How to fertilize pepper tree

one. Soil preparation

The best soil for growing pepper trees is sandy soil rich in nutrients. The soil must have good water permeability. If the soil contains too much water, it will cause the roots of the pepper tree to rot. When pepper trees are planted in pots, the substrate is made by mixing garden soil and slag ash in a ratio of 7:3. This kind of soil contains more nutrients, which is more conducive to their growth.

two. Fertilizer preparation

It is usually not fertilized in winter because the temperature is generally low in winter and it is not suitable for large amounts of fertilizer. You just need to keep the soil slightly moist. It is usually carried out in three seasons: autumn, summer or fall. Be sure to control the concentration of the fertilizer. It is better to have a lower concentration of fertilizer to prevent it from growing too fast and becoming difficult to prune. You can choose some organic fertilizers or animal manure. You can also consult a florist and choose some special chemical fertilizers. Some traditional fertilizers among the people, such as those containing leftover food and soup, milk and soy milk, should be avoided as much as possible.

three. Fertilization methods

The frequency of fertilizing pepper trees is generally to water them twice, then fertilize them once, and repeat this cycle. The temperature is low in winter, they grow slowly and may even go dormant, so you don't need to fertilize them. When first feeding new plants or tender shoots, you should choose to use base fertilizer, such as urea or other similar chemical fertilizers, because this kind of quick-acting fertilizer will have a more obvious nourishing effect. Or you can use a very light concentration of fertilizer containing elements such as phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen for deep nourishment, so that the pepper tree can grow better and more luxuriantly. It is best to add some trace elements suitable for the growth of pepper trees, which can make the pepper trees grow stronger. After fertilizing, it is best to loosen the soil to ensure that the whole plant can absorb fertilizer and water and grow lush quickly.
