How to fertilize miniature coconut palm

1. Fertilizer selection

The miniature coconut palm has no requirements for fertilizer. When choosing, you should pay attention to the ratio of nitrogen and phosphorus in the flower fertilizer, which is preferably 1.5:1.2. Inorganic fertilizer has a fast effect and can make plants grow faster. It is a quick-acting fertilizer and can be used just after pruning. One week to half a month before pruning, you can choose to apply organic fertilizer with a slower fertilizer effect, which is beneficial to the growth and development of miniature coconut palms. In addition, you can also choose to use compound fertilizer at the appropriate time to accelerate growth.

2. Fertilization methods and frequency

You can choose to water the roots or spray the leaves, both of which can achieve better fertilization effects. Generally, compound fertilizer can be applied once a month during the seedling stage. During the growth and development period from April to October, apply compound fertilizer once or twice a month. During the general seedling stage, you can add compound fertilizer every 15-20 days to speed up growth.

3. Precautions for fertilization

1. During the growth period, you should try to use dilute liquid fertilizer to prevent excessive fertilizer from burning the miniature coconut palm.

2. Proper pruning of miniature coconut palms can enhance the effect of fertilization and accelerate their growth.

3. When applying fertilizer, the more is not necessarily better. You should pay attention to the appropriate amount of fertilizer to prevent the miniature coconut palm from growing too fast and affecting the beauty of its shape.

4. Miniature coconut palms are dormant in winter, so the frequency and amount of fertilization should be reduced.

5. You can water the plants in moderation to facilitate effective absorption of fertilizer. But remember not to water too much or too little, just the right amount is enough, and follow the principle of preferring wet to dry.

6. Maintaining the humidity of the environment is particularly important for the absorption and utilization of fertilizers. When the air is dry, you should spray water on the miniature coconut frequently to maintain the humidity.
