What fertilizer is best for begonias? Detailed methods

I. Fertilization timing

The timing for fertilizing begonias is mainly during their growing period, specifically mainly the two seasons of spring and autumn. In addition, when planting, you can judge whether base fertilizer needs to be mixed in based on how many nutrients are in the soil; if nutrients are insufficient, some need to be mixed in.

II. Types of fertilizer

For the base fertilizer in the soil, you can choose bone meal and other substances relatively rich in nutrients. For the fertilizer used during the growing period, generally choosing liquid fertilizer purchased from a store is enough, and the effect is relatively good.

III. Fertilization methods

1. The method of applying base fertilizer is relatively simple: mix it directly into the soil, then stir evenly. When using liquid fertilizer during the growing period, you need to pay attention to dilution; the concentration must not be too high, and it especially must not be used directly without dilution, otherwise it will cause very great harm to the health of the plant. After dilution, it can be sprinkled on the soil surface.

2. Next is the frequency of fertilization. It does not need to be too high; once a day for 10-15 [days] can basically meet the requirements.

3. In the early spring, mainly use nitrogen fertilizer to promote the sprouting of branches and leaves; before and after the flowering period, mainly use phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to promote flowering.

IV. Precautions

1. Do not fertilize when the temperature is unsuitable; neither too high nor too [low] temperature will do.

2. When fertilizing, you must also be especially careful not to get the fertilizer liquid on the leaves.
