How much do you know about green plants and flower fertilization?

Some flower friends plant a lot of plants, but they don't know much about fertilization. today, let's share some little knowledge of fertilization, hoping to be helpful to them.

For all florists or gardeners, understanding the growth habits of plants, knowledge of fertilizers and how to use them effectively are essential to plant growth.

All mixed fertilizers contain three main chemical elements:

N = nitrogen promotes healthy leaf growth by promoting the production of chlorophyll, the main chemical that promotes photosynthesis and how plants convert sunlight into growth energy.

P = phosphorus supports the vigorous development of roots, stems, flowers and fruits

K = potassium plays a key role in helping plants digest and produce energy.

Why do plants need fertilizer?

All nutrients critical to plant growth exist in the soil or float in the air, but not all plants have access to key nutrients in the soil or air. Each soil type has its own mixture of nutrients, but some nutrients do not exist naturally or have been leached over time. Flower friends must replenish the nutrients needed by plants at all growth stages in a timely manner.

When it comes to fertilizing, it doesn't mean that more is better. It is possible to overfertilize plants, and too much fertilizer can damage or even kill plants.

Long-term slow-release fertilizer (organic fertilizer) and fast food fertilizer (chemical fertilizer, water-soluble fertilizer): which situation suits your situation?

Long-term slow-release fertilizer we can vividly compare it to "traditional Chinese medicine", it can regulate the soil structure, at the same time, it also has many other advantages.

Chemical fertilizer we can also vividly turn it into "western medicine", because it is fast.

When to apply fertilizer

Knowing when to fertilize is as important as using the right fertilizer. Fertilization is meaningless when plants cannot be fertilized. Most perennials, annuals, vegetables and lawns pay off handsomely if they use balanced liquid organic fertilizers in early spring. However, avoid fertilizing before the spring rain, or you will waste more money, because nutrients will be lost with Rain Water. Annual plants are supplemented with three to four times more phosphorus-loving and water-soluble fertilizers in the growing season, while lawns benefit from the second fertilization in early autumn.
