In order to ensure the healthy growth and flourishing of longevity flowers, it is very important to choose the right fertilizer. The following is a detailed introduction to the most suitable fertilizer for kalancho flowers and related knowledge.
1.Organic fertilizer: Since kalancho belongs to plants that have high requirements for fertilizer quality and composition, organic fertilizer is one of its best choices. Organic fertilizers can improve soil structure, improve soil fertility, increase the biological activity of microorganisms in the soil, help longevity flowers absorb nutrients, and promote their growth and flowering.
2.Comprehensive plant fertilizer: In order to meet the comprehensive nutrient needs of longevity flowers, plant fertilizers containing comprehensive plant nutrients can be selected, such as NPK compound fertilizer. This type of fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements necessary for plant growth, which can comprehensively provide the nutrients needed for the growth of longevity flowers, promote their root growth, flowering and fruiting.
3.Slow-release fertilizer: Slow-release fertilizer is a fertilizer with a continuous release of nutrients, which can effectively reduce the number of fertilizer applications, reduce the pressure on plant roots, and the fertilizer effect is long-lasting. For longevity flowers, choosing the right slow-release fertilizer for application can help them maintain long-lasting growth momentum and flowering fruit.
4.Completely water-soluble fertilizer: A completely water-soluble fertilizer is a fertilizer that is easily absorbed and utilized by plants, and can usually be dissolved directly in water for easy application. Longevity flowers have a strong ability to absorb nutrients, so choosing a completely water-soluble fertilizer for watering and fertilization can help quickly replenish the nutrients needed by the plant and promote its healthy growth.
5.Okara fermentation broth: Okara fermentation broth is a natural organic fertilizer, made by mixing okara with water and fermenting, which is rich in nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium required for plant growth, which helps to improve soil fertility and improve the growth environment of plants. Longevity flower has a good acceptance ability to the fermentation broth of bean dregs and can be used as a supplementary fertilizer.
When fertilizing longevity flowers, you need to pay attention to the following:
Follow the principle of fertilization: Proper fertilization is key to avoid root burns or soil salinization caused by over-fertilization.
Fertilization cycle: It is more appropriate to fertilize longevity flowers in spring and summer when they are vigorous, and it is generally advisable to fertilize them every one to two months.
Fertilization method: Try to avoid sprinkling fertilizer directly on the roots of longevity plants, which can be evenly distributed around the plants to avoid burning the plants.
Balanced nutrition: According to the special growth needs of longevity flowers, try to choose fertilizers with balanced nutrients to ensure that sufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other key elements are provided.
In summary, organic fertilizers, comprehensive plant fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers, completely water-soluble fertilizers, and okara fermentation broth are all fertilizer options suitable for longevity flowers. Proper selection and proper application of fertilizers can help promote the growth and flowering of longevity flowers, and ensure the health and beauty of the plants.
