Friends often say that the life they envy the most is actually to have a sunny balcony, or a terrace where they can grow flowers and enjoy the cool air, and it would be best to have a small yard. This is the life we ​​dream of.

Appreciate flowers, read books, drink tea, and enjoy a comfortable life and time. In fact, even if the balcony is small, you can still grow some of your favorite flowers and plants. Watching them grow and bloom will make you happy.

Whether you are an adult or a child, you can live the life you like. Growing flowers is something that anyone can do.

However, when growing flowers at home, you cannot water or fertilize them randomly , especially when fertilizing the flowers, you must be careful, because flowers and plants need to develop and sprout new branches and leaves during the growth process.

You need to supply an appropriate amount of fertilizer. Appropriate fertilizer, which is a nutrient additive, can significantly improve the growth conditions of potted flowers and plants, making them look completely different and grow faster.

It can make its branches and leaves more luxuriant, its flowers more numerous and its colors brighter, and can greatly enhance the quality and ornamental value of potted flowers!

1. Do not fertilize randomly in summer

When the temperature is relatively high, many flowers and plants enter a semi-dormant or dormant state. At this time, their growth rate is slow, and some plants have stopped growing.

Succulent plants, such as some Christmas cacti, are dormant in the summer, so they don’t need much nutrients. You just need to let them survive the summer without applying too much fertilizer.

The weather is hot in the summer. When the temperature reaches 35 degrees, you should stop fertilizing, or give less fertilizer, not too much fertilizer. It is best to wait until the weather cools down before fertilizing.

2. Don’t fertilize dormant plants

The growth of plants also requires suitable weather and temperature. When the temperature is too low, below 10 degrees and above 35 degrees, many flowers will stop growing.

Or it grows slowly and requires very few nutrients, so applying fertilizer at this time will affect its growth and have no effect.

So they are dormant at this time, so you need to stop fertilizing or reduce the frequency and amount of fertilization. The temperature is too low in winter, so there is no need to fertilize, and you can wait until spring to fertilize.

3. Pay attention to the method of fertilization

Pay attention to the techniques when applying fertilizer. Do not spray fertilizer on the leaves or splash fertilizer on the flowers. Both are not good. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to the amount and apply thin fertilizer frequently.

Also, don't use too much fertilizer at one time. Use milder fertilizer. Don't use too much chemical fertilizer at one time, as it can easily burn the roots and yellow the leaves, and prevent the flowers and plants from absorbing it normally, so you have to be careful when fertilizing.

4. Do not use uncomposted fertilizers

If we have a lot of plants outdoors and if the flowerpots are relatively large, we can actually water them with rice washing water or tea water.

However, if you are growing potted flowers and plants indoors, especially some small potted plants, do not water them with rice water or fertilizers that are not fully decomposed and fermented.

If it is raw fertilizer, it will easily cause the plant roots to burn and the leaves to turn yellow, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, raw fertilizer cannot be used, and too much fertilizer cannot be applied at one time. It must be fermented and decomposed organic fertilizer before it can be used.

So, although growing flowers is not a difficult task, we still need to pay attention to some small details, so that the flowers and plants we grow will perform better, grow more vigorously, and become more beautiful and pleasing to the eye day by day.

In short, you can't apply fertilizer casually. You can't apply fertilizer whenever you want. Instead, you have to apply fertilizer according to different temperatures and growth environments. Only in this way can flowers and potted plants grow smoothly, become more lush and more spectacular as they grow.

Therefore, when fertilizing flowers, you must remember the above points. Gradually, you can become a master of flower-growing and be able to grow every potted plant in your home very vigorously. It is really a happy thing!
