How many months is the best time to fertilize flowers?

1. Which months

For most flowers that bloom from March to September, the time for fertilizing is mainly from February to April in spring and from September to October in autumn. These two seasons are in the growth stage and have a greater demand for fertilizer. Applying more fertilizer will help growth. In the months before and after the flowering period, you can ensure the quality and quantity of flowers, and replenish the consumed nutrients. Be careful not to apply fertilizer during the flowering period to prevent the consequences of bud drop. Growth stagnates during winter dormancy, so it is not suitable for fertilization. The temperature in summer is very high, so it is not suitable to apply fertilizer at this time. You can wait until it cools down before applying fertilizer.

For flowers that bloom in winter, such as anthurium, clivia, orchid, daffodil, Christmas cactus, etc., these flowers do not stop growing in winter and need to be fertilized normally during those winter months.

2. Precautions

In addition to ensuring the right months for fertilization, you should also pay attention to the frequency of fertilization and the time of fertilization within a day. Fertilize according to growth needs, and the intervals should not be too short to prevent root burn. It is best to apply fertilizer around 10 am during the day, and water can be applied in the afternoon to promote fertilizer absorption.
