How to fertilize banyan trees?

Fertilization principles

Apply thin fertilizer frequently

Fertilization method

The banyan tree is a relatively rough-growing species, a plant that can survive large amounts of water, large amounts of fertilizer, drought or flood. Sufficient fertilizer will make the branches and trunks of the banyan tree grow strong. Although the banyan tree likes fertilizer, if it is fertilized too often, it will also damage the roots of the banyan tree. Fertilization should be carried out according to different seasons. Summer and autumn are its peak growth periods, and fertilizer should be applied once a month. In winter, it is time to reduce fertilization or even stop fertilizing.

When fertilizing the banyan tree, avoid using highly concentrated or unfermented fertilizers, otherwise it will easily cause large areas of the banyan tree's leaves to fall off, and in severe cases, the banyan tree may die.

If the banyan tree is planted in the courtyard, do not apply fertilizer on rainy days, as this will cause the nutrients in the fertilizer to be lost and the plant will not be able to absorb much.

Fertilization Tips

You can apply 9 to 11 grains of compound fertilizer to the banyan tree every month. The method is to bury the fertilizer grains deep in the soil where the banyan tree is planted, and then water it in time.

When repotting the banyan tree, you can put the fertilizer directly into the soil before planting.
