Bilei drum fertilization method
As a highly ornamental variety in the succulent plant family, Bilei Drum is favored by gardening enthusiasts for its unique drum-shaped leaves. Scientific fertilization is the key to cultivating strong plants. This article will systematically explain the full-cycle fertilization management plan for Bilei Drum through six core points. The three golden rules for bileigu fertilization are recommended to use the "1+3" fertilization method: liquid fertilizer once a month combined with slow-release fertilizer once a quarter. In spring and autumn growing season, nitrogen phosphorus potassium balanced liquid fertilizer diluted 2000 times (EC value controlled at 0.8-1.2mS/cm) was used, and liquid fertilizer was stopped in winter dormancy period. It is suggested that the slow release fertilizer should be Aolv A2 type with 3 months aging, and the dosage per plant should not exceed 5g. When changing pots under nutrient management in special period, adding 5% decomposed sheep dung into substrate as basal fertilizer could make new roots absorb (S-Y) quickly. Fertilization should be suspended during high temperature period in summer (above 35℃) to avoid imbalance of cell osmotic pressure. During the flower bud differentiation period, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers need to be applied more, and 800 times potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution can be sprayed on the back of the leaves twice a month. The detailed fertilization position and method of Bilei Drum adopts the circular ditch application method. A 2cm shallow ditch is dug 5 cm away from the main stem, poured in fertilizer and covered with soil. Liquid fertilizer is recommended to be applied through the dipping basin method, inject the fertilizer solution into the tray, and allow the plants to absorb it independently through capillary action, which can effectively avoid fertilizer damage. If the leaves are wrinkled and the stem nodes are long in common fertilizer treatment options, the fertilizer should be stopped immediately and the substrate should be washed continuously with clean water for three times. For severe fertilizer damage, new soil needs to be replaced. After pruning the rotten roots, soak it in 1000 times carbendazim solution for 30 minutes before re-placing it in the pot.
Scientifically fertilized Bilei Drum can achieve an annual growth of 15-20cm and a leaf diameter of 8cm. It is recommended to combine the dynamic adjustment plan of plant conditions, record leaf thickness, stem node length and other indicators monthly during the growth period, and establish exclusive maintenance files. Through precise management of fertilizer and water, this "green drum" can continue to show its charming style.
