Have you ever had such an experience?The flowers are not very good, but there is a lot of fertilizer.
In the face of a dazzling variety of fertilizers on the market, we often impulsively buy a pile of fertilizer, but often the flowers are dead, but the fertilizer is still there.
Today, the sea talks about his own experience, what are the necessary fertilizers in our family flowers.
1.Compound fertilizer
Pros:
Good quality and low price: For those friends who have a group of green plants at home, compound fertilizer is definitely a cost-effective choice. Use it to fertilize and save both worry and money.
Don't be afraid of rainy days: other fertilizers may have to rest on rainy days, but compound fertilizers, sprinkled on rainy days, the effect is better!
Cons:
The dosage is difficult to master: especially potted plants, there is no effect if you use less, and it is easy to burn the roots if you use more, which is not a joke!
Nutrition is a bit thin: the main is nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium three elements, other trace elements are few, long-term use of it, plants may appear deficient symptoms.
Recommended fertilization method:What I recommend is compound fertilizer mixed with water, about 1:1500 ratio, which is not only trouble-free but also not easy to hurt our green baby.
2.Water-soluble fertilizer
Pros:
Scientifically formulatedThe regular water-soluble fertilizer on the market has undergone a lot of experiments, and in addition to adding medium and trace elements, it has also added some manufacturers' exclusive secret recipes. So compared to compound fertilizer, its effect is indeed better.
Efficient and fast: This thing is amazing, the roots of the plant can absorb it quickly, and the effect is immediately visible.
Cons:
*Not very beautiful: the ** of water-soluble fertilizer is several times that of compound fertilizer, for flower friends with a large number of flowers, it can be used with compound fertilizer, and the sea is so dry.
3.Organic fertilizer
Pros:
Improve soil structure: Although chemical fertilizer is good, but more application will cause soil compaction, in addition to regular soil change, occasionally apply an organic fertilizer can improve the soil, with chemical fertilizer, complement each other.
Contains beneficial bacteria: In addition to being rich in nutrients, organic fertilizer also contains a variety of beneficial bacteria that can activate the soil.
Mild fertilizer efficiency: organic fertilizer is relatively mild, relatively speaking, it is less easy to burn roots.
Cons:
Slow release of nutrients: It takes a certain amount of time to decompose, and the effect is not as good as that of chemical fertilizers.
Not very hygienic and tasteful: if the organic fertilizer is not completely fermented and rotted, it is easy to breed pests such as small black flies and grubs, and it will have a "sour" taste.
4.Trace element fertilizer
Pros:
Supplement essential trace elements of plants: essential for plant growth, can be used in combination with compound fertilizers.
Cons:
Use with caution: excessive or incorrect timing can cause problems with plant growth.
There is no other fertility and can only be used as a combination.
5.Slow-release fertilizer
Pros:
Long-term effect: One application can be maintained for a longer time and reduce the number of fertilization.
Mild fertilizer effect: I generally use slow-release fertilizer in summer, because the temperature is high in summer, the solubility of fertilizer is reduced, and the slow and gentle release of slow-release fertilizer just meets this.
Cons:
Higher cost: Usually higher than regular fertilizers.
Slow onset: generally used for base fertilizer, and suitable for summer.
6.Potassium monobasic phosphate
Pros:
Essential fertilizer for flowering: rich in phosphorus and potassium, it can irrigate roots and spray leaves. Generally, it promotes flowering during the flower bud differentiation stage of plants.
Cons:
There are too many fakes, and many of the so-called potassium dihydrogen phosphate on the market are actually fakes. This is why many flower friends feel that the effect is not obvious after application.
Okay, that's all for the sea. We generally have more than enough of the above fertilizers at home. Remember, the most important thing is to buy the real thing, choose some well-known brands and reliable stores. Also, don't let the fertilisers become a home fixture, with the right methods, they can really help your plants.
