The main purpose of top dressing at this time is to supplement the nutrients it needs to bloom, so that it can bloom better. Therefore, flower fertilizers should be mainly phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. It is best to choose liquid fertilizer or foliar fertilizer because the nutrients in them are easily absorbed and utilized by the plants.
