How to fertilize blue stone lotus

Their need for fertilizer

If care is taken when choosing the potting soil, this plant generally does not require much fertilizer. However, if the soil nutrition is very unsatisfactory, then relatively more fertilizer will be needed. However, be careful not to apply too much fertilizer, otherwise the stems and leaves of the plant will grow too fast, which will damage the overall shape of the plant, so be careful.

What fertilizer to apply

This plant is not particularly particular about the type of fertilizer it uses, but generally there are animal manure, powdered eggshells, and liquid fertilizers specifically for it. In addition, our rice water is also a good choice. It can not only supplement nutrients, but also replace part of the watering.

Fertilization method

Before planting the plants in containers, you can mix an appropriate amount of animal manure or eggshell powder into the substrate.

During its vigorous growth and development period, the demand for fertilizer is relatively large. You can use special liquid fertilizer, and the frequency can be chosen to be once a month. The frequency does not need to be too high, because as we said above, it does not require much fertilizer. If fertilization can be controlled very well, the leaves of the plants will remain green, which is of course what we want to see.

Another point that needs special attention is that plants will enter a dormant stage during the hottest period of summer. At this time, growth is very slow, or even tends to stop. We all understand that this is naturally not a suitable time for fertilizing. However, this period will not last too long. After this stage, everything will return to normal.
