How to fertilize potted flowers? Fertilization methods for potted flowers?

Fertilizing potted flowers is very important, and scientific fertilization is of great help to the growth of flowers. Today I will share with you how to fertilize potted flowers and the fertilization methods for potted flowers.

Fertilization methods for potted flowers: newly planted potted trees and potted flowers, those just potted, or those whose soil has just been changed, have damaged root systems, so it is best not to fertilize them for the time being. When fertilizing, apply the fertilizer at the edge of the pot.

First, in spring and summer, during the peak growth season of potted flowers and potted trees, more fertilizer must be applied. After the beginning of autumn, potted flowers and potted trees grow slowly, so less fertilizer should be applied. In winter, when the flowers and trees enter dormancy, stop fertilizing. It is best to fertilize on cloudy days, in the evening, or when the potting soil is slightly dry; first remove weeds and loosen the soil, which helps the fertilizer water seep into the soil and speeds up the decomposition of the fertilizer. But on the next morning, be sure to water thoroughly, commonly known as "return water," which not only helps the absorption of the fertilizer water but also avoids fertilizer burn.

Second, apply thin fertilizer frequently; each application should be small in amount and dilute. Generally speaking, from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Autumn, apply a topdressing of dilute fertilizer water once every 15 days; after the Beginning of Autumn, apply it once every 30 days; after the Beginning of Winter, stop topdressing.

Third, note that the nutrients needed by potted flowers and potted trees are mainly nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen fertilizer promotes the growth of branches and leaves, such as peanut bran, soybean cake, and ammonium sulfate; phosphorus fertilizer promotes bright flower colors and plump fruits, such as superphosphate and crushed bone meal; potassium fertilizer promotes root development and makes the plant firm and upright, such as potassium sulfate and plant ash.

Fourth, for bonsai flowers it is best to use organic fertilizers, also called farmyard manure, such as human excrement and urine, poultry manure, bone meal, peanut bran, soybean cake, and various green manures, plant ash, and so on. These fertilizers contain different proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium elements. Avoid chemical fertilizers as much as possible, because chemical fertilizers leave acid radicals or salt radicals behind, and the potting soil will become acidic or alkaline, hindering plant growth.
