Only with the correct water-soluble fertilizer ratio will your plants grow fast and bloom abundantly

Shows you step by step how to grow flowers

How should you mix water-soluble fertilizer with water for growing flowers? Xiao Qi is here to give a general explanation.

Generally, the water-soluble fertilizers we buy have a certain mixing ratio on their packaging. The ratio stated on their packaging is generally 1:500-800 for watering, and about 1:1000 for spraying. If this fertilizer is produced by a legitimate manufacturer or is imported fertilizer, following its ratio for spraying or watering is best.

But some fertilizers are repackaged by others, and their active ingredient ratios are not very standard. If you follow their ratio, you might burn the flower's roots. This is because flower roots are very sensitive to fertilizer. If you use too little fertilizer or a normal ratio, they can absorb it, but if you use too much, their roots will immediately burn, and this will show on the leaves.

So no matter what fertilizer we buy, when mixing it we must dilute it to a greater ratio than the maximum stated in its instructions. For example, if the ratio on the packaging is 1:500 to 1000, when you mix it with water for watering, directly mix it at more than 1000 times. Watering this way will only benefit the flowers and will not burn the roots.

When fertilizing flowers, our potting soil itself contains nutrients. It is just that the nutrient content in the potting soil is low, so the plant grows slowly. After we water with fertilizer, it also goes into the soil, and the plant absorbs it from the soil. As long as you fertilize regularly with a slightly smaller ratio, its roots will absorb enough. The plant will grow very well. What does this specifically mean? It means that when we fertilize, we do not wait until the flower is completely deficient in fertilizer and there is not a bit of nutrition left in the potting soil before fertilizing. Instead, fertilizing regularly and in fixed amounts is good for the flowers. If there is absolutely no nutrition left in the potting soil, then supplementing at that point through fertilizer will have very little effect. Only when the soil still contains nutrients and you then fertilize will it grow especially fast and bloom abundantly.
