[Flower Growing Encyclopedia] 80 Common Flower Fertilization Guide
Many flower lovers have worried about the flowers at home. Why do other people's flowers have lush branches and leaves, large and colorful flowers, while your own flowers have thin leaves and even no flowers? In fact, the main difference lies in fertilization. Today, Huahua has prepared 80 kinds of flower fertilization methods for you. As long as you learn them, your flowers can also be lush and green, making others envious!
Gardenia
Gardenia likes fertilizer very much. When planting gardenia, you can add decomposed bean cake fertilizer to the soil as base fertilizer. During the growth period of gardenia, it needs to be fertilized once a week. Fertilizers can be moldy soybeans, sesame paste residue, peanut bran, etc. After being fully decomposed, they can be watered in a ratio of 1:10. These fertilizers are acidic after fermentation, which is suitable for the growth of gardenia.
2. During the budding period, top dressing is required 1-2 times a month. In addition, you can also spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves of gardenia to make the gardenia larger, more colorful and more fragrant.
2 Rose
Roses like fertilizer, and potted roses need to be fertilized frequently. During the growing season, apply thin fertilizer water about once every 10 days. Fertilizers can be made from well-rotted cow dung, chicken dung, bean cake residue, oil residue, etc., which are fermented with water. In summer, when the temperature is high, roses enter a dormant period and do not need to be fertilized separately. Just add a small amount of fertilizer when watering. In winter, before the dormant period in December, apply well-rotted organic fertilizer to ensure that the roses can safely overwinter.
Before budding in early spring, roses should be fertilized with a high concentration of liquid fertilizer. The best time to fertilize is before flowering in May, after flowering in June, and before the second flowering in October. Topdressing is essential, and more nitrogen-containing fertilizers, such as decomposed animal manure, should be applied. Nitrogen fertilizer should be applied 1-2 times after each flowering to promote plant rejuvenation.
3. Fortune Tree
The money tree likes fertilizer and has a great demand for it. You can choose to mix leaf mold, garden soil, bone residue and bean cake residue as nutrient soil, but it must be fully decomposed before use, otherwise the leaves will easily burn yellow.

Applying organic fertilizer to the roots once a week can make the fortune tree lush and leafy. Fertilizers can be bean cake fertilizer, decomposed chicken manure fertilizer, etc., and the concentration is preferably about 1:10. When watering, adding some urea and ferrous sulfate can promote the growth of new buds on the fortune tree.
4 Kalanchoe
During the peak growth period of Kalanchoe, apply a thin layer of compound liquid fertilizer about once every 15-20 days. This will allow the Kalanchoe to grow strong and bloom more. In summer, Kalanchoe needs to be dormant and does not need fertilizer.

5. Pothos
The main fertilizer for fertilizing green radish is nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by potassium fertilizer. Before the growth period of green radish in spring, apply ammonium sulfate or 0.3% urea once every 10 days, and use 0.5‰~1‰ urea solution as foliar fertilizer, which can not only meet the growth needs of green radish, but also keep the leaves green.
In the winter in the north, the green radish is in a dormant period, so fertilization should be reduced or stopped. Before winter, liquid inorganic fertilizer can be applied, about once every half a month. After winter, the main method is to spray foliar fertilizer, using the pores of the green radish to absorb fertilizer.
6 Clivia
When repotting Clivia, put some charcoal and broken bricks at the bottom of the pot, and bury three horseshoes. You can also use roasted sesame seeds, melon seeds and other oil crops as base fertilizer. Then place it in a ventilated and diffused light place, and apply thin liquid fertilizer about once every half a month.
Normally, you can apply decomposed bean cake fertilizer or decomposed liquid fertilizer such as animal hair and horns, which can be diluted about 20-30 times before use to promote leaf growth. It is suitable to apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers before flowering in winter and spring. You can use fish bones, chicken bones, hemp seeds, etc. to make them retting, which can promote the growth of flowers. Stop fertilizing when the weather is hot.
