What fertilizer is good for the lucky tree?

What fertilizer should be applied to the lucky tree

Before planting the lucky tree, add some cake fertilizer to the substrate as base fertilizer, apply urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate during the vigorous growth period, and apply some potassium dihydrogen phosphate before winter to help the plant survive the winter safely.

Generally speaking, the base fertilizer of the lucky tree is mixed into the substrate during planting, which is beneficial to the subsequent growth of the plant. The specific types of fertilizers that can be used include slow-release compound fertilizers and fermented cake fertilizers.

How to fertilize the lucky tree

For the lucky tree, poke a few small holes on the edge of the pot, away from the root system, put the fertilizer in evenly and cover it with soil. Since the amount is not large and it is far away from the root system, there is no need to worry about burning the roots.

Spring fertilization

The lucky tree usually needs to be repotted in March. When repotting, apply enough base fertilizer, such as rotted chicken manure or sheep manure. Spread a layer of them at the bottom of the pot, which can supplement a large amount of nutrients for the plant.

Summer fertilization

The best fertilizer for the lucky tree in summer is farmyard manure, decomposed animal manure, sheep manure, and chicken manure. The recommended time for fertilization is May to June.

Fall Fertilization

In autumn, the lucky tree should be given ordinary slow-release fertilizer, which is available in ordinary flower shops. It is also simple, clean and easy to use. A small-particle fertilizer is also more durable and as easy to use as organic fertilizer. Generally, the best time to apply slow-release fertilizer to the lucky tree is autumn, and the recommended time is early September.

Winter fertilization

If you don't want to change the pot or soil of your lucky tree in winter, and don't want to give it chemical fertilizers, you can use decomposed cake fertilizer water, sheep manure water, or chicken manure water. When the soil in the pot is dry, water it once around the edge of the pot. The recommended time is November.

Points to note when fertilizing the lucky tree

1. When caring for the lucky tree, if fertilizer damage occurs, it will cause root rot, especially if the plant ingests liquid fertilizer or raw fertilizer with too high concentration, which will cause great damage to the root system of the plant. Fertilizer damage is inevitable.

2. The lucky tree prefers an environment with plenty of sunlight but slight shade, and avoids direct sunlight. Therefore, after fertilizing, it needs to be placed under scattered light for maintenance, which is conducive to its growth and can also promote the roots to absorb nutrients.
