Fertilizer application method for sub-wax wood
As a good ornamental product among fleshy plants, its fertilization management directly affects the aesthetics of plant type and disease resistance. Scientific fertilization requires adjusting nutrient supply strategies based on the characteristics of different growth stages of plants and combined with soil substrates. This paper will systematically analyze the key points of full-cycle management of wax wood fertilization from base fertilizer allocation to seasonal maintenance. The core points of waxy wood fertilization are planted and base fertilizer configuration plan. It is recommended to use the gold ratio of peat soil: garden soil: perlite =5:3:2 for the substrate in the upper basin. Add 5-8g of bone meal or 10g of plant ash per liter of substrate as the base fertilizer. Special attention should be paid to fully mix the fertilizer with the soil to avoid direct contact of the root system with high-concentration fertilizer layers. Adding vermiculite can enhance the permeability of the substrate and prevent fertilizer damage caused by standing water. Nutritional replenishment in the growing season, apply decomposed soybean cake water diluted 2000 times or water-soluble fertilizer N-P-K=10-10 -10 every 15-20 days in spring and summer. It is recommended to adopt the principle of "applying thin fertilizer frequently" and cooperate with permeable irrigation within 24 hours after fertilization. If there are signs of fertilizer damage such as scorched leaf margins, immediately wash the substrate with clean water for 3 consecutive times and suspend fertilization for 15 days. The key point of maintenance during the dormant period is when the temperature is below 15℃ and enters the dormant period, it is necessary to completely stop fertilization and reduce the amount of watering by 50%. At this stage, potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer (concentration of 0.1%) can be sprayed once a month to enhance cold resistance. When the temperature rises above 18℃ in the spring of the following year, EM bacterial solution is applied once to activate the roots, and then routine fertilization is gradually resumed. Advanced maintenance techniques suggest replacing pots every 2 years to supplement slow-release fertilizer granules, and using long-term formulas such as Aolu 318s. In the rainy season, special attention should be paid to the maturity of organic fertilizers. Fertilizers that are not fully fermented can easily cause root rot. Regularly test the soil EC value and keep the substrate conductivity between 1.2 and 1.8mS/cm.
Master the spatio-temporal laws of fertilization of Waxwood, and adjust the plan in time based on changes in plant morphology. It is recommended to establish a fertilization log to record the time, type and plant response of each fertilization, and form a personalized maintenance plan through data accumulation so that the wax wood can always maintain its best viewing state.
