People do add extra growing material, right from base growth
of plants. Then also many nurseries over feed the plants to force blooms and
when you get these plants at home you wait and wait and no blooms! There is a string tendency with gardeners to
get flowers fast and huge sized flowers. Of course I understand the
commercial gardeners who want to see
flowers and they do need flowers of good size and plenty but even new gardeners
bring plants and then want to see flowers within month or some weeks.
Yes, you see fast
blooms depending upon the maturity and
age of the plant you have bought.
And also the genes of the plant
you have brought. Hence I always advise to buy saplings with some buds or
flowers on it.Understanding the feng shuii garden
How much to add, what
to add and when to add for flowering in newly planted plants
Before planting make the soil rich with added nutrients. You
get ready mixes that are good to be added to soil. Don’t add too much a few
layers along with soil is good as the saplings are delicate and too much of
anything is not good. I had lost an Anant plant, gardenia, like this as the fertiliser was too much and
the healthy plant shrivelled and it did not like the feeding. I did not realise
the cause then so many years back, but now I know, fertiliser is good for your
plants but always in the right proportion. We also lost hibiscus and I just
managed to save my Adenium, I never add any feeding to my Adenium, Rhizomes and
bulbs plants flower with seasonal heat during summers naturally.
So since then I always go with cowdung and we also get ready
cakes but if you can get it from local place it is good. Then we also get some
ready mixes that are good, in plant nurseries, for protection from pests and
flowering. Roses love these ready mixes if you want to add feedings.
Planting new saplings do the layering trick, it helps.
Instead of adding fertiliser to total soil, layering helps.
Check these! Why you must remove plastic
bags from new saplings
I usually never do this, except for the enrichment of soil,
because I always feel plants must grow naturally and if they get used to artificial
feedings it is artificially jacked up flowering and, somehow I am not
comfortable with this. When the soil looks dull and you see growth becomes
slower or plants look dull, then add some feedings. Before summers and after winters some feedings are required to enrich
the soil.
Yes, I love the seed balls and cowdung, that is great
natural fertiliser and shows fast results too enriching the soil. Then we have
used tea leaves, these are Awesum for roses. And of course egg shells, again
these work wonders for roses. My mogra plants and roses never required any
additional feedings, actually I think it is the sunlight they get on our
terrace garden and that is really very important for healthy growth of plants
and flowering in plants. Choose the right spot and then proper careful
watering, actually more watering helps my plants be healthy. Well draining
soil.

Read the instructions carefully on the containers and
packets of ready fertilisers. Go with your gut and always use sparingly rather
than more of any feedings. It is not
true that if you add more fertilizers you will get large and more flowers or
bigger flowers. In fact many times people lose their plants with over does of
feedings of wrong fertilisers. Now if I do, I usually add up little at times
and see how the plant reacts, this has come after losing many precious ones and
doing this so many times, yes of course , the temptation and greed to get
flowers fast and large sized blooms comes with every gardener!
Also dilute it, like most additions are to be added diluted
in water. Again remember less is more.
If you want to add fertilisers and artificial feedings check
the ingredients in the mixture. As I have read many different plants require
different proportions of nutrients for
flowering and growth. And I feel this all is ok for professional flower
growers, their income is on this, but for us, I want to wait, I want to expect,
I want to be ecstatic on the fresh bud appearances and then I want to dance
with joy with blooms!

Remember to give them lots of love with sunlight and proper
watering, and as I do, no routines, some
unexpected feedings treats, natural are better, they will be happy and bless
you with Awesum blooms!
