When Podocarpus is in its growing season, that is, in spring and autumn, you can apply a thin liquid fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer, and water it once the next day after fertilization. In addition, Podocarpus can also be applied with organic fertilizers such as cake fertilizer and manure. It is best to use dilute fertilizer water. What fertilizer is good for PodocarpusGenerally speaking, it is better to apply organic fertilizer to Podocarpus, or apply farmyard manure, common ones include grass fertilizer, poultry and livestock manure, cake fertilizer, etc. In addition, ammonium bicarbonate, superphosphate and potassium sulfate can also be applied to Podocarpus, and mixed hole application is carried out. Generally, fertilizer is applied twice in spring and autumn. How to fertilize Podocarpus to make it grow fasterWhen fertilizing Podocarpus, you need to follow the principle of applying small amounts of fertilizer frequently. The fertilizer should be applied slightly outside the projection of the crown to avoid direct contact with the roots. The soil should be slightly moist before fertilizing.

Autumn is the peak growth season for Podocarpus. At this time, fertilization should be mainly decomposed organic fertilizer, but the amount of nitrogen fertilizer should be controlled, and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used to promote lignification of branches and stems and avoid frost damage in winter. Points to note when fertilizing Podocarpus1. Do not overfertilize : Excessive fertilization of Podocarpus is an important reason for its leaves to turn yellow.

Once the leaves turn yellow after fertilization, you need to water them heavily to dilute the fertilizer solution in the potting soil. 2. Do not make it too concentrated : When fertilizing Podocarpus, you need to be careful not to make the fertilizer too concentrated, otherwise it will cause damage to the roots of the plant.
