A few points to pay close attention to in flower cultivation and management

With the arrival of spring, many flowers have already begun to grow rapidly. Although temperatures are rising, spring temperatures still fluctuate a lot, so flower lovers should still do a good job of spring flower care and management.

1. Moving outdoors must be done at the right time

In early spring, temperatures fluctuate, the wind is strong, and cold snaps often strike, so do not rush to move flowers outdoors. Moving them out too early can easily cause leaf drop, or dieback of branches or the entire plant.

2. Watering tips

1. In early spring, the temperature is not yet very high and evaporation is low, so water less; do not water too much all at once. If you water too much, it easily leads to the potting soil staying wet for a long time, and the soil becomes oxygen-deficient, which can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop, and flower and fruit drop in flowers, and in severe cases can also cause the flowers to die.

2. In late spring, the temperature is relatively high, light is also strong, and evaporation is greater. During this period, watering should be frequent and the amount of water should also be increased. Once the surface soil layer is dry, water promptly, watering until water can flow out from the bottom of the pot. In late spring, it is generally best to water in the morning.

3. Nutrition management

In spring, before the plant sprouts, water with plain water only; there is no need to fertilize. After new buds grow, apply a relatively dilute liquid fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. As the plant grows, the amount of fertilizer and water can gradually be increased. Fertilizing should be done on a clear evening. Before fertilizing, loosen the soil first, and wait until the potting soil is slightly dry before fertilizing.

4. Repotting and changing the soil

Regularly renewing the potting soil can reduce the probability of pests and diseases occurring. Except for flowers that bloom in early spring, all other types of flowers can be repotted and have their soil changed in spring. Generally, they should be repotted and have the soil changed once every 2 to 3 years, while some need it once a year. Remember to cut off old, dead, and dried roots, as this can promote the growth of new roots. When repotting and changing the soil, base fertilizer culture soil should be added, and the flowerpot should also be a bit larger than the original one.
