How to care for spring flowers? Remember these three precautions
When it comes to spring flowers, the first one people think of should be the winter jasmine, which is the first flower to bloom in spring. Of course, in spring, this beautiful and hopeful season, flowers are never limited to just this one kind. There are countless others, such as Jasminum mesnyi, Forsythia viridissima, crabapple, magnolia, camellia, peach blossom, azalea, and many more, not to mention the orchid, the gentleman among flowers. "A thousand stamens and pistils, blooming without leaves. When in full bloom, it can be called a jade tree." The flower language of the camellia is: modesty, ideal love. Camellia is a traditional famous flower of China and one of the famous flowers of the world, and spring flowers are the beginning of beauty. So what precautions are there for the management and care of spring flowers?
What are some tips for spring flower care and management
When potted flowers are watered with spring water for the first time, too much water can easily damage the seedlings. If you want potted flowers to grow well, repotting in early spring is most important. Before flowers and seedlings wake from dormancy, it is best to transplant and repot them. If the flowering period is in early spring, then repotting should wait until after the flowers fade. It is best to stop watering before repotting. The roots of potted flowers need proper pruning. In order to promote early differentiation of flower buds, nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should preferably be increased. When forcing blooms, watering must be done with care; both overly wet and overly dry conditions can easily cause bud drop.
When it is warm again and then cold, flowers should be moved outdoors with caution
In early spring, the greenhouse gradually warms up, so opening windows for ventilation should be done slowly. Generally, windows are opened for ventilation at noon and closed in the evening to prevent a large temperature difference. For the first time potted flowers are taken out of the greenhouse, it is best to wait until the temperature is stable before moving them out of the greenhouse. Spring sunlight is soft and can promote flower growth, and shade-loving flowers also need a certain amount of light. When first taken out of the greenhouse, they are most afraid of dry wind, so on windy days do not forget to cover and protect them.
What precautions are there for fertilizing in spring
Fertilizing in spring should also be done with care. Flowers and trees have just woken from sleep and have not yet had time to drink enough water and grow new roots. If they receive sufficient fertilizer, they cannot accept it. This is because if the fertilizer concentration is too high or too much fertilizer is applied, it will burn the roots and damage the old roots, making it difficult for new roots to grow and develop, and finally the flowers and trees will wither and die from lack of nutrients. This is especially true for newly repotted flowers, whose root absorption capacity is weak and which mainly consume their own internal water and nutrients, so fertilizing at this time is most likely to burn the tender roots. Therefore, when fertilizing in spring, be sure to fertilize frequently, fertilize late, and fertilize lightly.
