Techniques of flower cultivation and fertilization in autumn

Fertilization Essentials

Proper fertilization should be applied to raise flowers, and the same is true in autumn. Fertilization should be carried out according to the growth needs of flowers

Autumn is the second season for some plants to grow, the flowering season for some plants, and the season for some plants to slow down. Fertilization must be based on specific conditions

For plants in the growth period, what needs to be done is to promote the growth of plants and supplement soil nutrients through fertilization; For plants that bloom in autumn, they need to promote flowering and make the flowers bloom brightly. They can apply more fertilizer to promote flowering; For plants that are already in a slow growth period, it is necessary to start reducing fertilization

Fertilization cycle

To fertilize flowers, we should master the amount of fertilization and fertilize according to a certain cycle. According to the principle of thin and frequent fertilization, the amount of fertilization should be less each time, but we can apply more times

In early autumn, when plants are still growing, fertilization can be applied every 7 to 10 days. In autumn, when the temperature drops and the growth of plants slows down, fertilization should be applied once every 15 to 20 days, and fertilization should be stopped slowly

Fertilizer selection

Fertilization needs to be selected according to the needs of plants. Those plants that bloom in autumn need to make their flowers gorgeous and supplement some phosphate and potassium fertilizer; Plants that continue to grow in autumn need to supplement nutrients, apply some thin fertilizer and water, or some rotten farm fertilizer, or apply some nitrogen fertilizer, such as some foliage plants, but dormant plants in winter must reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer

Precautions for fertilization in autumn

Growth habits of flowers

Different plants have different growth habits. Although fertilization is reduced in autumn because of the cooler weather, the specific fertilization operation should be carried out according to the growth habits of flowers. Flowers are in the growth period in autumn, flowering period or dormancy period, which determines how often they should be fertilized and which fertilizer should be applied

Flower characteristics

Different types of plants require different fertilizers. Acid loving plants should avoid applying alkaline fertilizers, and some fertilizers such as calcium superphosphate can be applied; Apply more nitrogen fertilizer to foliage plants; For bulbous plants and aromatic plants, some fertilizers such as phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer can be applied< span>
