Many people envy the experts who grow flowers with lush branches and leaves and clusters of blossoms, while looking at their own flowers that are skinny as bones with only scattered blooms. Why is it that we're all growing flowers, yet there's such a big difference? Actually, the main reason is that they fertilize well. Want to know how to fertilize flowers? Today Flower Friend has prepared four fertilizing methods for flowers, so that flower lovers can also grow stunningly beautiful flowers.

Fertilizing: Flower fertilizing methods and the nine don'ts of fertilizing

I. Clivia (Clivia miniata)

During the growing season, apply liquid fertilizer once every half month. In midsummer when the weather is hot, fertilizing can easily cause root rot, so stop fertilizing. But pay attention to ventilation. Applying phosphorus fertilizer in the early flowering stage can promote abundant and colorful blooms.

Tips for fertilizing Clivia:

In spring and winter, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as fish meal, bone meal, sesame cake, etc. In autumn, apply liquid made from fermented animal hair, horns, hooves, or soybean cake soaked in water, diluted 30-40 times, which can promote leaf growth.

II. Money Tree (Pachira aquatica)

The Money Tree grows vigorously and rapidly, requiring relatively sufficient fertilizer. After potting and sprouting, spray a liquid fertilizer containing the three elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) once a week, and apply organic fertilizer or phosphorus-potassium fertilizer to the soil once a month.

Precautions for fertilizing Money Tree:

During the peak growing season, avoid applying only nitrogen fertilizer to prevent leggy growth. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in a balanced way to promote robust plants, keep leaves emerald green, and enhance the ornamental effect.

III. Chinese Rose (Rosa chinensis)

Chinese Roses love fertilizer. Potted Chinese Roses should be fertilized frequently. During the growing season, water with dilute fertilizer water once every ten days. No matter which fertilizer is used, remember not to overdo it to prevent fertilizer damage that harms the seedlings. However, do not fertilize during the winter dormant period. Chinese Roses love fertilizer. The base fertilizer should mainly be slow-release organic fertilizer, such as decomposed cow manure, chicken manure, soybean cake, oil residue, etc.

Tips for fertilizing Chinese Roses:

1. Add liquid fertilizer water once every half month to keep leaves thick, dark green, and glossy.

2. Before sprouting in early spring, apply a relatively concentrated liquid fertilizer once. Avoid fertilizing during the flowering period. After flowers fade in June, apply liquid fertilizer once more. In September, when the fourth or fifth axillary buds are about to sprout, apply a medium-strength liquid fertilizer once more. In December during the dormant period, apply decomposed organic fertilizer to overwinter.

3. In winter cultivation, apply human feces and urine or spread decomposed organic fertilizer, then turn it into the soil. During the growing season, fertilize frequently. After flowers fade, apply quick-acting fertilizer as a top dressing 1-2 times. In high temperature and drought, apply thin fertilizer.

IV. Azalea (Rhododendron)

1. At the end of winter and beginning of spring each year, it is best to apply some organic fertilizer as base fertilizer to the azalea garden.

2. After azaleas bloom in April-May, since the plants consume a large amount of nutrients during the flowering period, as leaf buds sprout and new shoots grow, apply fertilizer once every 15 days or so.

3. After the dog days begin, most branch tips have stopped growing. This is the high-temperature season, and physiological activity weakens, so top dressing can be stopped.

4. After autumn, the climate gradually becomes cooler, and there are intermittent autumn rains. The temperature and humidity are suitable for azalea growth. At this time, the last top dressing can be applied. After winter begins, fertilizing is generally not advisable.

Fertilizing: Different types of flowers have greatly differing fertilizer needs

Tips for fertilizing Azaleas:

1. During the spring and autumn peak growing seasons, apply dilute cake fertilizer liquid water once every 10 days. It can be made by fermenting rice washing water, fruit peels, vegetable leaves, etc.

2. In autumn, some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can also be added. It can be made by fermenting fish and chicken innards and water used to wash meat, plus rice washing water and some fruit peels.
