Although the succulent plants originally grew in the poor desert area, there was not much demand for nutrients. If fertilization is not enough, it is likely to cause slow growth. The time of fertilization varies according to the species. Fertilization is applied in May for those growing in summer and September for those growing in winter.
1. Fertilizer selection: generally, it is better to choose compound fertilizer with the proportion of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium close to each other. Because the root system of fleshy is relatively fragile and can not stand the thick fertilizer, it must be diluted before fertilization. Can also choose slow-release fertilizer, so that the effect of fertility slow, its growth will not cause a burden.
2. Base fertilizer preparation: when planting more meat, appropriate base fertilizer is more helpful for its growth. Generally, we use plant ashes, bone meal or rotten animal manure, etc. these fertilizers should be mixed in the basin soil, and the amount should not be too much
3. Top dressing method: appropriate top dressing is required in the growth period. Fertilize once every half a month for the fast growing and once a month for the slow growing. Do not water before fertilization, wait until the basin soil is dry, loosen the soil properly, and then apply fertilizer, so that the root can absorb more.
