What fertilizer should be used for spider plants to grow well

1. General principles

For spider plants, there are generally three types of fertilizers needed: nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. Generally, nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. Of course, balanced nutrition is best.

2. Soil culture

For plants grown in soil, there are many choices. You can use fertilizers bought from the market. If you don’t want to use it, you can also make it yourself using some materials. For example, you can prepare an empty oil barrel and use tofu dregs and other materials to make fertilizer. Because it contains a lot of nitrogen, it can be used as nitrogen fertilizer. In addition, you can also use fish intestines and water from washing meat to make fertilizer, which contains a lot of phosphorus and can be used as phosphorus fertilizer. In addition, you can also add some orange peels, which will have a better effect.

3. Hydroponics

For hydroponic plants, people generally do not make their own fertilizers, but use nutrient solutions on the market, which is more convenient. However, the amount applied varies depending on the size of the container. If the tank is less than 0.5 liters, use about two to three drops each time; if it is between 0.5 and 1 liter, use four to six drops each time; if it is between 1 and 2 liters, use six to ten drops each time; and if it is between 2 and 4 liters, use ten to twenty drops each time.

4. Fertilization frequency

The frequency of fertilization does not need to be too high, and it is mainly during the growth period. About twice a month is enough, or more often if the growth is weak.
