Sprinkle little black beans into the pots of kalanchoe and Christmas cactus: new shoots in 1 week, a pot bursting with blooms in March

More and more people like growing flowers indoors. Whether foliage plants or flowering plants, as long as they are placed indoors, they give people a fresh, healthy and vibrant feeling. So growing flowers indoors has become part of the lives of many flower lovers. Today I am sharing kalanchoe and Christmas cactus with you: they are foliage plants, and also beautiful flowering plants. Kalanchoe and Christmas cactus generally start blooming in winter and keep blooming until the summer of the following year.

Christmas cactus and kalanchoe are basically in bloom for half of the year, with very bright and beautiful flowers, and the plants are also very easy to grow, so they are loved and favored by many flower lovers. Many people like to place kalanchoe and Christmas cactus in their living rooms. It is now autumn, a good time to "give an extra meal" to kalanchoe and Christmas cactus. Because the autumn weather is cool, kalanchoe and Christmas cactus wake up from their short summer dormancy and begin to grow crazily and store nutrients to ensure they bloom in winter. So in autumn you must fertilize kalanchoe and Christmas cactus, supplementing nutrients so they produce beautiful flowers in winter.

So today the topic Shitou is sharing with you is:

"An extra meal" for kalanchoe and Christmas cactus: sprinkle "little black beans" into the pot, new shoots in 1 week, a pot bursting with blooms in March!

The fertilizer I recommend today is a kind of little black bean - sheep manure. Friends who have lived in the countryside have certainly seen sheep manure. Although it is just a little black bean, its fertilizer effect is very strong. In the countryside, farmers spread sheep manure on the land every spring to grow crops and vegetables. It is an organic fertilizer with a very strong fertilizer effect. After spreading sheep manure on the field in spring, there is no need to fertilize the crops again for a whole year.

Sheep manure is an organic fertilizer excreted by sheep after digesting plants. It is rich in elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The fertilizer effect of sheep manure is much higher than that of cow manure, and it is generally chosen for growing crops, growing tea and growing flowers. For growing flowers at home, burying a few grains of sheep manure in the flower pot is enough to meet the normal growth of the flowers. Sheep manure not only provides the plant with abundant nutrients; after the sheep manure grains buried in the soil slowly ferment later, they can also prevent the soil from compacting.

When fertilizing growing kalanchoe and Christmas cactus in autumn, according to the size of the plant and the size of the pot, generally for a flower pot 20 cm in diameter, putting in 10 grains of sheep manure is enough. It is best to dig some small holes at the edge of the flower pot, bury the sheep manure grains one by one in the small holes, water the pot and carry out normal care, and later the plant roots will gradually absorb the nutrients.

When using sheep manure as flower fertilizer, you must be sure to control the amount of fertilizer and not be greedy for more. Because sheep manure has a strong fertilizer effect, too much fertilizer can easily cause fertilizer damage to the plant, leading to burned roots and the death of the plant, and in the end the loss outweighs the gain. For growing flowers, basically adding sheep manure to the pot once a year is enough. Because it not only meets the plant's current growth, but later it will also gradually ferment and provide continuous nutrients. Fertilizing kalanchoe and Christmas cactus at this time, a healthy growing plant can grow new shoots in a week, and after three months, in winter, it can produce very beautiful flowers.

Once again, a reminder to everyone: when using sheep manure to fertilize, you must be sure to control the amount of fertilizer and not be greedy for more. If you find it useful, please like, follow below, and forward it to more friends.
