Complex fertilizers consist of several mineral substances that provide plants with the necessary nutrition for active growth and beautiful flowering. As a rule, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus underlie such dressings. Most complex fertilizers are presented in liquid form, they are diluted with water and used for root and leaf color processing. That is, the drugs begin to work immediately after application.
The action of granular fertilizers
For a more prolonged action of useful microelements, complex fertilizers for indoor flowers are produced in granular form. They need to be made directly into the soil, not previously dissolved in water.
The advantage and peculiarity of the action of such drugs is that the nutrients reach the plants gradually as the granules dissolve. This almost completely eliminates the possibility of burning the root system of flowers as a result of overdose.
Depending on air temperature and abundance of moisture, plants receive the necessary amount of minerals in small doses. When the temperature in the room decreases, the need of colors for microelements, which also cease to be intensively released from the granules, decreases.
A single application of granules allows you to provide flowers with nutrition for at least 2 months, which is very convenient.
