Feeding for Forsythia should be based on the season. If it is spring and autumn, the peak growth season, the demand for fertilizer is large, and compound fertilizer should be applied every 15 to 20 days to promote more vigorous growth. If it is winter, just apply decomposed cake fertilizer to help it survive the winter. Fertilizer treatment should be stopped in summer to avoid root burning. In addition, it is best to dilute the fertilizer before applying each time, so that it can be absorbed well and avoid fertilizer damage.

1. How to fertilize Forsythia

1. Fertilization in spring and autumn: Spring and autumn are the peak growth seasons for Forsythia. In these two seasons, its demand for fertilizers is relatively high, so it must be carried out in time. Just fertilize. Generally, compound fertilizer should be applied every 15 to 20 days to promote vigorous plant growth, which may also promote the formation and growth of flower buds.

2. Fertilization in winter: Although the temperature in winter is relatively low and the growth rate is slow, appropriate amount of fertilizer must be applied. Fertilization at this time is mainly to apply decomposed cake fertilizer, which should be combined with weeding and soil loosening. This can help it survive the winter and promote better and more flowering in the coming year.

2. Precautions for fertilizing Forsythia h2>

The temperature in summer is relatively high, so fertilizer treatment needs to be stopped and no further application is allowed. It is difficult for plants to absorb fertilizer under high temperature conditions. If fertilizer is applied at this time, it is easy to burn the roots and hinder growth. In addition, when fertilizing in the other three seasons, it is best to dilute it before applying, otherwise it will easily burn the plants.

3. Do you need to fertilize when transplanting seedlings?

Do not fertilize when transplanting forsythia seedlings. Because the plants have just been planted and are in a new environment and have not yet resumed growth, fertilizing at this time can easily cause damage to the root system. If you want to fertilize, you should wait until the seedlings resume growth, at least a week later. When applying fertilizer, be sure to dilute it before applying it so that the seedlings can absorb it faster and promote rooting.
