What kind of fertilizer do carnations use?

1. Its demand for fertilizer

Overall, it is a more fertile species. In some periods, such as when it grows slowly, it accumulates enough nutrients, so we don't need to fertilize it. However, when it grows vigorously, we need to apply some nutrients to help it grow better. For example, when it blooms. Below, we will mainly introduce its fertilization method according to the period.

2. Specific methods

(1) When it grows rapidly, specifically in March and April, and September and October, we need to increase the amount of fertilizer and the frequency. In general, we choose to apply fertilizer every other week.

(2) In other periods, especially in winter, growth is almost stagnant, so there is no need to apply too much fertilizer. At this time, it is also possible not to impose it.

(3) Here is the main introduction to the method after bud formation. It is best to apply some liquid fertilizer rich in P and K and spray it on the surface of the leaves.

3. What fertilizer to use

We have to determine what fertilizer to apply to it according to its own habits. Because it's a shallow root variety, we can't apply too much fertilizer. Specifically, diluted fecal water or rapeseed cake is a good choice. In addition, liquid fertilizer water of various nutrients is also possible.

4. Precautions

1) The most important thing is the concentration. As mentioned above, here again emphasize that it must not be too strong.

(2) In winter, we must remember not to apply too much fertilizer, and even water should be controlled.
