Fertilization is an indispensable part of flower care. Different types of fertilizers and methods of use vary.

Fertilization is especially important when it comes to maintaining flowers and succulents in spring, summer and autumn. Whether the plants are planted in pots or directly in the soil, it is essential to supplement fertilizers in time to ensure that they can achieve the desired growth state and bloom beautiful flowers.

There are many types of fertilizers on the market, including organic fertilizers, slow-release fertilizer granules, compound fertilizers and other chemical fertilizers, as well as various water-soluble fertilizers. These chemically synthesized fertilizers vary in their use.

In addition to the common chemical fertilizer, agricultural fertilizer is also a commonly used organic fertilizer, such as chicken manure, sheep manure and cow manure. These organic fertilizers are fermented to become marketable horticultural fertilizers, which are also very useful for growing flowers.

In the face of many types of fertilizers, there are naturally differences in their use methods.

As for the use of various fertilizers, it is not difficult to distinguish between them.

Usually the chemical fertilizer is mainly used for daily maintenance, for example, the plant blooms in June and July every year, we need to spread the chemical fertilizer evenly on the surface of the pot in April and May in advance. The chemical fertilizer can only be absorbed by the plant roots after it is dissolved by absorbing water, and it is generally not recommended to mix it directly in the soil.

Compound fertilizers, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers and slow-release fertilizer granules need to be sprinkled on the soil for use, and try to avoid stirring into the flower soil. Plants are supplemented when they need fertilizer, and the most used fertilizers are slow-release fertilizer granules and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Some trace fertilizers sold on the market, such as ferrous sulfate, are not used in small amounts in household flower farming, and can even be ignored.

The reason why it is not recommended to add chemical compound to the soil is that the chemical compound particles are mixed in the flower soil, and the soil will remain moist after watering. In this environment, the chemical fertilizer may completely decompose within one month, and it cannot be replenished for a long time, losing the original effect of use.

Instead, we can use organic fertilizers in the soil. The effect of organic fertilizer is relatively more long-lasting and mild, and it is not easy to cause root burning. When configuring plant soil, you can add an appropriate proportion of organic fertilizer to the flower soil and mix it well. This not only increases the activity of microorganisms in the soil, but also provides micronutrient support to the plants for a longer period of time.
