The correct way to apply concentrated fertilizer when growing flowers

I don’t know what you, a flower lover, think about the application of concentrated fertilizer. Many people and the editor said that in order to make flowers grow more vigorously, more concentrated fertilizer should be applied. So is this view really correct? The editor below will make a judgment for you.

Consequences of applying concentrated fertilizer when growing flowers

Excessive concentration of liquid fertilizer will often cause the branches and leaves of the flowers to wither and turn yellow, and in severe cases will lead to the death of the flowers. Therefore, you still need to be extra careful when using concentrated fertilizers when growing flowers. Under normal circumstances, the concentration of plant root hair cell fluid is greater than the concentration of the soil solution. Because the two have different osmotic pressures, the soil solution continues to penetrate into the plant root hairs, so the root hairs can absorb water and nutrients from the soil fluid. But once Applying concentrated fertilizer will cause the concentration in the soil liquid to be greater than that of plant root hair cells. At this time, reverse osmosis will occur. The cell liquid will penetrate into the soil solution, causing the water in the cells to lose, causing plasmolysis, and the plant to wither and die. A similar phenomenon will occur when using retting liquid fertilizer.

The correct way to apply concentrated fertilizer when growing flowers

First of all, the concentration of chemical fertilizers applied to potted flowers should not be too high and should be controlled at around 0.1%. When applying retting liquid fertilizer, it is more reasonable to dilute the concentration 10-15 times before use.
