The secret of flower fertilizer: looking for the secret of potted plants with green leaves, red flowers and big fruits.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium

Planted on the balcony, whether vegetables, flowers or fruit seedlings, as long as understand and control the "nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium" these three necessary mineral elements, can be fruitful, full harvest!

Of course, we have to figure out which aspects of plant growth are affected by the three mineral elements, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium

Effects on plant growth

Nitrogen

(n)

Nitrogen fertilizer is also called leaf fertilizer. It can promote the rapid growth of plants, luxuriant branches and leaves, and thick green leaves.

In the seedling stage or foliage flowers, nitrogen fertilizer should be applied mainly. Generally, it is usually applied from spring to early summer, if nitrogen fertilizer is applied in the later stage of plant growth and development, the stems and leaves will grow too long, and the branches and buds will not finally mature, which will seriously affect flowering and fruit setting.

Excessive fattening, weak stems and leaves, vulnerable to diseases and insect pests. Therefore, the application of nitrogen fertilizer should be stopped before the plant enters the reproductive growth potential (flower bud differentiation stage).

Phosphorus

(P)

Phosphate fertilizer is also called fruit fertilizer. It can promote flower bud differentiation and bud pregnancy, make flowers rich in color, fruity and fullness, and promote plant growth.

Phosphate fertilizer is usually the most effective application in the later stage of plant growth and development. Therefore, phosphate fertilizer can be applied before flowering and after hanging the fruit. Plants have the ability to store phosphate fertilizer in the body and can adjust their use according to their growth needs.

Therefore, enough phosphate fertilizer can be applied in the base fertilizer at one time, and the phosphate fertilizer will not cause fertilizer damage as excessive application as nitrogen fertilizer.

Potassium

(K)

Potash fertilizer is also called root fertilizer. It can make the stem and root grow strong, not easy to lodge, and enhance the ability of resistance to diseases and insect pests and cold tolerance.

Potash fertilizer is an indispensable fertilizer in the early stage of plant development. More potash fertilizer can be applied at seedling stage, shoot stage and after seedling transplanting. In the later stage of plant development, potash fertilizer contributes to photosynthesis, especially on bulb production.

Therefore, potash fertilizer is indispensable in the whole growth process of flowers. At the same time, potash fertilizer will not cause fertilizer damage due to excessive application.

Director hint: flowers that have been put indoors for a long time, due to lack of light, so that photosynthesis is weakened, a large number of potash fertilizer can be applied.

Good use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium these three mineral elements can provide great help to plant growth.
