Avoid these periods when fertilizing flowers, otherwise you won't even know the flowers died

Fertilizing is also a skill in plant care, and many flower lovers don't know how to fertilize their flowers at the right time. Today, let's talk about which periods are not suitable for fertilizing flowers.

Newly planted plants

For newly planted plants, at this time they have not yet fully adapted to the environment, and they have many wounds. If you fertilize them hastily, it will irritate them, their wounds will not heal, and rot will occur.

Flowering period

When the plant is flowering, you cannot fertilize it. This easily causes its buds and already opened flowers to drop, resulting in a situation where only branches and leaves grow.

Dormant period

After the flower enters the dormant period, its growth will stop or become slow. If you fertilize it at this time, the plant will start growing again, thereby consuming too many nutrients and affecting its flowering the following year.

High temperature and blazing sun

In summer, along with high temperatures come the blazing sun, the air becomes dry, and the rate of transpiration is also very fast. If you fertilize it, the plant's internal physiological system will become disordered, resulting in yellowing and dropping of branches and leaves, and the flowers will also drop.

At noon under high temperature and blazing sun, be sure not to fertilize. If you want to fertilize, choose the morning or the afternoon after the high temperature has passed.

Weak and diseased plants

When a plant is weak and diseased, its branches are correspondingly thin and weak, photosynthesis will become worse, and metabolism is also very slow. After fertilizing, its plant cannot absorb it, and fertilizer damage is very likely to occur.

Problems with the roots

After problems occur with the plant's roots, you must stop fertilizing. If you continue to fertilize it, its roots cannot absorb it, and instead it will create a burden and affect the plant's growth.

When it comes to fertilizing, you also need to master the amount and timing. A slight mistake can very likely harm the flowers you are growing. How do you fertilize the flowers in your home? Leave a comment and share.
