Soil Selection and Fertilization for Eustoma

Soil requirements for Eustoma

Before applying fertilizer, we must first know what nutrients they require in the soil. This plant has a relatively high demand for fertilizer. Therefore, during its growth process, not only must all components be kept complete, but it must also ensure that there is more calcium in the soil. In other words, this plant also has requirements for the soil itself. According to experiments, soil with a pH between 6 and 7 is better for this plant.

Key points for using fertilizers

The fertilizer generally used is 14-0-14. Wait until the lisianthus' leaves have spread out before applying fertilizer. Morning watering can be alternated with fertilizing once or twice a week. It is important to note that you must pay attention to its concentration.

Things to note when fertilizing lisianthus

1. If the base fertilizer is insufficient at the beginning, then topdressing is necessary. When applying topdressing, you must follow the key point of "small amounts and multiple times" and never apply too much fertilizer at one time.

2. Make up for what you lack. Maintaining a balance between nutrients is the key to plant growth and even increased income.

3. During the growth process of lisianthus, it is necessary to ensure ventilation, dryness and sufficient light. But when the temperature is too high, you still need to pay attention to sun protection.

4. Although ammonium nitrogen can effectively promote the growth of stems and leaves, if applied in excess, it will cause the leaves to become large and soft, making them difficult to survive and may even cause them to grow too tall. Especially when the temperature is not high, you should pay more attention to the dosage.

5. As mentioned before, lisianthus also has a great demand for calcium. If you notice yellowing or wilting of leaves during the seeding process, it is a sign of calcium deficiency.

6. If the stem is found to be too fragile and easily broken after the plant is formed, or if the stem is found to be cracked longitudinally, this may be caused by the absence of Peng.
