Basal fertilizer is usually applied in spring when the money tree is potted.Then, during its growing period, it needs to be fertilized 2-3 times a month so that the plant can grow better.Fertilizer can be supplemented once before winter to improve the cold resistance of plants so that they can survive the winter better.When winter comes, there is no need to fertilize, otherwise it will cause fertilizer damage and affect the development of plants.
The choice of fertilizer for the money tree varies according to the time period.For example, base fertilizer is mostly used as cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer, and compound fertilizer must be slow-release type, so as to provide nutrients continuously.Wait until the growth period, the need for a comprehensive supplement of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, generally with urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
Different types of fertilizers are applied in different ways.The base fertilizer is usually a solid fertilizer, which needs to be buried at the bottom of the pot soil so that it can take effect slowly.During the growing period, liquid fertilizer is usually supplemented, which can be directly irrigated and easily absorbed by roots.If it is solid fertilizer, it needs to be buried in the soil, but away from the roots, so as not to cause burns.
Pay attention to the concentration when fertilizing the money tree.For example, the concentration of urea should be maintained at about 0.2%, and the concentration of potassium dihydrogen phosphate should be 0.1%, so that the effect of mixing the two will be better.If the concentration is too high, some elements exceed the standard, often affecting plant development.For example, too much nitrogen can lead to excessive growth, affect its beauty, and may also lodge.
