A MISUNDERSTOOD ELEMENT 



Phosphorus has often been a misunderstood 

 element In plant nutrition. "Sufficient phosphorus 

 Is necessary for flower bud development and general 

 flowering," is a statement accepted as fact. The 

 problem comes up when someone asks, "How much 

 Is sufficient?" 



What's developed over the last forty years Is a 

 theory that more phosphorus develops more buds. 

 Wrong!! If the plant is deficient. It will respond to an 

 addition of phosphorous. But — there Is no correlation 

 between high levels of phosphorus and budding. 

 There is no documented evidence that supports this 

 claim. 



A plant's nutritional requirements vary, depending 

 on Its stage of growth. Keeping sufficient nutrients 

 available for its use will let the plant take In what- 

 ever It requires whenever it needs It. What's left wlU 

 leach out of the pot or move out of the available 

 root zone. In essence, it's wasted. 



Environment is a much larger factor In bud set. 

 Temperature, water management, pruning or pinch- 

 ing, the age of the plant — all affect bud set. If you 

 can adjust any of these factors, you will have more 

 success than If you simply add phosphorus. ^
