How long can I fertilize a succulent plant after being moved into a pot? Fertilization skills Succulent plants are loved by more and more plant lovers because of their unique shape and easy-to-maintain characteristics. In the process of maintaining succulent plants, moving pots and Fertilization are two important links. How long can I fertilize a succulent plant after being moved into a pot? This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the fertilization time and maintenance skills after moving the meat into the pot. How long can you apply fertilizer after the transfer of meat to the pot 1. It is not advisable to apply fertilizer to the pot 1-2 weeks after the transfer of the pot. After the transfer of the pot, the root system will be damaged to a certain extent. At this stage, the plant's absorption capacity is weak. If fertilizer is applied at this time, it may cause fertilizer to burn the root system and affect the growth of the plant. It is recommended not to apply fertilizer for 1-2 weeks after the transfer of the pot.
2. Fertilization begins 3-4 weeks after the pot transfer. When the roots of succulent plants return to normal, fertilization can begin. Normally, the growth rate of the plants will gradually accelerate 3-4 weeks after the pot transfer. Fertilization helps replenish the nutrients needed by the plants, but it should be noted that the amount of fertilization should be appropriately reduced to avoid causing fertilizer damage. 1. Choosing the right fertilizer Succulent plants have relatively low demand for fertilizer, so special succulent plant fertilizers should be chosen. There are many fertilizers developed for succulent plants on the market, such as organic fertilizers and water-soluble fertilizers. When purchasing fertilizers, pay attention to the composition and content of the fertilizer to ensure that the growth needs of the plant are met.
2. Control the frequency of fertilization. Succulent plants have limited ability to absorb fertilizer, so the frequency of fertilization should not be too high. Fertilizing 1-2 times a month can be used. During the period of vigorous growth, the number of fertilization can be appropriately increased, and during the period of slow growth, reduce Fertilization frequency.
3. Fertilization method When applying fertilizer, you can evenly sprinkle the fertilizer on the soil surface, and then gently spray it with a spray kettle to mix the fertilizer with the soil. Be careful not to sprinkle the fertilizer directly on the plant leaves to avoid causing fertilizer damage.
4. Fertilization time The best time to fertilize is in the morning or evening. At this time, the temperature is suitable, which is conducive to plants absorbing nutrients. Avoid fertilizing during the high temperature period at noon to avoid burning plant leaves.
How long after succulent plants can be fertilized after being moved is a matter of concern. Under normal circumstances, fertilization should not be used within 1-2 weeks after being moved, and fertilization should start after 3-4 weeks. During the fertilization process, appropriate fertilizers should be selected. Control fertilization frequency and pay attention to fertilization methods to ensure the healthy growth of succulent plants.
