How to fertilize the Euphorbia obesa

spring

Spring is the growing season of the plant, and fertilization must be timely at this time, but the flower does not like raw fertilizer. Fertilizer can be applied every ten days to half a month. The fertilizer should mainly be a combination of nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves and the blooming of flowers. When it comes to the bud formation stage, you can increase the intensity of fertilization slightly. If too little fertilizer is applied and the plant does not get enough nutrients, its growth and development will gradually weaken, resulting in a decrease in the number of flowers, dull flower colors, wilted flower shapes, or even no flowering at all. To prevent this from happening, add one or two applications of quick-acting phosphorus fertilizer.

summer

The Euphorbia obesa begins to grow rapidly in early summer and requires more nutrients. The fertilizer applied at this time should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and it can be applied one or two times depending on the growth situation. This can encourage it to grow more leaves and sprouts, increase the number of flower buds in the second year, and improve the ornamental value of the flowers. When the flowering period arrives, you should pay attention to reducing fertilizer to prevent excess nutrition. The weather is generally hot and humid in the hot summer. This climate will slow down the growth of the Euphorbia obesa and cause it to go dormant. At this time, place it in a ventilated, cool place and stop fertilizing.

autumn

After entering autumn, the leaves of the Euphorbia obesa gradually mature and enter the second rapid growth season of the year. At this time, fertilizer can be applied two or three times. Fertilizers in autumn are different from those in spring. They should mainly be a combination of phosphorus fertilizers and potassium fertilizers, and attention should be paid to providing sufficient sunlight.

winter

When the temperature drops in winter, especially after the Descent of Frost, the Euphorbia obesa should be moved to a warm room and no longer fertilized. At the same time, excessively growing side branches and new shoots should be removed in time to reduce the loss of nutrients.

Precautions

If it is a newly planted Euphorbia obesa, do not apply fertilizer for the time being. Wait until the growth stabilizes and then apply fertilizer as usual. When changing the soil and pots, you can add some base fertilizer to increase the nutrients in the soil.
