Fertilization method

Forsythia requires a relatively small amount of fertilizer, so only a small amount of fertilizer is needed. If too much fertilizer is applied, the Forsythia will have fewer branches and sparse flowers.

Forsythia should be fertilized once every two months, and fertilization should be stopped during the growing and dormant periods of Forsythia.

It can be applied by hole application or spraying. Dig a hole 2 to 3 cm away from the roots of the forsythia, put in organic fertilizer, and cover with soil. Alternatively, dilute the organic fertilizer with water to make liquid fertilizer and spray it directly on the soil surface or the leaves of the plants.

Fertilization type

The amount of fertilizer required by Winter Jasmine is not large, but it cannot grow without fertilizer. It is best to use organic compound fertilizer. Organic fertilizer contains a large amount of humic acid and organic matter, which can provide nutrients for the growth of forsythia for a long time. It can make the stems and branches of forsythia thick, the leaves thick, the leaves green and shiny, and it can bloom early and have a long flowering period.

Before the forsythia blooms, appropriately increasing the application rate of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can promote the differentiation of flower buds and make the flowers more numerous and colorful when they bloom. Stop fertilizing during flowering, cut off the dead branches in time after flowering, and apply thin liquid fertilizer.

This is the end of the discussion on the fertilization method of Forsythia. I hope that everyone will apply fertilizer scientifically according to the growth conditions of the plants during the maintenance of flowers.
