Add this to kalanchoe and clivia in autumn, and the leaves will be so plump they drip with oil, and the flower buds will bloom vigorously
Give clivia some fertilizer, and the leaves will be shiny and dripping with oil!
Recently many people have been asking Huahua: autumn is here, can clivia be fertilized? Huahua would say of course there's no problem, but for flower lovers in the south, it's still best to wait until the highest temperature stays steadily below 30°C before fertilizing.
Autumn is the growing season for clivia, so fertilizer must be applied to make full preparations for flower bud differentiation.
Fertilizing method:
1. Clivia has just come through the hot summer and is in the stage of recovering growth, so it is best to first apply a complete organic fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. For example, roasted hemp seeds, fully decomposed and fermented cake fertilizer, and bone meal can all be used as base fertilizer applied along with the autumn soil change.
If you do not plan to repot, we can also bury the above solid fertilizers directly into the potting soil at a depth of about 2 cm, being careful not to let them come into direct contact with the roots.
2. Apply a top dressing of fermented cake fertilizer water or fishy water once every half month. By October, begin increasing the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote the plant's flower stem emergence. At this time, it also needs sufficient light and a large enough temperature difference for the plant to bloom smoothly.
Give kalanchoe some fertilizer, and flower buds will pop out like crazy!
With the crisp autumn air, kalanchoe has also awakened. The next 3 months are the plant's peak growing season. Seize the timing and apply fertilizer, and a full pot of blooms is not just a dream.
Fertilizing method:
1. For young cuttings that have just been planted, we must wait until they grow roots before fertilizing. When the seedlings grow three or four pairs of leaves, pinch off the growing tips. During the growth period, start applying nitrogen fertilizer to promote the growth of branches and leaves.
2. Autumn is exactly the plant's bud gestation period, so supplement it with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flower bud differentiation. We can choose to use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as a root drench, then about a week later spray the leaves with monopotassium phosphate, so the leaves can also absorb part of the fertilizer, working in two ways at once.
In autumn, be sure to give the plant plenty of sunlight, and stop fertilizing after the plant blooms.
Give the money tree some fertilizer, and the leaves will be sturdy and the branches will not fall over!
Many flower lovers say that when the money tree is first brought home, it grows very sturdy, but after a while the branches and leaves gradually become thin and small. That is because it lacks fertilizer!
Fertilizing method:
1. We can add base fertilizer when planting, using homemade composted cake fertilizer or a slow-release compound fertilizer.
2. During the vigorous growth period, the plant's demand for nutrients is relatively high. We can mix 0.2% urea with 0.1% monopotassium phosphate, or apply the balanced fertilizer calcium nitrate.
3. Note that when there is little light and photosynthesis is poor, the fertilizer supply should be reduced. Usually, also pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently. Otherwise, if fertilizer burn occurs, the loss will outweigh the gain.
