How to fertilize the peacock plant

1. Habits and Fertilizer

The peacock plant prefers a semi-shaded environment and cannot be directly exposed to strong light. The most suitable temperature and humidity should be maintained at 12-29℃. The temperature in winter must also be maintained between 12 and 18 degrees. It does not have high requirements for soil, but the soil must be kept moist.

2. Fertilization Methods

1. How to apply fertilizer during soil cultivation

During the peak growth season of the peacock plant, it is necessary to apply a thin liquid fertilizer once every half a month. When applying fertilizer, you need to be careful not to apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the spots on its leaves will fade, the thickness of the leaves will increase, the petioles will become soft, and serious developmental problems will occur. When it comes to the use of fertilizers, it is generally recommended to use nutritionally balanced fertilizers. Fertilizers in this proportion can make the color of its leaves more lustrous. Do not use large amounts of high nitrogen fertilizers, as this will be particularly detrimental to its germination and growth.

2. How to fertilize soilless cultivation
