Michelia fertilization time

1. Michelia can be fertilized with liquid fertilizer once every half a month during the growing season from April to September. Fertilization needs to be stopped during the flowering period and after October. Michelia overwinters indoors and the plant is in a dormant or semi-dormant state. It requires very little nutrients and does not need to be fertilized.

2. During the growth period of Michelia, fertilizer can be applied alternately with dilute cake fertilizer water and light fertilizer water. The fertilizer is required to be fully decomposed. If there is continuous rainy weather, 15-20 grams of fully decomposed dry cake fertilizer can be applied on the surface of the pot. During the bud formation period, more phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer should be applied to help the plant bloom in color.
