Which flowers are suitable for cake fertilizer (what kind of cake fertilizer is used for flowers)

First of all, I can tell you clearly that most of the flowers and plants we care for on a daily basis can be topdressed with cake fertilizer water.

It is an organic fertilizer liquid with a relatively high nitrogen content. After being applied to flowers, trees and green plants, it can promote the growth of strong and dark green stems and leaves of the plants, and the growth of roots and leaf buds will be more luxuriant.

Effects of applying cake fertilizer and water on flowers

In fact, the so-called "cake fertilizer water" refers to organic fertilizer water made from cake residue.

For example, soybean cake, cottonseed cake, tea seed cake, peanut cake, etc., generally need to be fermented for 2 to 3 months before they can be used. When applying topdressing to flowers and plants, water must be added to dilute it to a certain multiple to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Generally speaking, it is advisable to dilute it by 20 to 30 times, or even more. When using it, it is usually necessary to clarify the cake fertilizer water dilution and remove the residue before applying it.

Timely application of cake fertilizer water is a prerequisite for ensuring that flowers and plants grow strong, leaves are bright in color, and flowers and plants grow luxuriantly. Cake fertilizer water is mainly a fertilizer rich in nitrogen .

It can promote rapid growth of flowers and make the leaves dark green. The seedling stage of flowers and green plants and foliage flowers should be mainly topdressed with nitrogen fertilizer, which is usually applied from spring to early summer. Nitrogen fertilizer is even more indispensable during the nutritional growth period of flowers and green plants.

However, before the flowers enter the dormant period and reproductive growth period, the application of cake fertilizer water should be stopped to avoid fertilizer damage and excessive growth of stems and leaves, making it difficult to form buds and bloom.

Issues that should be paid attention to when applying cake fertilizer and water

1) Fertilize according to different growth stages

Most flowers prefer light fertilizers, and few prefer thick fertilizers. Although jasmine likes thick fertilizers, it can only be fertilized in the dog days, with strong sunlight and heavy watering.

If you apply concentrated fertilizer as soon as the jasmine is taken out of the house in spring, it will be bad. At this time, the jasmine has not yet fully entered the period of vigorous tree growth, and heavy fertilizer will definitely cause root burn and seedling death.

Chrysanthemums also like a lot of fertilizer, but in the early stages of growth, if too much nitrogen fertilizer is applied, it will cause excessive growth and make it difficult to form flower buds.

Flowers that prefer acidic soil, such as gardenia, azalea, camellia, jasmine, etc. , need to be topdressed with germination fertilizer before they sprout in early spring to promote the enlargement of buds and rapid germination.

2) Loosen the soil before applying fertilizer and water

In order to promote the rapid penetration of fertilizer and water so that the roots of flowers can absorb them easily and fully, the planting soil of the plants should be loosened before applying cake fertilizer and water to the flowers.

The purpose of doing this is to make the soil loose and breathable, which is conducive to the rapid penetration of cake fertilizer water into the soil, which is conducive to the full absorption by the roots of flowers.

3) Avoid using only cake fertilizer and water

The application of cake fertilizer water in combination with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can improve fertilizer efficiency; the application of organic fertilizers in combination with inorganic fertilizers can prolong fertilizer efficiency; and commonly used organic fertilizers can also prevent the potting soil from becoming compacted and airtight, and improve soil ventilation, water infiltration, water retention, and fertilizer retention properties.

This is much better for the growth, development, bud formation and flowering of flowers than using only inorganic fertilizers or applying only organic fertilizer liquid.
