1. Choose fertilizers according to the growth stage of plants

The fertilizers used by plants are different at different growth stages. for example, fertilizers with high nitrogen, low phosphorus and low potassium should be used at the seedling stage, while fertilizers with low nitrogen, high phosphorus and medium potassium should be used when promoting flowering. For some flower growers, because the time of growing flowers is not long, the experience is not rich enough, and they are not familiar with the details of the use of fertilizer, it is also appropriate to consult many veterans.

Second, according to the actual lack of plants to buy fertilizer

Plants will behave differently if they lack certain nutrients, and some people will buy some fertilizer to use it. It often causes fat damage. The use of fertilizer should be purchased according to the lack of actual nutrients in plants.

Third, buy fertilizers according to the ratio of performance to price

At present, the popular way of fertilizer use is 75% controlled-release fertilizer plus 25% water-soluble fertilizer, which is the most economical and effective. In the view of most people, the price of controlled-release fertilizer is high, which will increase the cost when used, but it is not. Controlled-release fertilizer is an encapsulated fertilizer, which can be released according to plant demand, which can reduce the waste of fertilizer to the minimum and improve the use efficiency. In addition, when choosing controlled-release fertilizers, we should also pay attention to some instructions provided by suppliers, such as the composition differences between different brands, and some brands of fertilizers have patented technology that can promote the absorption of nutrients by plants. this information should provide a basis for selection.

Because flower growers do not need as much fertilizer as flower producers and farmers, do not buy too much fertilizer. Once some fertilizers are unsealed, they will volatilize if they are not used for a long time. So it is best to buy it and use it immediately after unpacking.