7 Asparagus fern
During the growth period, it is necessary to apply 1-2 times a month of thin liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen, such as decomposed bean cake fertilizer and Chinese medicine residue, to promote the luxuriant branches and leaves of asparagus fern. Do not apply too much fertilizer during the flowering period, and apply liquid fertilizer twice in May-June and September-October respectively.
8. Chlorophytum
During the growth period, apply thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days, mainly nitrogen fertilizer. You can use egg shells, bone meal, bean dregs and other organic fertilizers, and then use them after they are fully fermented. For varieties such as golden-edged spider plants and silver-edged spider plants, less nitrogen fertilizer should be applied, otherwise the leaves will fade easily.
When fertilizing the spider plant, lift up the leaves to prevent the fertilizer from getting on the leaves and burning them. After fertilizing, it is best to spray the leaves with clean water to prevent the fertilizer from splashing.
9. Mint
Mint does not require much fertilizer, and it only needs to be fertilized once every 20-30 days. Fertilizers can be chosen from decomposed bean cake fertilizer, Chinese medicine residue, or bone residue, etc.

10. Copper Coin Grass
The demand for fertilizer of copper coin grass is relatively large, and it needs to be fertilized once every 2-3 weeks during its vigorous growth period. If it is planted in a container, the amount of fertilizer needs to be reduced. For example, quick-acting fertilizer Huabao No. 2 can maintain the fertilizer effect in the water for a longer time and keep the water quality slightly acidic.
If it is a hydroponic pennywort, you can also add nutrient solution into the hydroponic bottle, or directly use rice water to water the flowers, which can also make the pennywort grow vigorously.
11. Aloe Vera
1. The base fertilizer is generally mixed with the potting soil in a ratio of 1:10. After stirring, it is used as the nutrient soil needed by aloe vera. The base fertilizer can be moldy peanuts and soybeans that have been fully decomposed. The fertilizer must be fully decomposed, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots.
2. In spring and autumn, aloe vera grows fast, so you can apply organic fertilizer 1-2 times a month, such as decomposed chicken manure fertilizer or bean cake fertilizer, with a concentration of 1:10. In winter, the growth is slow, so you can apply fertilizer once every 30 days. When spraying foliar fertilizer on aloe vera, the fertilizer concentration should not exceed 0.2%
12. Lucky Tree
During the growing period, quick-acting liquid fertilizer can be applied 2-3 times a month. The liquid fertilizer can be fermented with decomposed bean cake fertilizer, or you can bury a few slow-release fertilizer, compound fertilizer granules, etc. in the pot each time.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, apply 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution 2-3 times. This can increase the cold resistance of the lucky tree and help it survive the winter safely. Stop fertilizing when the temperature is high in summer.
13 Bougainvillea
Starting from May, bougainvillea needs to be fertilized every 15 days. The fertilizer can be 10% to 15% decomposed bean cake liquid fertilizer to promote the development of bud tips.
In July and August, the weather is hot, the evaporation is large, and the consumption is high. You can apply 10% liquid fertilizer or a small amount of compound liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days. After September, apply less nitrogen fertilizer and more 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote the flower buds to open better.
14 Jasmine
Potted jasmine mainly uses organic fertilizer, preferably decomposed human feces and urine, or human feces and urine mixed with chicken manure, pig manure, bean cake, etc. to make organic fertilizer. The best time to apply fertilizer is when the pot soil just turns white and the soil around the pot wall has dry cracks.
During the peak growth period, fertilizer can be applied every 3-5 days. After that, the fertilizer concentration can be gradually reduced with each flowering. Before flowering, jasmine can be sprayed with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate to make the jasmine more fragrant.
15 Tiger Pilan
1. It is best to use compound fertilizer as the main fertilizer for tiger skin orchid, 1-2 times a month. If the fertilizer is uneven, it is easy to cause its leaf stripes to become lighter. You can also bury 2 holes of cooked soybeans 5 cm away from the surface of the pot soil, 5-7 beans in each hole, and do not let the soybeans come into contact with the root system.
2. You can put bean cake or sesame cake in a plastic bucket, add rice water and ferment it to make liquid fertilizer suitable for the growth of tiger skin orchid. However, tiger skin orchid does not like concentrated fertilizer, so it needs to be diluted to about 1:20 before use.
