Fertika Lux and Kristalon - universal fertilizers for seedlings, flowers and vegetables

Granules

The fertilizer, compressed into small granules, is very convenient to use - it does not require dilution or preparation. They are either scattered over the surface of the soil in a certain place, or buried to a shallow depth and watered. The release of nutrients occurs gradually, so granular fertilizers are classified as long-acting products.

The ratio of the main chemicals depends on the type of plant and their percentage is indicated on the packaging. Different packaging: 1; 2.5; 5; 10, 25 kg.

• from the first ten days of May to the first ten days of July, fertilizing of all crops grown in greenhouse conditions and in vegetable beds or gardens is carried out;
• throughout the year - when growing indoor and balcony plants (from sowing seeds to growing seedlings and subsequent care of adult plants).

Water soluble

Preparations in the form of coarse powder quickly dissolve in water, are used for root (watering at the root) and foliar feeding (spraying), can be combined with pesticides, and added to tank mixtures. A distinctive feature is a special chelated form of nutrients. Chelates are close in structure to the structure in which the substances are in their natural state, so they are absorbed by plants several times better than mineral fertilizers.

Fertika Lux: reviews on the use of fertilizer for plants

Olga, 45 years old, Vologda region: Until 2011, I actively used Kemira to fertilize my vegetables. When they stopped producing this fertilizer, I was very upset, because this fertilizer completely suited me - after using it, my vegetables grew by leaps and bounds. But then my gardening neighbors told me that instead of my favorite fertilizer, Fertika is produced, which has the same positive qualities as Kemira. Now I use this fertilizer every year in my vegetable beds.

Natalya, 50 years old, Moscow region: I use fertilizer to fertilize my indoor plants, of which I have a lot. The positive effect of this fertilizer on my indoor flowers is especially noticeable - their petals have become more intensely colored, and the flowering period has increased. Now I can’t imagine growing flowers without Fertika Lux fertilizer. I recommend to all!

Despite the fact that “Kemira” was transformed into “Fertika”, this did not affect the quality of the fertilizer in any way - the new fertilizer is prepared from the same raw materials, according to European standards, and it also has a large number of positive qualities,

thanks to which it remains popular among Russian summer residents, Fertika is also used when growing vegetables and other cultivated plants on an industrial scale.

Fertika: composition and application of fertilizer

Since the Fertika Lux fertilizer contains all the necessary elements for the active growth of cultivated plants, and the product itself is used sparingly when applied to the soil, summer residents from different Russian regions immediately drew attention to Fertika. According to their reviews, after applying diluted Fertika to vegetable or garden crops, plants quickly grow, and weak ones become stronger in a few days.

Fertika Lux contains:

• 20.6% phosphorus;
• 27.1% potassium;
• 16% nitrogen;
• 0.1% manganese;
• 0.02% boron;
• 0.1% iron;
• 0.01% copper;
• 0.002% molybdenum;
• 0.01% zinc.

Nitrogen

It is necessary for plants in order to activate the process of photosynthesis in the aboveground part, and it also helps to accelerate the growth of vegetative mass.
Thanks to phosphorus
, the root system actively develops and also absorbs nutrients from the soil faster.
Thanks to potassium,
plants form more buds and ovaries, fruits develop better, and their taste improves.

Since potassium is the main element in fertilizing, because the active flowering and productivity of cultivated plants depends on it, therefore, in the composition of all varieties of Fertika, the percentage of this element is the highest.

Important!

Fertika Lux contains no chlorine!

Fertilizer for seedlings:
Athlete

• this fertilizer is also used as a growth stimulator when growing seedlings of vegetable and flower crops.

Important!

Since Fertika is quite expensive, its solution is usually used as a foliar feeding - for spraying foliage and bushes.

Reviews

Galina Yurievna, Perm

I like that you can choose Fertika for both vegetables and flowers. Personally, I have been using it for a long time for tomatoes, roses, violets, and I use the universal one to water the flowers in the flowerbed and various indoor plants. The main thing is that the instructions indicate how to prepare it and how often to use it. I don’t combine it with other fertilizers. It seems to me that the composition is balanced and Fertika is enough.

Pavla, s. Olkhovka

For seedlings of vegetables and flowers I use Fertika Lux 1 and the same for feeding flowers, but only with a different composition (especially for flowers). The seedlings, if everything is taken into account, grow strong and take root well after picking. I only water it once every 10 days, and not every 7, as recommended. My soil is fertile, so I don’t overdo it. Garden flowers like spraying. The foliage becomes somehow saturated, they bloom for a long time. I spray either early in the morning or late in the evening.

Reviews

Flower growers often use Epin for violets; reviews of its use are overwhelmingly positive.

Alina, Moscow. “I use Epin as an aid in stress, to increase resistance to diseases (for example, frost, resuscitation).”

Egor, Ekaterinburg. “Zircon is good in stressful situations - transplantation, pests, improper care. The effect is clearly visible. But I didn’t see any changes at all from epin. It is probably softer for prevention. And I read that it is not absorbed by the roots, that is, it makes no sense to water it.”

Sugar

Often inexperienced gardeners are interested in the question of whether violets can be fed with sugar. It is possible and even necessary. This is a wonderful natural supplement if it is not possible to purchase professional care.

It is believed that if you feed plants with sugar in winter, this will compensate for the lack of ultraviolet radiation in flowers , and therefore improves plant photosynthesis.

Features and properties of glucose

Glucose is a source of energy, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. This way the flowers develop and reproduce much more actively.

Feeding frequency

It is necessary to feed with sugar at the same frequency as with a classic biologically active fertilizer:

• in spring and summer - no more than 1-2 times a month;
• in the cold season - at least 1 time per week.

Advantages and disadvantages

One of the main advantages is that the ingredients for such a sweet top dressing can be found in every home.

Among the disadvantages is the fact that before using such complementary foods, it is necessary to thoroughly study the reaction of your flower to sugar or glucose. Otherwise, feeding indoor plants with sugar is an excellent option for caring for your green pets.

Violets respond well to feeding with sugar.

Instructions for use

To prepare such a sweet cocktail, just pour 1 teaspoon of sugar into a flower pot , then pour plenty of water.

There is also another feeding option. To prepare it, 1-2 tablets of pure glucose must be dissolved in 1 liter of water. Spray the violet leaves with the resulting mixture.

Valeria, Saratov. “Sugar feeding actually helps a lot. Thanks for the advice. I’m very pleased.”
