Here’s a solid tip that works for most flowering plants, especially fruit trees and ornamentals:
🌸 Tip: Feed at the Right Time with the Right Nutrients
To increase blooms and keep your plant healthy:
-
Use a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer (like 5-10-10 or 0-10-10) just before and during the flowering period. Phosphorus supports flower production, while too much nitrogen promotes leaf growth at the expense of flowers.
-
Apply compost or worm castings to improve overall soil health and microbial life.
Bonus Practices:
-
Deadhead spent flowers – Removes old blooms so the plant keeps producing more.
-
Ensure full sun – Most flowering plants need at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
-
Proper watering – Deep, infrequent watering encourages strong roots; avoid overwatering.
-
Prune wisely – Remove weak, dead, or crossing branches to boost airflow and flower bud formation.
-
Mulch – Helps retain moisture, regulate soil temp, and reduce weed competition.
