What fertilizer does winter jasmine need?

1. The amount of fertilizer required by forsythia is not large, but it cannot grow without fertilizer. It is best to use organic compound fertilizer. Organic fertilizer contains a large amount of humic acid and organic matter, which can provide nutrients for the growth of forsythia for a long time. The stems and branches of forsythia can be thick, the leaves can be thick, the leaves are tender green and shiny, and the flowering period is long and early.

2. Before the forsythia blooms, appropriately increase the amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers applied to promote the differentiation of flower buds and make the flowers more numerous and colorful when they bloom. Stop fertilizing when they bloom, cut off the dead branches in time after the flowers bloom, and apply dilute liquid fertilizer.

Fertilization method for jasmine:

1. Forsythia requires a small amount of fertilizer, so only a small amount of fertilizer is needed. If too much fertilizer is applied, the Forsythia will have fewer branches and sparse flowers.

2. Fertilize forsythia once every two months, and stop fertilizing during the growing and dormant periods of forsythia.

3. You can use the hole-fertilization or spraying method. Dig a hole 2 to 3 cm away from the roots of the forsythia, put the organic fertilizer in, cover it with soil, or dilute the organic fertilizer with water into liquid fertilizer, and spray it directly on the soil surface or the leaves of the plant.
