This article is one of Lanyao's original theories

Excerpt from the series "Three-Step Method for Growing Roses"

Yesterday Lanyao shared the methods for using several common solid organic fertilizers, and today Lanyao will continue to share some knowledge about organic liquid fertilizers.

When it comes to organic liquid fertilizers, the one everyone is most familiar with should be soybean cake fertilizer water. This is because most articles teaching flower-growing techniques mention cake fertilizer water.

So what is cake fertilizer water?

Soybean cake fertilizer water is fertilizer water made by fermenting soybean cake with water. Soybean cake is soybean residue, and it can also be replaced with the residue cakes left after pressing oil from sesame, rapeseed, and so on.

Soybean cake, rapeseed cake, sesame residue cake, and the like, after being fermented with water, are all very good liquid organic fertilizers.

What are the main nutrients in soybean cake fertilizer water?

Whether it is soybean cake or rapeseed cake, after fermentation, the fertilizer water obtained contains a large amount of nitrogen fertilizer. In other words, cake fertilizer water has nitrogen fertilizer as its main nutrient element.

Of course, it also contains phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, as well as some trace elements, but their content is relatively low, and it is mainly nitrogen fertilizer. It is suitable for use on flower seedlings.

Now that we understand cake fertilizer water, let us look at the characteristics of fish intestine fertilizer water.

What is fish intestine fertilizer water?

Fish intestine fertilizer water is made by fermenting fish intestines, fish scales, fish gills, and the water used to wash fish.

What are the main nutrients in fish intestine fertilizer water?

Fish intestine fertilizer water contains large amounts of nutrient elements such as phosphorus and potassium. In other words, fish intestine fertilizer is an organic fertilizer mainly based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Why should roses use fish intestine fertilizer water instead of cake fertilizer water?

Our roses bloom abundantly and have a long flowering period, and during the entire growing season, they bloom almost every month. When nutrients are sufficient, new shoots will produce flowers as soon as they grow.

Based on this growth and flowering characteristic of roses, during the growing period roses need to consume large amounts of phosphorus and potassium elements. Because they bloom many times and in large quantities, only when phosphorus and potassium fertilizers are sufficient can roses bud flower buds well.

So we use fish intestine water rich in phosphorus and potassium elements to topdress roses.

When Lanyao says here that fish intestine fertilizer water is rich in phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, it is relative to cake fertilizer water. Fish intestine fertilizer water has a high content of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer elements. It does not mean that fish intestine fertilizer water contains no nitrogen fertilizer.

In fact, the greatest advantage of organic fertilizers is that the nutrient elements they contain are rich and comprehensive, and the only difference is in the proportions.

Seeing Lanyao say that fish intestine fertilizer water is so good for roses, do you also want to use it? If you want to learn how to make fish intestine fertilizer water yourself, please continue to follow tomorrow's article.
