What fertilizer is suitable for fuchsia

1. What kind of fertilizer is suitable for it

When fertilizing fuchsia, the fertilizer needed in each period is different. Because it grows fast and blooms many times, you can apply some thin cake fertilizer to it during the growing season, and the best time is once every 10 days. When it comes to the flowering period, you should apply some liquid fertilizer high in phosphorus and potassium content.

2. Fertilization method

1. Fertilization time: It grows fastest in spring, so it should be watered 1 to 2 times during the flowering period. At this time, it is better to keep the soil in the pot moist but not too dry. Then when loosening the soil, apply a little thin cake fertilizer water, and then reduce the amount of fertilizer in summer. You can continue to fertilize it in autumn.

2. Amount of fertilizer: During the flowering period, you should fertilize it more often because it needs more nutrients at this time. If it is not applied in time, it will affect its flowering or even prevent it from flowering. In summer, you should reduce the amount of fertilizer because it is in a semi-dormant period and requires very little fertilizer. If you continue to apply fertilizer, it will burn its roots. In autumn and winter, you can increase the amount of fertilizer so that it can continue to bloom.

3. Maintenance during fertilization: When fertilizing it, you should also pay attention to its leaves. From June to July every year, you should cut off its leaves to let it enter a dormant period so that it can safely survive the summer. Then in the fall, when you repot, you need to shorten those long branches to allow new branches to grow.
