How to fertilize potted ranunculus

Base fertilizer

You can apply base fertilizer before planting plants, but pay attention to the combination of fertilizers. You can choose bone meal or bean cake, but don’t use too much base fertilizer.

Do not fertilize the newly planted plants. Wait until they germinate after planting and then apply light fertilizer. Fertilize before and after the flowering period. Let's take a closer look at the fertilization conditions at different times:

Before planting

Before this, the plant's demand for nutrients is not high, so there is no need to apply fertilizer to avoid fertilizer damage and harm to the plant. The plants are very fragile at this time.

After planting

After planting, the plants will begin to grow, and the demand for nutrients will gradually increase. At this time, it is necessary to ensure sufficient nutrients to allow it to grow better. Fertilization can be done once a week, and the concentration of fertilizer should be light rather than high.

Before flowering

Before the flowers bloom, in addition to providing sufficient water, they also need to apply appropriate fertilizers. Fertilize once a week and spray fertilizer every 3 to 5 days until flower buds appear.

Bud stage

Nutrients are also essential during the bud period, and fertilization should be done once a week.

After the flowers fade

After the flowers fade, in order to harvest the plant's tubers for reproduction and make the tubers grow fuller and stronger, you can apply fertilizer once or twice.

Precautions

In rainy weather, apply fertilizer in small amounts or stop fertilizing.

The concentration of fertilizer must be dilute, and the fertilizer must be well-mixed and applied appropriately.
