As a flower that enjoys "night-blooming and transient beauty", epiphyllum has always been loved by flower lovers. In order for epiphany to bloom in your home, proper fertilization and careful care are essential. Today, I will introduce to you the fertilization methods and precautions of epiphany to help you create a beautiful epiphany garden.
First, epiphany fertilization method.
1.Fertilization time: Fertilization of epiphyllum is particularly important during the vigorous growth period and around the flowering period. In general, fertilization is applied once a year in spring and once in autumn. One month before the flowering period, the number of fertilization can be increased appropriately to ensure the flower quality of epiphany.
2.Fertilization type: Epiphyllum fertilization should be combined with organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer. Organic fertilizers, such as well-rotted compost and chicken manure, can improve soil structure and provide long-lasting nutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers can be used as fertilizers, and they are applied according to the proportions stated in the instructions.
3.Fertilization method: When fertilizing, the fertilizer should be evenly sprinkled around the plant, and then watered to facilitate the absorption of fertilizer. In addition, a fertilizer applicator can also be used for root fertilization, but care should be taken to avoid direct contact with the roots of the plant to avoid burns.
Second, the precautions for epiphyllum fertilization.
1.Avoid over-fertilization: Over-fertilization can cause epiphyllum to grow too vigorously and affect flowering. Therefore, when fertilizing, it is necessary to follow the principle of "small quantities and many times", which should be adjusted according to the growth condition of the plant and the fertility of the soil.
2.Avoid using uncooked organic fertilizer: Uncooked organic fertilizer contains high ammonia nitrogen, which is easy to burn plants and affect growth. Before using organic fertilizer, it is important to make sure that it is fully decomposed.
3.Pay attention to the quality of fertilization: clean water should be used when fertilizing, and avoid using polluted water or water with high salt content. Poor water quality can lead to stunted growth and even death.
4.Avoid fertilization during periods of high temperature and drought: During periods of high temperature and drought, the absorption capacity of the root system of the plant is weakened, and the fertilizer is not easily absorbed at this time, and it may also cause the fertilizer to burn the plant. Therefore, fertilization should be suspended during periods of high temperature and drought.
In short, epiphany fertilization should be reasonably matched with organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer, and follow the principle of "small amount and many times". As long as you master the above methods and precautions, the epiphany in your home will definitely bloom amazingly and add beauty to your home.
