How to fertilize the beautiful leaf lotus

Suitable fertilizers

Nitrogen fertilizer: It is beneficial to the growth and color of leaves. It can increase the length of leaves and make the color of leaves darker green.

Phosphorus fertilizer: It is beneficial to the transportation in the plant body;

Potassium fertilizer: It is the opposite of nitrogen fertilizer and can make the leaves wider and shorter while also increasing the mass of the leaves.

Magnesium fertilizer: The synthesis of enzymes and chlorophyll depends entirely on magnesium fertilizer, and all bromeliads cannot do without magnesium fertilizer.

PS. They are very sensitive to boron. Even a very small amount of boron can cause the plant to burn, so when fertilizing, make sure that the fertilizer contains no boron at all.

Fertilizer ratio

Phosphorus: nitrogen: potassium = 0.5:1:1, and the content of magnesium fertilizer can be 12% of the total fertilizer.

Fertilization method

You can fertilize every time you water the plants, but there is a method to watering. At the same time, please note that the concentration of fertilizer must be light.

After planting, you have to wait until the roots of the small sprouts grow to 2 cm long before you can apply normal fertilization along with watering.

If you want to accelerate flowering, you have to stop fertilizing about 20 days in advance.

The concentration of fertilizer can be increased in small amounts depending on the growth of the plants.

I hope the above content will be helpful to friends who are growing this plant. If you want to achieve excellent results, you really have to put in some effort.
