How to fertilize the fortune tree
As a star player in home green plants, Fortune Tree not only symbolizes good fortune, but its tall and straight tree posture has become the darling of modern home decoration. However, during the maintenance process, improper fertilization often leads to problems such as withered leaves and rotten roots. This article will systematically analyze the nutritional management tips of Fortune Tree from scientific fertilization methods to fertilizer treatment skills. Scientific fertilization of Fortune Tree three-step base fertilizer lays the foundation for maintenance. When transplanting or changing pots, it is recommended to use the ratio of decomposed sheep manure and peat soil in a ratio of 1:10 as the substrate. Adding 2 kg of bone meal to each cubic meter of soil can provide calcium and phosphorus nutrition for the plants for 3 months. Never use undecomposed chicken manure. The heat generated by fermentation can reach 60 ° C, which can easily cause root burning. Top dressing grasps the growth rhythm during the growth season from May to September, the "sandwich" fertilization method is used: first dig a 3cm shallow ditch along the edge of the pot, sprinkle 10 grains of slow-release fertilizer, cover 1cm of plain soil, and then irrigate it with water. It is recommended to use controlled-release fertilizer with N-P-K=15-5-10 and replenish foliar fertilizer (0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution) every 15 days. Supplements to meet special needs. When yellowing occurs between the veins of new leaves, 5g of ferrous sulfate can be buried along the edge of the pot. 20 days before the winter dormancy period, high potassium fertilizer (N-P-K=5-10-15) is applied to enhance cold resistance, and the amount is controlled at 1/3 of the conventional fertilizer application. Emergency treatment plan for over-fertilization. After the leaf edges are found to be scorched, they are immediately irrigated with warm water at 40 ° C for three consecutive times, with an interval of 15 minutes each time. Tilt the flowerpot 45 degrees high, and wrap the pot bottom with a water-absorbing cotton cloth to accelerate drainage. Maintain ventilation and avoid direct sunlight for 72 hours. Root repair and pot replacement requires "surgical" treatment: after cutting off the black roots, soak them in 0.01% potassium permanganate solution for 30 minutes. The newly prepared substrate uses coconut bran: perlite: vermiculite =6:3:1. After changing the pot, bag and moisturize for 7 days, and gradually increase the ventilation time. Guidelines for Fertilization Protection of Fortune Tree Safe Distance Control Solid fertilizer should be applied in a ring 5 cm away from the main stem, and liquid fertilizer should be slowly watered along the edge of the pot. There are no less than 4 fertilization points for flowerpots with a diameter of 30cm to form a uniform nutrient circle. Maintain an atomization distance of 20cm when spraying on the leaves to avoid droplet aggregation. Seasonal adjustment strategy Fertilization interval is 10-15 days in spring and autumn, shortened to 7-10 days in summer, and stopped in winter. When the ambient temperature is lower than 15℃, fertilization should be stopped even if the plants grow. When the air humidity is greater than 80%, use water-soluble fertilizers instead of solid fertilizers.
After mastering these fertilization tips, you will find that the germination speed of new leaves of Fortune Tree has increased by 40%, and the oil brightness of the leaves has increased significantly. Special reminders are to avoid moving the flowerpot within 24 hours after fertilization, and perform daily maintenance operations after the roots have fully absorbed (S-Y) points. Prevention is always better than treatment. Establishing a fertilization log to record the amount and time each time is the ultimate magic weapon to create an evergreen tree.
