What fertilizer is best for evergreen

Fertilization time of Dieffenbachia

Dieffenbachia can be fertilized during its vigorous growth period, mainly in summer, and can be fertilized every 7 to 10 days. Generally, liquid fertilizer should be applied once every half a month during the growing season. It can also be combined with new lipid film to enhance the fertilizer effect and promote the lush growth of branches and leaves.

What fertilizer is good for evergreen

1. Organic fertilizer

What kind of fertilizer to use for evergreen can be determined according to different stages. When preparing the soil or repotting, you can add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to the soil to supplement the missing nutrients in the soil and promote the growth of the root system. The base fertilizer can be organic fertilizer or decomposed farm manure.

2. Liquid fertilizer

During the period of vigorous growth of evergreen, fertilizer is indispensable. Spring and autumn are the seasons of relatively vigorous growth. At this time, liquid fertilizer can be sprayed on the roots and leaves once every 10 days. This can not only promote the growth of the plant, but also maintain the green state of the leaves.

3. Compound fertilizer

Compound fertilizer contains many elements and is also an excellent fertilizer. The nitrogen content in compound fertilizer is relatively high, which can promote the growth of leaves. It can be applied once every 20 days in spring and autumn. It is mainly thin and can be buried around the roots when using.

4. Oil cake fertilizer

Oil cake fertilizer has long-lasting effect and low concentration, and will not cause fertilizer damage. The decomposed oil cake fertilizer can be poured around the root system. During the growing season, it can be applied every half a month. If the temperature is suitable in winter, it can be applied once a month.

Fertilization method of Dieffenbachia

When fertilizing evergreen, pay attention to the growth stage. During the spring budding period, it is best to apply organic fertilizer once half a month, and add liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days. It can be combined with decomposed manure. In the early stage of flower bud differentiation, nutrients containing phosphorus can be applied. When the flowers are about to bloom, fertilization should be stopped. After the fruit is grown, fertilization should be applied multiple times.

Matters Needing Attention When Applying Fertilizer

Dieffenbachia needs nitrogen fertilizer to grow, and nutrients sufficient in nitrogen are preferred. However, be careful not to make the concentration too high. When applying base fertilizer, it must be fully decomposed to avoid burning the roots and affecting later growth.
