Fertilize according to plant growth

Fertilize according to the season

Spring and summer are the peak periods of plant growth. Plants grow rapidly during this period and have greater demand for nutrients. Nitrogen fertilizers should be applied. The main "three elements" fertilizer; a small amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can be applied in autumn to improve the plant's ability to withstand cold and overwintering; in winter, when flowers enter the dormant period, a small amount of fertilizer can be applied to meet growth needs.

Fertilize according to the growth of the plant

Strong plants grow quickly and require more nutrients, so they need to be fertilized frequently; diseased plants grow slowly and require less fertilizer, so they can apply less or no fertilizer. Fertilize.

Fertilize according to the plant growth period

Plants should be fertilized with fertilizers based on phosphorus and potassium during the flower bud stage, which can promote flower bud differentiation and make the plant bloom more. It is not advisable to fertilize when the plant is blooming, otherwise it will shorten the flowering period. Fertilizing when the plant is setting fruit but the fruit is not firmly set will cause fruit drop, so it is advisable to fertilize the plant. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer when the fruit is firmly established, especially during the fruit expansion period, to promote fruit growth.

Fertilize according to plant type

Alkaline fertilizers are prohibited for some plants, such as azaleas and gardenias; flowers that need to be pruned every year should appropriately increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Promote the germination of new branches; nitrogen fertilizer is suitable for flowers mainly for foliage; phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are suitable for fragrant flowers during the flowering period; fruit-bearing flowers should be fertilized with sufficient fertilizer during the fruiting period to increase the number of fruits.
