As living standards continue to rise, many people have taken up gardening as a hobby, but to grow flowers and plants well, fertilizing is the most important thing, it is the key to flowers and plants growing into a full pot, especially with the arrival of summer, one careless mistake with fertilizing, and forget about getting it to bloom, even getting through the summer will be difficult.

Today Hua'er will introduce to everyone that in summer, fertilizing when growing flowers should follow a "three-part suite", only then will the flowers and plants grown this way have lush branches and leaves and blooms covering every stem!

For general fertilizing, many gardening friends choose to do it in the morning or evening, because these are the only two time points when they have time, and the temperatures at these two time points are relatively low, making them more suitable for fertilizing, and this is not wrong, but you should know that in summer, the temperature keeps rising, and if you fertilize in the morning, you have to face increasingly higher temperatures, and one misstep will burn the roots, so summer fertilizing is best placed in the evening.

And the "three-part suite" mentioned here for fertilizing means doing well with "watering - fertilizing - watering". On the day of fertilizing, in the morning you should first water the potted plant thoroughly, so the soil softens and the roots are in their best state; then fertilize in the evening or at night. In summer it is best to use diluted liquid fertilizer, which can promote root absorption and reduce damage to the roots; on the second morning, continue to water thoroughly, to flush the fertilizer from the potted plant, doing this will let the plant grow better, with flowers blooming larger and more vividly.

One more point to add:

In summer's high temperatures, plant growth is slower and absorption capacity is lower. If you want it to grow better, with lush branches and leaves and nonstop blooming, then you need to do foliar feeding. For example, gardenia, jasmine, bougainvillea, and others that bloom in summer need sufficient nutrients to support their growth and blooming. You can spray a 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate dilution on the leaves about every 10 days for foliar feeding, which can promote growth, make the leaves more emerald green, and extend the flowering period.

That is all for the introduction to fertilizing flowers in summer. If gardening friends have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about gardening knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
