  2. Check Regularly: Monitor the water level and refill as needed, typically every 1-2 weeks depending on the plant's needs.
  3. Seasonal Adjustments: During winter, reduce the frequency of refilling as plants generally require less water.

These guides will help your customers maintain the right water levels for their self-watering pots, ensuring their plants remain healthy and thriving.

 

what is meant by fertilizer?

Fertilizer is a substance that is added to soil or plant tissues to supply essential nutrients for the growth and development of plants. It typically contains a mix of the primary macronutrients—nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K)—as well as other nutrients like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, molybdenum, and boron. Fertilizers can be organic (derived from plant or animal matter) or synthetic (chemically manufactured).

Types of Fertilizers:

  • Organic Fertilizers:

    • Compost
    • Manure
    • Bone meal
    • Fish emulsion

  • Synthetic Fertilizers:

    • Granular fertilizers
    • Liquid fertilizers
    • Slow-release fertilizers

Common Fertilizer Forms:

  • Granular: Dry pellets that are spread on the soil surface or mixed into the soil.
  • Liquid: Concentrated liquids that are diluted with water and applied directly to the soil or as a foliar spray.
  • Slow-release: Encapsulated nutrients that release gradually over time, reducing the frequency of application.

Nutrient Functions:

  • Nitrogen (N): Promotes leaf and stem growth. Essential for photosynthesis and chlorophyll production.
  • Phosphorus (P): Supports root development, flowering, and fruiting. Vital for energy transfer within the plant.
  • Potassium (K): Enhances overall plant health, disease resistance, and water regulation. Important for enzyme activation and photosynthesis.

Application Tips:

  • Frequency: Follow the recommended application rate and frequency on the fertilizer packaging. Over-fertilizing can damage plants.
  • Timing: Apply during the growing season when plants are actively growing. Avoid fertilizing during dormancy.
  • Method: Ensure even distribution and proper dilution if using liquid fertilizers. Water plants after applying granular fertilizers to help nutrients penetrate the soil.

Using the right type and amount of fertilizer helps plants grow healthy, strong, and productive.
