How often should Podocarpus be fertilized and what is the time and method of fertilization?

How often should Podocarpus be fertilized?

1. During the vigorous growth period of Podocarpus, top dressing can be applied once every 10-15 days, and watering is needed on the second day after fertilization. This can ensure that the root system can fully absorb and follow the principle of "thin application and frequent fertilization".

2. The temperature in winter is relatively low, so fertilizer control is necessary. After Podocarpus enters dormancy, its activity is relatively low, so no fertilizer is needed at this time.

What fertilizer to use for Podocarpus

Podocarpus likes fertilizer but not concentrated fertilizer. You can usually apply some cake fertilizer, manure and other organic fertilizers. You can also add some nitrogen fertilizer or some black gong, which will be easier for the plant to absorb and help promote the growth of the plant.

Fertilization method of Podocarpus

1. Generally, during the growth period of spring and autumn shoots, top dressing of Podocarpus only needs to be done. When applying fertilizer, you can dig trenches and bury the fertilizer in the soil, making sure to keep it away from the roots of the plant.
