Before the cucurbit seeds are sown in the flowerpot, a layer of organic fertilizer should be applied at the bottom of the pot soil, mainly to mix some animal manure and other fertilizers, plus some compound fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are placed under the flowerpot soil after mixing, called base fertilizer, which is an important nutrient for the growth of seeds after germination.
After the seedling stage, the cucurbit plants begin to grow faster. Basically, they change one day at a time. At this time, a lot of water and fertilizer must be supplied. So you can add some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. The dosage is determined by the size of the flowerpot, the number and density of the plants. Generally, the amount at this time will be more than that at the seedling stage. However, because the soil in the flowerpot is less, you should pay attention to it. Apply too much fertilizer carefully to burn the root system of the plant, causing adverse effects.
When flowering, not only the water content should be reduced in time, but also the fertilizer should not be added too much for the time being. After the short flowering, the most critical period of fertilizer supply is
Whether the gourd is full, smooth or dry and rough depends on the supply of water and fertilizer at this time. Generally, at this time, in addition to the fertilizer mentioned above, some nitrogen fertilizer should be added, so that the nutrition supply of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is sufficient to grow a small gourd that is large and beautiful. However, one thing is that when applying nitrogen fertilizer, it needs to be deeply buried in the soil of the flower pot, and the root system should not be directly contacted.
