How to fertilize Rainbow Jade

Fertilization method

Rainbow Jade grows slowly and is drought-resistant, so do not apply a large amount of fertilizer. Just apply a small amount of thin fertilizer.

Generally, organic liquid fertilizer should be applied to Rainbow Jade once a month, and good ventilation should be maintained in summer.

Fertilizing should be coordinated with watering. Water should be applied on the second day after fertilizing. Usually, water should be applied twice after fertilizing to promote the effectiveness of the fertilizer and the absorption of nutrients by the roots.

What fertilizer to apply

When you go to a flower shop to buy fertilizers, the store will usually introduce you to general fertilizers, which are compound fertilizers. When using, pay attention to the combination of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements. If possible, you can prepare some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers at home. In short, the fertilizer you choose should have complete nutrients, long-lasting effectiveness, will not cause soil compaction, and can also improve the soil.

As for whether to use liquid fertilizer or granular fertilizer, it depends on personal habits, there is not much difference. Liquid fertilizer can be diluted with water before watering, and granular fertilizer should be shallowly buried around the rainbow jade plant, avoiding the rhizome. This will have a better fertilizer effect and make the flowers more colorful and eye-catching.
