How to choose flower fertilizer? Pay attention to these details when purchasing

Flower production cannot do without fertilizer, and all growers will face the problem of buying fertilizer. Faced with fertilizer products of various brands and types available on the market, how can you choose the one that suits you best?

First, price alone should not be the only factor when buying fertilizer. Every grower hopes to choose the most economical and effective fertilizer, but deciding a purchase purely on price is not sensible and will affect the fertilizer's ability to deliver its best effect in production.

When purchasing, growers must carefully read the instructions on the outer packaging of the fertilizer, seriously study the composition of the product ingredients, and ultimately make a choice based on their own needs and financial capacity.

At present, the more popular way of using fertilizer internationally is 75% controlled-release fertilizer plus 25% water-soluble fertilizer, and using them in this ratio is the most economical and effective. In most people's minds, controlled-release fertilizer is expensive and will increase costs when used, but this is actually not the case. Water-soluble fertilizer is wasted more during use, and the labor cost is relatively high. Controlled-release fertilizer is a coated fertilizer that releases according to plant needs, which can reduce fertilizer waste to a minimum, has relatively high use efficiency, and can reduce labor, so in the final calculation the cost will actually be lower. In addition, when choosing controlled-release fertilizer, you should also pay attention to some explanations provided by suppliers, such as differences in ingredients between different brands. Some brands of fertilizer have certain patented technologies that can promote plant absorption of nutrients, and all this information should provide a basis for selection.

Second, when choosing a fertilizer supplier, pay attention to its after-sales service. Some suppliers only sell products and provide no after-sales service, while others provide supporting services and will offer a complete fertilization plan according to the types of products the grower produces. Plants use different fertilizers at each growth stage. For example, at the seedling stage, a fertilizer with high nitrogen, low phosphorus and low potassium should be chosen, while when forcing flowers, a fertilizer with low nitrogen, high phosphorus and medium potassium should be used. For some growers, because they have not been engaged in production for long and are not experienced enough, and are not familiar enough with the details of fertilizer use, the thoughtful service provided by fertilizer suppliers becomes even more important.
