How to fertilize Ficus ginseng

Time and method of fertilizing Ficus ginseng:

In fact, ginseng fig is not easy to fertilize, so the simple way is to apply compound fertilizer to it once every season, but the fertilizer should be mainly nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, and potassium fertilizer, and it should be guaranteed 3 to 4 times a year. Avoid applying too much fertilizer, which will cause the plant to grow too tall and affect its overall shape.

During its growth period, you can apply fertilizer once a month. The fertilizer should mainly be phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer. When applying fertilizer, just bury the fertilizer in the soil, but do not let it come into direct contact with the roots to avoid fertilizer burns to the roots.

Fertilization precautions for ginseng ficus:

The newly purchased ginseng fig needs time to adapt to the new environment, so leaves will often fall off. Don’t worry, it does not need any nutrients at this time. You have to wait until it is completely adapted to the pot before applying fertilizer.

When repotting the ginseng fig, it is usually done in spring, so after repotting you must wait until the temperature rises above 20 degrees before applying fertilizer.

Problems and solutions for applying too much or too little fertilizer:

If too much fertilizer is applied, especially too much nitrogen fertilizer and too little phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, it will easily cause the leaves of the plant to turn yellow. At this time, you should water the plant plenty of times so that the fertilizer can be discharged along with the water. Then you need to remove half of the soil in the pot and replace it with new soil.

If too little fertilizer is applied, especially if no nitrogen fertilizer is applied for a long time, it will easily cause the branches and leaves of the plant to shrink and turn yellow. At this time, you need to replace all the soil with new and more fertile soil, replant, water and move to a cool place for maintenance.
