The fertilizer you absolutely cannot do without when growing flowers: add a little to your watering, and the leaves will be glossy green and the flowers will bloom abundantly

Flower lovers often ask me why the flowers they just bought are in a state of full bloom, but when they take them home, grow them for a while, and get them to bloom again, there are only a few sparse flowers? When vendors sell flowers, they definitely only sell them when the flowers are in their best state, otherwise who would buy them? So when you buy them and take them home, how should you care for them so they still have glossy green leaves and bloom like crazy?

It is very simple: add fertilizer. To grow flowers, there must be sufficient nutrients, and the right balance of water and fertilizer, for them to bloom vigorously. With so many fertilizers, including bloom boosters, seedling boosters, root strengtheners, and slow-release types, how should we choose? If fertilizer is used improperly, root burn is very likely to occur. Without going into anything too complicated, Bai Xiaomei'er will recommend two of the most commonly used and relatively safe fertilizers for growing flowers.

To promote blooming: potassium dihydrogen phosphate

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is suitable for all kinds of flowering plants. It is rich in phosphorus and potassium elements, can make the root system strong, the branches and stems thick, and promote flower bud differentiation, with more flowers and brighter colors. For flowering plants such as kalanchoe, gardenia, and camellia, during the bud stage, dilute it with water and spray it on the plant leaves once a month until blooming. This can produce more flower buds and make it easier for the flowers to burst into full pots. I strongly recommend using it; after using it, you will no longer envy other people's plants for having more flowers.

To strengthen seedlings and nourish plants: slow-release compound fertilizer

When planting general potted plants, I personally scatter about 10 granules of slow-release compound fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. The fertility is mild and nourishes the roots. After the potted plant is planted, each time you water, the fertilizer will slowly release at the plant roots, and through root absorption, it makes the plant root system stronger and the leaves glossier and greener. But when using it, do not be greedy with the amount. Compound fertilizer can be top-dressed once every 2 months. When top-dressing, directly poke a few small holes at the edge of the flower pot and bury a few granules of compound fertilizer. It is very suitable for all kinds of foliage plants.

As I said before, if you want the plants at home to have glossy green leaves and many flowers, fertilizer must keep up, especially for plants with relatively long flowering periods, which have greater and higher nutrient needs. It should be noted that when potted plants develop spent flowers, promptly prune the spent flowers and supplement nutrients, so the flowers can bloom more and fuller.
