Flowers & Gardening 0 views
This is a plant that quite likes fertilizer, so this is a fairly important aspect of its care. Depending on the stage, we can apply some liquid fertilizers, such as (FeSO4) solution, (KH2PO4) solution, etc., and we can also use organic ones, such as human or other animal waste, etc. If you are so inclined, you can also use fertilizer we make ourselves: put rice washing water and rotten tomatoes and such into the same container, and once they have fully fermented, you can use it!

1. Does it have a large demand for fertilizer

Overall, its demand for fertilizer is fairly large. As we said above, it is a flower that likes fertilizer. This is especially true at specific stages, such as when it is growing fast, when it is blooming, and so on.

2. What fertilizer to apply at specific stages

(1) First let's talk about base fertilizer, that is, the fertilizer mixed into the soil when planting. At this time you can add organic fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, or some animal manure, etc.

(2) Next is the fertilizing method during its growth period. The frequency is about once every ten days or so, and a liquid fertilizer is fine. Generally, we use a 10 to 15 percent cake fertilizer water. In addition, to prevent the soil from tending to become alkaline, some ferrous sulfate solution can be added.

(3) Now let's talk about the bud stage. At this stage, one to two additional fertilizer applications are needed. The type used can be the (KH2PO4) solution mentioned above. Doing this can make the flowers bloom more beautifully and the floral fragrance more rich. However, note that after the buds split open, there is no need to continue applying it. Otherwise, it may cause the flowers to drop.

3. How to make fertilizer yourself

(1) First, you can put rice washing water and rotten tomatoes and such into the same container. After they have fully fermented, they can be used as fertilizer. This kind of fertilizer can make the plant have lush branches and leaves.

(2) You can also apply fertilizer made by fermenting fruit peels. There are many kinds of fruit peels to choose from, such as banana peels, watermelon rinds, and so on.
