When you grow flowers in summer, you can't apply fertilizer, or the leaves will turn yellow and the flowers will fall.

There are more and more flower lovers, and everyone has mastered some knowledge and skills of growing flowers, such as watering flowers with rice water, growing flowers with mature soybeans, and so on. Potted flowers are like this. If you take good care of them, they will surely return them with oil-green leaves and bright flowers. To put it simply, "when you grow flowers, you have to lose your heart."

In fact, in the whole process of growing flowers, no matter which kind of flowers and plants they are, some of them are the same. For example, most of the watering should be "dry and wet", while fertilizing, most of the "thick fertilizer" cannot be applied. In terms of fertilization, let's focus on sharing today that for most flowers, these four "times" should not be fertilized in summer, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow and flowers will fall.

The first time: do not apply "nitrogen fertilizer" during the flowering period of flowers.

Nitrogen fertilizer believes that many flower friends know its benefits: nitrogen is the main element to promote plant growth. When there is more nitrogen in the flowerpot, it will make the stems and leaves of the plant grow more vigorously. Therefore, nitrogen fertilizer is mostly used during the growth of flowers and plants. If nitrogen fertilizer is used to fertilize when flowering, it is likely to lead to excessive growth of leaves, falling flowers and buds. Common nitrogen fertilizers include rotten soybeans, expired soybean milk and so on. Remember not to use them before flowering.

The second time: during the dormancy of flowers, no fertilizer can be applied.

Flower dormancy period, simply speaking, is the "self-adjustment period" of flowers. Most flowers are dormant in summer because the temperature is too high. For these flowers, fertilizer must be stopped, even if it is thin fertilizer and water. If fertilizing at this time, it will lead to plants due to too many nutrients, and can not be consumed, resulting in "basin soil hardening" situation. After the consolidation of the basin soil, the root system can not be in a loose and breathable environment, and the rotten root will naturally occur. And then cause yellow leaves, falling flowers.

The third time: newly cultivated flowers and plants can not be fertilized.

Experienced flower friends all know that in the conservation of newly transplanted flowers, attention should be paid to the preparation of "nutritious soil" in the early stage. Instead of early fertilization by the outside world. When plants are newly cultivated, there are usually wounds in the roots, and a loose environment is most needed to heal the wound. Fertilization will stimulate the root cells, difficult to heal, so that the plant is not far from rotten roots and die. Especially some flowers cut in summer, such as green pineapple, rose, longevity flower, rubber tree, etc., remember not to apply fertilizer before taking root.

The fourth time: when the flowers and leaves turn yellow, do not apply fertilizer first.

Why can't fertilizer be applied when the leaves of plants turn yellow? Because whether in summer or other seasons, the leaves of most flowers turn yellow, rarely caused by fertilizer. In addition to light and ventilation, watering is the culprit. As the saying goes, growing flowers depends on fertilizer for three percent and water for seven percent. Many novice flower growers have watered the flowers to death. Stagnant water leads to rotten roots and then yellow leaves.

When the leaves turn yellow, you should immediately think about what caused it. If it is caused by too much fertilizer and too often, you can no longer apply fertilizer. Instead, you should immediately change the pot to change the soil and clean the roots.

This is the end of the knowledge about growing flowers and fertilizing. Thank you for reading!
