The relative humidity of the air should be kept above 80%. 5. Nutrients The nutrient requirements of the star anise tree are mainly related to the growth stage. During the seedling stage, the star anise tree mainly needs nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer, which are generally applied every 15-20 days until the seedlings grow new branches. For mature star anise trees, fertilization is required twice a year. The first fertilization is carried out in spring, mainly applying compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer containing multiple elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to promote flower bud differentiation.
