How to Fertilize Blooming Flowers
- 1). Go to your local home and garden store and purchase a liquid fertilizer that is high in phosphorus. Almost all liquid fertilizers contain common nutrients including nitrogen and potassium. However, these nutrients do not encourage bloom production; they encourage foliage growth.
- 2). Mix 2 lbs. of mulch and 2 lbs. of peat moss into your soil. These organic substances will break down over time to provide extra nutrients and excellent soil drainage for your flowers.
- 3). Attach your liquid sprayer to your garden hose. Fill the sprayer with one part water and one part fertilizer.
- 4). Spray your flowers thoroughly. When you are finished applying the fertilizer-water mixture, the foliage of your flowers should be dripping with the solution.
- 5). Reapply liquid fertilizer as directed on its label.
