Tiger Piranha is one of the most common potted plants in homes. It has thick leaves with golden edges and strong decorative properties. It is lush and upright, like a sword inserted in a pot, which is particularly elegant and majestic. Tiger Piranha is a very easy-to-grow lazy flower. It can grow out of the pot easily. Just leave it in the corner and it will grow many small buds every year. It is easy to grow out of the pot, which is very rewarding. Moreover, if you grow it well, the Tiger Piranha can still bloom. But some people always don’t understand that the growing conditions required for Sansevieria are enough to kill it, or it may not grow anything but a few lonely leaves after a year. In fact, Sansevieria also needs additional fertilizer to grow. It doesn’t mean you can just throw it in the corner and forget about it. Plants need fertilizer to grow, just like people need to eat. Sufficient fertilizer can ensure that its leaves grow thick and upright, and many small side buds emerge. So, what fertilizers should be added to the snake plant? First, if you want to bloom the pot, add new sprout growth fertilizerThe root system of Sansevieria is relatively sturdy. It absorbs nutrients through the capillary roots on the main roots. The nutrients on the main roots are provided for the growth of leaves. When it feels that there is enough nutrition, many small side buds will burst out. Therefore, the number of side buds of Sansevieria is closely related to the amount of fertilizer applied. In addition to making the soil loose and breathable so that the roots can fully stretch and grow deeply, growth fertilizer should be added twice a month during its growing season from spring to autumn. It is a foliage plant, so it should be fertilized with nitrogen fertilizer, such as Huaduoduo No. 12, or quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer and multi-element compound fertilizer. We can also use our own fermented bean cake fertilizer water, soybean water, etc. to water the snake plant. These are nitrogen-based fertilizers and provide sufficient nitrogen elements. Its leaves will grow fully, thick and upright, and many small side buds will emerge from the bottom. The more fertilizer there is, the more small side buds will emerge. However, do not use only nitrogen fertilizer. If other elements are lacking, even if the leaves grow very fast, they will become soft and droopy in the later stage. Therefore, when applying fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizer, but growth fertilizer with other elements should also be used. When the capillary roots absorb sufficient nutrients, they will supply the main roots and leaves. If there is excess, a bunch of small side buds will emerge next to them. The more small side buds grow, the more nutrients there are in your soil. Second, if you want to make the pot bloom, you need to use loose soil and fertilizer.Sansevieria is a plant that is particularly afraid of compaction. Although its taproot is relatively thick, its ability to penetrate deep is not strong. It relies on fibrous roots to absorb nutrients. The fibrous roots are very thin and their ability to penetrate deep is even worse. Therefore, the soil should be loose and breathable. Many people buy tiger skin orchids in flower shops that are grown in farmland soil, which is not suitable for indoor maintenance. If you buy such tiger skin orchids, you will not be able to maintain them well, and they may not grow for a year. Therefore, in spring, you need to replace the soil with loose and breathable soil, and add some loose soil fertilizer. You can use some leaf mold, pine needle soil with half granular soil or coarse river sand, etc., and add some organic fertilizer, dry sheep manure, etc. in the flowerpot to promote the growth of branches and leaves. As long as the soil is loose, breathable and has some nutrients, the tiger skin will grow well. If the soil is too compacted and you don't want to change the pot, you can rake the soil surface about two centimeters and sprinkle some fermented sheep manure on it. In this way, nutrients will slowly penetrate into the flowerpot along with the soil to replenish nutrients. In addition, the soil also has a certain bacterial flora, so it is not easy to become particularly hardened. Third, if you want flowers to bloom, you need to use flowering fertilizerIt is not easy for tiger skin plant to bloom. It is a rare opportunity. It is very normal that many people have raised tiger skin plants for more than ten years and have never seen them bloom. It is said that good luck will come when tiger skin plants bloom. In fact, if you understand the growth habits of the tiger skin plant, it is not difficult to make it bloom. The tiger skin plant must be at least three years old, and it can bloom when it is mature. When a snake plant has grown for enough years, its root system will be well developed and cover the entire flower pot. Its nutrients will have nowhere to be consumed, and its ability to differentiate flower buds will be strong, thus meeting the conditions for flowering. If you want it to bloom, you can water it with some potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which is mainly composed of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, in the spring. When it receives the signal to promote flowering, you can place it in a semi-shaded place for maintenance. As long as the plant of Tiger Piranha is large enough and has sufficient phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, it can bloom. However, the flowers of Sansevieria are not very attractive, and the clusters of small white flowers are not bright, but the flowers are still quite fragrant. However, many people just want to show off their good flower growing skills. It is said that when the snake plant blooms, good luck will come. Therefore, if you want to make the snake plant bloom, you can control it artificially. Its flowering period is generally in late summer and early autumn. If the above conditions are met, it will be no problem for the snake plant to bloom, and then you will be qualified to show off to your friends or flower lovers. Many people grow snake plants because they want to grow them with thick, lush, and green leaves that will not fall over. If they are placed in a living room or other place, it will look grand and elegant. The leaves are emerald green, and the plant has a compact shape, making it particularly decorative. In fact, it is very simple. Tiger Piranha is also a well-known lazy flower. It does not require frequent watering and care and can be enjoyed all year round.
