What kind of fertilizer is good for strawberries?

Strawberries in winter are bright and eye-catching. How to grow strawberries well in winter - The North American Federation believes that if you want strawberries to grow well, you must know more about growing strawberries. Relevant knowledge, especially during the flowering period of strawberries, you must fertilize properly, especially phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. Specifically, as stated by Haochong Fertilizer Manufacturer:

Strawberries bloom and bear fruit continuously. During the flowering and fruiting period, once there is a lack of phosphorus, Potassium will reduce cold resistance, cause less flowering and weak flower buds, which will affect flowering and fruiting. Not only is the fruit setting rate low, but it also has poor coloring, reduced sugar content, bland taste, is easily rotten and cannot be stored and kept fresh. Therefore, during the flowering and fruiting period of strawberries, attention should be paid to increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to prevent strawberry plants from being deficient in phosphorus and potassium. The specific fertilization method is as follows:

During the flowering and fruiting period of strawberries, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers must be applied to the roots every 15 to 20 days, with 40 to 50 kilograms of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per mu, or 70 to 80 kilograms of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per mu. Prepare decomposed beef bone meal or pig bone meal, dilute it 80 to 100 times with water, and apply it evenly to the soil around the roots of strawberry plants.

It is also necessary to spray 800 times of Xingpeng Phosphorus Potassium No. 1 aqueous solution every 7 to 10 days, or 25 to 30 times of superphosphate and clean and pure plant ash leaching clarification solution, evenly spray all leaves, For flower buds, flowers and fruits, it is advisable to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer from the leaves when water drops begin to drip down.

Strawberry belongs to the Rosaceae family and is native to Chile. The leaves are evergreen all year round, the flowers are white and elegant, and the fragrance is pleasant. The fruits are bright red and beautiful, which are both admirable and edible. They are suitable for growing in pots on the ground and are also a good choice for home flower cultivation.

Strawberry habits: Sun-loving, cold-tolerant, afraid of drought, avoid water accumulation, like to grow in moist environment and loose, fertile,

well-drained sandy soil. Avoid alkaline or heavy clay soil. In the Jiangnan area, young plants are cut and planted separately in summer and autumn. New leaves will grow early the next spring, and then small white flowers will bloom. The fruits will be edible from early May when they are ripe. The entire cycle from flowering to fruit ripening is 30 days - 40

days.

How to grow them in pots at home: After autumn, cut off the young strawberry plants like small spider plants that grow from the mother plant, and plant them in pots filled with culture soil. inside, and add organic fertilizer as base fertilizer. Then pour enough water and place it in a semi-shady place. After the pot is filled,

move to a balcony, platform or patio with light.

In terms of daily maintenance, the soil in the pot should be kept slightly moist at ordinary times. Avoid being too dry or too wet. Leaves that are too dry will easily wither and scorch, and too wet will easily cause root rot.

During the growth period in early spring, topdress once to twice to promote the growth of branches and leaves. In March before flowering, apply fertilizer mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium once to twice to encourage it to bloom and bear fruit. If there is insufficient fertilizer, it will be difficult to bloom and bear fruit (5 fruits per plant

--10). When watering and fertilizing, be careful not to splash the fertilizer on the flowers and fruits to prevent contamination. Flowers and fruits affect the quality. At the same time,

pay attention to the cleanliness of the environment and prevent snails, slugs and birds from eating the fruits.
