How to fertilize flowers properly at home

How to fertilize flowers that have just been bought and are about to be transplanted

If you have just bought a small potted plant from the market and want to transplant it, you should not apply fertilizer immediately. Not only will it not promote the growth of the plant, it will also damage the roots and stems. Therefore, for newly purchased and transplanted potted plants, it is sufficient to apply one-quarter to one-fifth of organic fertilizer to the bottom of the pot.

Fertilization tips in different seasons

spring

The temperature rises in spring and all things come back to life. It is the season for flowers to grow, and nutrients must be supplied in time. At this time, you need to loosen the soil in the flowerpot appropriately and apply a certain amount of flower fertilizer, and be sure to make it rich in organic matter. It is best to bury it in the soil at a depth of less than 2cm, and then water it. Repeat this operation one month later.

summer

The temperature is high in summer and flowers grow very fast. At this time, high-nitrogen fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer. The fertilization method is different from that in spring, and the nitrogen fertilizer needs to be dissolved in water. When applying fertilizer in summer, remember to apply small amounts and multiple times.

autumn

Fertilizing in autumn is to enhance the resistance of flowers before the arrival of cold winter, so that they can absorb enough nutrients and prevent frost damage. Except that the fertilizer used is high-potassium fertilizer, the operation is the same as summer fertilization, which is small amounts and multiple times.

winter

Low-nitrogen fertilizer is mainly used in winter. Except for shade-loving plants grown indoors, other flowers do not need to be fertilized.

Precautions for fertilizing flowers at home

Fertilizer should not be applied on the soil surface to avoid causing root curling.

Foliar fertilizer can be used as daily topdressing.
