How to choose flower fertilizer? Four points to note when purchasing
Nowadays, residents in some cities like to grow flowers in their residential communities, but the flowers they grow are not so brightly colored and varied. This involves an important step, the fertilization of flowers. If we want to fertilize flowers reasonably, we must first choose flower fertilizer. When purchasing flower fertilizer, the following four points should be noted:
1. When purchasing flower fertilizer, do not look only at the price. Every producer hopes to choose an economical and effective fertilizer, but deciding whether to purchase flower fertilizer based solely on price is not sensible and will affect the fertilizer's effectiveness in production.
2. When purchasing flower fertilizer, producers must carefully read the instructions on the outer packaging of the fertilizer, seriously study the composition of the product ingredients, and finally choose according to their own needs and economic strength.
3. The relatively popular fertilizer application method internationally is 75% controlled-release fertilizer plus 25% water-soluble fertilizer. Using them in this ratio is economical and effective. In most people's view, controlled-release fertilizer is expensive and will increase costs when used, but this is not actually the case. Water-soluble fertilizer is wasted more during use, and labor costs are higher. Controlled-release fertilizer is a coated fertilizer that releases according to plant needs, which can reduce fertilizer waste to a minimum, has relatively high use efficiency, and can reduce labor. In the final calculation, the cost will instead be lower. In addition, when choosing controlled-release fertilizer, you should also pay attention to some explanations provided by suppliers, such as ingredient differences between different brands. Some brands of fertilizer have certain patented technologies that can promote plants' absorption of nutrients. All this information should provide a basis for consumers when purchasing flower fertilizer.
4. When choosing a flower fertilizer supplier, pay attention to its after-sales service. Some suppliers only sell products and have no after-sales service, while some suppliers provide supporting services. They will provide a full set of fertilization plans according to the types of products the producer is producing. Plants use different fertilizers at each growth stage. For example, at the seedling stage, fertilizers with high nitrogen, low phosphorus, and low potassium should be selected, while when forcing flowers, fertilizers with low nitrogen, high phosphorus, and medium potassium should be used. For some producers, because they have not been engaged in production for long and are not experienced enough, they are not familiar enough with the details of flower fertilizer use, so the thoughtful services provided by fertilizer suppliers become even more important.
