What kind of fertilizer does Xiangxuelan use?

1. This plant's need for fertilizer

Relatively speaking, its demand for fertilizer is still quite large. Especially during certain periods, such as the peak period of its growth, and after flowering, etc.

2. Specific methods

(1) As we have said above, some base fertilizer should be applied long before planting to help it grow. Specifically, we can use some organic compost or some coarse granular organic fertilizer as its base fertilizer. Doing so not only greatly improves its fertility, but also makes it more breathable and helps the roots breathe. However, it should be noted that the base fertilizer is mainly organic fertilizer. As for chemical fertilizer, less is OK, more is not good.

(2) Then there is the fertilizer for the growth period. Because its bulbous roots are smaller, its ability to store nutrients is weaker. Then, we can appropriately add some fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium.

(3) Next is after flowering. After cutting off the pedicels, they can be maintained normally. At this time, it is necessary to apply liquid fertilizer every ten days or so, mainly potassium.

3. Precautions

(1) We all know that specific fertilization time is very important, and some times are not suitable for fertilization. For example, in rainy days, do not apply. This is because the soil is too wet.

(2) There is also the problem of concentration. Every time we talk about fertilization, we always mention concentration. Like many other plants, fertilizer concentrations should not be too high for this plant.
