Green radish is a common indoor leaf-viewing plant. It is popular among many plant lovers because of its shade resistance and ease of feeding. Appropriate fertilization is indispensable to make the leaves of green radish greener and more vibrant. What kind of fertilizer will the leaves of green radish be better? This article will provide you with detailed answers. Basic principles of fertilizing green radish Before fertilizing green radish, we must first understand the basic principles of fertilizing green radish. Green radish is suitable for using compound fertilizers with moderate nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents. Avoid using high-nitrogen or high-phosphorus fertilizers to avoid causing leaves to grow or root rot. 1. Easily absorbed liquid fertilizer Liquid fertilizer is the first choice for fertilizing green radish due to its high solubility and rapid absorption. Common liquid fertilizers include nutrient solutions, foliar fertilizers, etc. The nutrient solutions contain Rich elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can promote the growth of green radish, while foliar fertilizers can be sprayed directly on the leaves to quickly replenish nutrients.
2. Organic fertilizers Organic fertilizers, such as decomposed chicken manure, cow dung, cake fertilizer, etc., are rich in organic matter and trace elements, which help the growth of green radish. When applying organic fertilizers, pay attention to full decomposition and avoid burning roots.
3. Water-soluble fertilizer Water-soluble fertilizer is a new type of fertilizer that has the characteristics of fast fertilizer efficiency and high utilization rate. During the vigorous growth period of green radish, water-soluble fertilizer can be appropriately applied to supplement nutrients. Time and method for fertilizing green radish 1. Fertilization time The time for fertilizing green radish is generally selected during the period of vigorous growth, that is, from late spring to early autumn. During this period, green radish has a strong absorption capacity and a better fertilization effect.
2. Fertilization method (1) Liquid fertilizer: After diluting the fertilizer, spray it evenly on the leaves, or directly irrigate the soil.
(2) Organic fertilizer: Sprinkle organic fertilizer on the soil surface and then turn it into the soil.
(3) Water-soluble fertilizer: After diluting it according to the proportion specified in the instructions, water the soil. Precautions for fertilizing green radish 1. The amount of fertilizer should not be too much to avoid causing fertilizer damage.
2. Keep the soil moist after fertilization, which is conducive to fertilizer absorption.

What kind of fertilizer should green radish apply to its leaves? The answer is liquid fertilizer, organic fertilizer and water-soluble fertilizer. During the fertilization process, pay attention to selecting the right fertilizer, reasonably control the amount of fertilization, and follow the correct fertilization method. In this way, your green radish leaves will be green.
