Also called base fertilizer. The main function of basal fertilizer is to create conditions for the development of plants and meet their own needs for nutrients. The base fertilizer of Clivia is applied every 2 years when changing pots. Commonly used base fertilizers are: animal manure, green manure, compost, bean cake fertilizer, etc.
Mix the base fertilizer with the soil before planting.
Topdressing is carried out during plant growth. Commonly used fertilizers are: cake fertilizer, bone meal, fish meal, etc. With the growth of the plant age, the leaves grow up, and the nutrients needed by the plant increase. Timely fertilization is conducive to the growth of the plant.
When applying fertilizer, remove the basin soil for 2-3cm, apply fertilizer, and pay attention not to be too close to the root system, so as to avoid damaging the root. Usually once a month, the growth period can be appropriately reduced by 20 days.
In fact, liquid fertilizer does not need to buy professional fertilizer. It directly immerses the rotten manure of animals and plants. Its clear liquid can be mixed with water 20-40 times, depending on the size of seedlings.
After 1-2 days of fertilization, water should be poured once in order to infiltrate the liquid fertilizer into the root system and give full play to the fertilizer effect. Be careful not to water before applying fertilizer.
When the soil is short of nutrients and the growth of plants is slow, the method of applying fertilizer outside the roots should be adopted. Common fertilizers include urea, superphosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, etc.
When the fertilizer is diluted to a solution and sprayed directly on the leaves of the plant, the nutrient elements will penetrate into the plant through the leaves. When spraying, note that both sides of the blade should be uniformly sprayed. Generally, spray once every 4-6 days in the growing season, once every 10-15 days in the semi dormant state, after sunrise.
