The end of spring and the beginning of summer are the best fertilization time for endless summer. The slow-release fertilizer with the ratio of N, P and K of 1:4:1 can be used in the endless summer planted in the field; besides the slow-release fertilizer, the liquid fertilizer should be added in the growth season of the endless summer planted in the pot. The principle of fertilization is to apply thin fertilizer frequently to avoid fertilizer damage, and stop fertilization after entering the dormancy period in winter.

Fertilization time

The best fertilization time for endless summer is spring and summer, the first two seasons are late spring and early summer. Applying enough fertilizer in these two seasons has a crucial influence on the growth and flowering quality of the plant. However, when winter comes, plants will enter the dormancy period, at this time, we need to temporarily stop using flower fertilizer, so as to avoid unnecessary damage to plants.

What fertilizer

Endless summer can be cultivated in two ways: land cultivation and pot culture. The two methods need different fertilizers. The plants planted on the land are most suitable for slow-release fertilizer containing appropriate amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, of which the ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements is best set at about 1:4:1; while the plants growing in the tile basin should not only apply the slow-release fertilizer mentioned above daily, but also remember to add liquid fertilizer in the growth season. In addition, we need to pay attention to the quality of fertilizer is also very important, low quality fertilizer not only can not give plants the nutrients they need, but will cause damage to it

How much fertilizer

No matter what kind of fertilizer is applied, it should not be used too much in any season. Because if excessive use, it will accelerate the growth of old leaves and the rapid emergence of new leaves. The nutrients occupied by leaves will be more and more; on the contrary, the nutrients supplied to flower buds will be less and less. In the long run, the number of flower buds is less and less, so it can not achieve the purpose of viewing. In addition, we need to reiterate that it is not suitable to apply fertilizer in winter. If the growers are not sure, they can use micro fertilizer, but they should not apply more.

A beautiful summer never ends
