Base fertilizer in early stage

Before the gourd seeds are sown into the flower pot, a layer of organic fertilizer needs to be applied at the bottom of the pot soil, mainly mixing some fertilizers such as animal manure, plus some compound fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. These mixed and placed under the pot soil are called base fertilizer, which is an important nutrient conducive to the vigorous growth of seeds after germination

Topdressing in later stage

Growth period

After the seedling stage, the growth rate of gourd plants begins to accelerate, basically changing from day to day. At this time, a large amount of water and fertilizer supply is necessary. Therefore, you can add some phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. The dose is still determined by the size of the flowerpot and the number and density of plants. Generally, the amount at this time will be more than that at the seedling stage, but because there is less soil in the flowerpot, you should pay attention to be careful that excessive fertilization will burn the plant roots, Cause adverse effects

Flowering stage

During the flowering period, not only the water should be reduced in time, but also the fertilizer does not need to be added too much for the time being. The most critical period of fertilizer supply is after the short flowering period

Fruiting period

Whether the gourd is full and smooth or shriveled and rough depends on the untimely supply of water and fertilizer at this time. Generally, at this time, in addition to the fertilizer mentioned above, some nitrogen fertilizer should be added, so that the expanded and beautiful small gourd will grow with sufficient nutrient supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. However, one thing is that when applying nitrogen fertilizer, it needs to be deeply buried in the soil of the flower pot, and do not let the roots come into direct contact with it
