Time and amount of fertilization

The time of fertilization depends on the needs of the plant. The plant grows vigorously in spring and summer, so the amount of fertilizer can be increased appropriately. Around October in autumn, the plant grows slowly and fertilization is reduced. Michelia winters indoors in winter. The young leaves of the plant are in a dormant or semi dormant state. They need little nutrients and can not be fertilized

The application amount should not be too much or too little. Excessive fertilization will cause the plant to grow in vain, vulnerable to diseases and insect pests, and will gradually wither and die due to "fat burning". If the fertilization is insufficient, the new branches will grow slowly, the leaves will become smaller and yellow, and the flowers will become smaller. Generally, the growth strength of potted flowers determines the amount and intensity of fertilization. When the plants grow healthily, there can be more fertilizer and water. The concentration can be higher; On the contrary, when the plant growth is weak, the times of using fertilizer and water can be less, and the concentration can also be thinner

What fertilizer does Michelia apply

In order to promote the rapid and robust growth of seedlings, the content of nitrogen fertilizer should be appropriately increased while using compound fertilizer, such as soybean cake and sesame paste residue; In order to promote the pregnant buds and bright flowers of plants, more phosphate fertilizer can be applied, such as domestic animal hoof horn, bone powder, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, etc

Fertilization frequency of Michelia

Michelia is generally moved outdoors before and after the Qingming Festival. Generally, it can be watered with liquid fertilizer once a week after leaving the room. Because this period is the vigorous growth period of the plant and urgently needs nutrient moisture, so it is watered with fertilizer and water every other week and the transplantation lasts until the end of May

From June, fertilization can be appropriately reduced. Generally, liquid fertilizer is poured once every 10 ~ 15 days

July to August is the period of flower bud formation and growth, which requires more nutrients, but this time is the rainy season, which is relatively humid. You can use dry fertilizer appropriately, such as the powder of bean cake and sesame paste residue, ranging from 25 to 50 grams per pot

After the beginning of autumn, apply dry fertilizer once or twice until you enter the greenhouse. When applying fertilizer, do not sprinkle fertilizer and water directly on the plant to avoid damaging and polluting the leaves
