How to handle fertilizer burn in potted flowering plants

Many people grow a few pots of flowers at home for viewing, as they are pleasing to the eye and cultivate the mind, and fertilizing is essential in the care of potted flowering plants, but improper fertilizing can very likely cause fertilizer burn. So what should be done? Let's take a look below.

Foliar feeding

If fertilizer burn is caused by foliar feeding, you can spray clean water on the leaves to rinse off the residual foliar fertilizer, which can relieve the fertilizer burn to a certain extent. After rinsing, you can also spray brassinosteroid to relieve the fertilizer burn.

Precautions

Be sure to use it according to the concentration on the instructions, do not increase the concentration at will, try to spray before 10 a.m., and do not use it under the blazing midday sun.

Root feeding

If the fertilizer burn is caused by root feeding, then it depends on how severe the fertilizer burn is. If the fertilizer burn is mild, you can water more to dilute the fertilizer in the soil and relieve the fertilizer burn; if the fertilizer burn is severe, you should remove the plant from the pot and wash the roots as soon as possible, replace it with new nutrient soil, and repot it.

Precautions

For root feeding, be careful not to apply too much or too concentrated fertilizer; apply light fertilizer frequently; when fertilizing, do not get too close to the root system, and it is best to keep a distance of 5 cm, but there is a new type of fertilizer——microbial bacterial fertilizer, which is the exception, as the closer it is to the roots, the better, so that it can work better.