16 Lucky Bamboo
For hydroponic lucky bamboo, fertilize it about once every 30 days. You can use compound fertilizer, or you can add an appropriate amount of nutrient solution into the bottle, which can promote the leaves of the lucky bamboo to be shiny and stretch.
17 Schlumbergera
Christmas cactus cannot use chemical fertilizers, which can easily cause flowers and buds to fall off. It is best to use self-fermented liquid fertilizer, which can be made by adding water to bone residue, Chinese medicine residue, etc. and sealing it. From the beginning of autumn to the flowering period, you can apply fertilizer once every 10 days or so to promote the differentiation of flower buds and form buds.
18 Orchid
In spring and autumn, when orchids are growing vigorously, you can apply decomposed alum fertilizer water once every 7 days or so. Fertilization should be done on sunny days. Do not apply fertilizer when it is hot in summer or cold in winter.
During the vigorous growth period, spray foliar fertilizer once every 15 days or so. You can buy special foliar fertilizer for orchids. If you find that the leaves of orchids are shiny, then there is no lack of fertilizer and no need to apply fertilizer. Fertilize when the leaves are dull.
19 Anthurium
There is a layer of wax on the leaves of anthurium, and it is not easy to absorb the foliar fertilizer, so you should choose to fertilize it by root irrigation. Generally, apply thin liquid fertilizer every 4-7 days. In summer, the temperature is high and the evaporation is large, so you can apply liquid fertilizer every 3-5 days. Two hours after fertilizing, it is best to spray water on the leaves to wash off the fertilizer remaining on the leaves, keep the leaves clean, and reduce bacterial infection.
20 Milan
Milan likes fertilizer and can be fertilized 1-2 times a month. The fertilizers are mainly organic fertilizers and phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. You can use fully decomposed peanut cake fertilizer and water at a ratio of 1:50 to water it, or you can spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves to increase phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
Fertilizers must be applied when the soil in the pot is slightly dry, so that the fertilizer can be easily absorbed. Fertilizer application is generally done in the evening, and water thoroughly the next morning to prevent excessive fertilizer concentration from burning the roots. Fertilizer application must be done on sunny days, and not on rainy days.
21 Rose
Potted roses have strict requirements for fertilizers, and compound fertilizer is generally the first choice. Because the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in compound fertilizer are evenly distributed. About 20 grams per rose can be applied each time. When fertilizing, dig about 10 cm around the pot soil, bury the fertilizer, and then cover it with soil.
22 Smooth Sailing
During the growth period, liquid fertilizer can be applied once every 1-2 weeks. Compound fertilizer and fully decomposed bone residue fertilizer are both fine. Fertilization should be stopped in winter when the temperature is low. Before flowering, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied. You can spray 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves, about once every half a month.
23 Lily
Lilies do not need to be fertilized within 3-4 weeks after planting. Fertilization can only be started when the bulbs germinate and the plants reach 20-30 cm above the ground. Lilies have a large demand for nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. Nitrogen fertilizers can be applied every 10-15 days during the growth period. Because too much phosphorus fertilizer will cause the leaves to turn yellow, only 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution is applied 1-2 times during the flowering period.
24 Peace Tree
From spring to early autumn, the peace lily can be fertilized with a thin layer of cake fertilizer water once a month. After autumn, it should be topdressed with phosphorus-containing fertilizers twice, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

July and August are the dormant period of geraniums, and no fertilizer is needed.
27 Rubber Tree
Rubber trees grow quickly. Applying nitrogen-containing fertilizers about 2-3 times a month can promote vigorous growth of the plant. Some varieties with colorful stripes should use less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, otherwise the stripes will gradually disappear. In September, only phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be applied, without nitrogen fertilizers, to improve the plant's ability to resist cold. Fertilization should be stopped during the winter dormancy period.
28 Hydrangea
Hydrangeas like fertilizer. During the growing season, you can apply fully decomposed thin cake fertilizer water every 15 days. In order to keep the soil acidic, you can add 1% ferrous sulfate to the fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, avoid high temperature weather, otherwise it will attract pests and damage the root system.
