Can plants be fertilized in winter? (Pothos, Chlorophytum... 5 common flower fertilization methods)

1. Can I apply fertilizer?

Whether plants need to be fertilized in winter depends on different plants. It does not mean that they do not need to be fertilized as misunderstood. For example, some plants that bloom in winter consume nutrients when their flowers open, and they also need nutrients to grow, so they still need to add nutrients regularly in winter. For some plants whose leaves remain green in winter, you can also apply some compound fertilizers to ensure the ornamental value of the leaves. However, for plants that have entered a dormant or semi-dormant period in winter, their growth activities have basically stagnated and they no longer need to be fertilized.

2. Common flower fertilization methods

In winter, the growth cycle of ornamental leaves such as green ivy and spider plants can be extended, and fertilizer can be applied once a month or a month and a half to meet their growth needs. However, plants that bloom in winter, such as camellia and plum blossoms, still need to be applied regularly to ensure that the flowers bloom. The crabapple flowers have entered a dormant period in winter and no longer need nutrients. You can wait until the spring of the next year to apply nutrients.
