How much fertilizer to apply to potted strawberries

1. How much fertilizer to apply

The root system of strawberries is relatively shallow and they require a large amount of nutrients, so they are quite sensitive to fertilizer application. Therefore, proper fertilization must be ensured. The amount of fertilizer is not fixed, it needs to be determined according to the size of the flowerpot and the growth of the plant. If the flowerpot is small, the plant grows weakly and is malnourished, the base fertilizer should be sufficient, but less fertilizer should be applied during the growth process to ensure that sufficient nutrients are supplied. If the flowerpot is larger, the plant grows stronger and has better growth, then more fertilizer is needed and you can add more fertilizer appropriately.

2. What to do if you apply fertilizer improperly?

1. Too little fertilizer: If too little fertilizer is applied, the plant will not have enough nutrients to support its growth and will still show weak growth. In this case, a small amount of fertilizer can be given, and fertilizers with different elements can be given according to different growth stages.

2. Too much fertilizer: If you accidentally apply too much fertilizer, it may cause root burn and you need to stop fertilizing immediately. Pour an appropriate amount of water to dilute the fertilizer effect, and also allow excess fertilizer to flow out through the holes at the bottom of the pot. If you apply too much fertilizer, you can directly replace the potting soil with new one.
