How to fertilize succulent plants? What fertilizer is best?

1. Fertilization time

The main time period for fertilizing succulents is during their growth period. In addition, when changing pots and soil, you can mix in a little fertilizer to increase the nutrients in the soil.

2. Fertilizer Types

During the growth stage, top dressing mainly uses compound fertilizer, which can be bought directly from the store. The effect will be better if you use special fertilizer for succulents. The fertilizer used for planting can be solid fertilizer, such as animal manure and so on.

3. Fertilization method

1. Generally speaking, succulents do not require too much fertilizer. Applying too much fertilizer will be detrimental to their growth and will cause root rot. Therefore, the interval between fertilization can be longer, and it is better to do it once a month or so. Slow-release fertilizer can be mixed into the soil every time you repot the plant, which can be done once or twice a year.

2. When using top dressing, you must first add water to lower the concentration and then apply it to the surface of the soil. Solid fertilizer can be mixed directly into the soil, but be careful not to add too much.

IV. Precautions

1. If the plant has just been potted or moved to a new environment, it is not suitable to apply fertilizer. Wait until it adapts to the environment before applying fertilizer.

2. Furthermore, no fertilizer should be applied when the plant is in the seedling stage. Wait until it reaches adulthood before fertilizing.
