When to fertilize potted flowers

1. When to apply fertilizer

When fertilizing potted flowers, we usually choose the time when they are growing vigorously. Usually, spring and autumn are the growing seasons for flowers, so more nutrients may be needed at this time. The weather in summer is very hot, and you can apply fertilizer appropriately, but the concentration of the fertilizer must be low. It is best to fertilize flowers in the evening in summer, and avoid fertilizing them when the sun is strong, as this can easily burn the roots. In winter, if the potted plants stop growing, you should stop fertilizing.

2. Fertilization principles

When fertilizing flowers, you should apply small amounts and multiple times, and avoid using inorganic fertilizers. The fertilizer should not be applied too close to the roots of the plant, and it should be fully decomposed before use. Generally speaking, when fertilizing, do not splash fertilizer onto the leaves of flowers, as it may burn the leaves.

3. Notes

1. For plants that have just been potted, fertilization is generally not needed. Also, when the pot has just been changed, the plant needs some time to recover before fertilization can be carried out.

2. The amount of fertilizer applied each time must be small, and even during the growing period, a small amount of fertilizer should be applied. If too much fertilizer is applied, the roots of the plant will not be able to absorb it, and the roots of the plant will be burned over time.