Regularly watering hydrangeas with alum fertilizer can make the plants lush and leafy. Applying 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution 1-2 times during the bud formation period can make the hydrangeas larger and more colorful.
29 Azalea
During the peak growth period in spring and autumn, azaleas can be fertilized with a thin liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so. It can be made from fermented rice water, fruit peels, tea leaves, etc., with a concentration of 1:10. After flowering in May, as new buds sprout, the fertilizer concentration can be increased.

After the new roots sprout, start spraying 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution or 0.1% urea solution, generally once every 10 days. When the seedlings grow to more than 10 cm, you can add slow-release fertilizer particles when fertilizing to promote growth.
63 Epiphyllum
The main fertilizers for Epiphyllum are decomposed cake fertilizer and diammonium phosphate. During the vigorous growth period in summer, thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once every 10 days. Stop fertilizing after buds appear. Prune it in time after flowering and apply nitrogen fertilizer 1-2 times. Stop fertilizing during the winter dormancy period.
64 African Mirabilis jalapa
African purple jasmine prefers lighter inorganic fertilizers, which can be made into liquid fertilizers with fully fermented rice water, noodle soup, chicken, duck, fish intestines, etc. After sealing and composting. If you want to apply flower fertilizer, it is best to apply it 1-2 times a month, evenly sprinkle 10-20 grains of compound fertilizer about 5 cm from the edge of the flower pot, and then cover it with soil.
65 Dahlia
Dahlias like fertilizer. When potting them, you can add some bone meal to the soil as base fertilizer. Fertilize about once every 7-10 days during the growing season. It is best to mix liquid fertilizer with 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, because applying nitrogen fertilizer alone can easily cause the plant to grow too tall and the stems to become soft and fall over.
66 Desert Rose
Desert Rose likes phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. During the peak growth period in summer, it needs to be applied with 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution or 0.5% superphosphate solution once a month to make the flowers brightly colored. When repotting every year, add some decomposed bean cake fertilizer or bone meal as base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot to make the plant grow more vigorously. In winter, the Desert Rose enters a dormant period and fertilization should be stopped.
67 Verbena
When the petunia is in the seedling stage, you can spray the plant with 0.2% urea. When the seedling grows up, apply nitrogen-containing fertilizer 1-2 times a month. Urea and compound fertilizer are both fine. Before the petunia blooms, you need to apply 0.2% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote flower bud differentiation and more flowering.
68 Margaret
Generally, when repotting and planting marigolds, enough base fertilizer is applied. No fertilizer is needed at other times. Base fertilizer can be mixed with fully decomposed chicken manure and slow-release fertilizer. Fertilizer cannot come into contact with the root system, otherwise it is easy to burn the roots.
69 Maidenhair fern
The maidenhair fern does not require much fertilizer. During the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, it can be applied with thin liquid fertilizer once a month. During this period, 1000 times ferrous sulfate solution can be applied 2-3 times. When applying decomposed liquid fertilizer to the maidenhair fern, use a fine-mouthed spray bottle to slowly apply fertilizer along the edge of the flower pot. Do not let the liquid fertilizer get on the leaves, otherwise it will easily burn the leaves.
70 Cosmos
Cosmos does not require much fertilizer. If enough base fertilizer is applied when planting, such as urea, compound fertilizer or decomposed liquid fertilizer, then no fertilizer is needed during the growing period, because excessive fertilization can easily cause the branches and leaves to grow too long and not bloom; if there is not enough base fertilizer, then fertilizer needs to be applied every 10 days or so during the growing period, and no fertilizer is needed in hot summer weather.

The million bells plant does not require much fertilizer to grow. The base fertilizer can be made of earthworm soil: soil in a ratio of 1:3. During the growing period, you can use decomposed liquid fertilizer, such as cake fertilizer, chicken manure fertilizer or liquid fertilizer made from kitchen waste. It must be fully decomposed, otherwise it will easily burn the roots. You can also use compound fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer. During the peak growth period, apply liquid fertilizer once every 15-20 days.
