3. Fertilization precautions

It is generally not necessary to fertilize when rhododendrons are blooming. Fertilizer is required before flowering. If the amount of fertilization is not controlled during the flowering period, the viewing period will be shortened and buds will drop. Do not spray water on the flowers when they are blooming, as this may cause the flowers to wither early. In addition, you can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate to fertilize rhododendrons, but you should choose the right time and do not use it during strong light or rainy seasons.

1. What fertilizer to apply

It is best not to fertilize rhododendrons during the flowering period, because if the control is not good, the flowering time will be shortened and the buds may drop. Before it blooms, you need to apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, and the nutrients before flowering are enough for the plant to bloom, so try not to fertilize during the flowering period. However, nutrients should be replenished as soon as possible after flowering.

Not only do you not fertilize the plants during the flowering period, but you also do not spray water on the flowers, which will also cause the flowers to wither. Sometimes, the plant will grow vigorously and may produce many flower buds. The weak flower buds can be pruned appropriately.

2. Can I spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate

You can spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate on rhododendrons, which can promote better flowering, help the branches grow robustly, and extend the flowering period to a certain extent. You should pay attention when using it. It is better to use it when you are pregnant, but do not use it on rainy days or when the sun is strong. The time of use can be selected before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

3. Fertilization precautions

When fertilizing rhododendrons, be sure not to use thick fertilizers, but rather thin fertilizers. Moreover, the amount of fertilizer should not be too large. Whether it is concentrated fertilizer or a large amount, it will burn the plant roots.
