How to fertilize yew

Fertilization method

In spring, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to the yew. Promote the growth, flowering and fruiting of yew. During the normal growing season, spray the leaves with potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution every 7-10 days. Apply less fertilizer during the winter dormant period because the plant growth stagnates and does not need too many nutrients, and the temperature is too low and nutrients cannot be absorbed. Do not apply concentrated or raw fertilizers to yew bonsai.

Symptoms of nutrient deficiency

When the leaves of the yew tree become lighter in color, the plant becomes weak, the leaves turn yellow-white, and the edges of the leaves appear "burnt", it means that the yew tree is lacking fertilizer and needs to be fertilized with bean cake fertilizer once a month.

Fertilization precautions

When fertilizing yew, try to apply fertilizer along the edge of the pot and away from the roots, especially for potted yew. The soil of the newly purchased yew tree is already rich in nutrients, so no fertilizer is needed. It will take 3 months before fertilizer is needed.
