When is the best time to fertilize the iron tree and how to fertilize it

1. Fertilization time

1. It is best to fertilize the iron tree during its growing season, usually between March and September. Apply liquid fertilizer once a week. The concentration of the fertilizer should be low, which will help the plant's branches and leaves grow more robustly. Fertilization must be applied in small amounts and multiple times. The amount of fertilizer applied each time should not be too much. If the plant cannot absorb it, root rot will occur, which will not only fail to achieve fertilizer effect but also affect its growth.

2. After entering May, it is also necessary to apply appropriate fertilizer. At this time, you need to apply some compound fertilizer. After entering autumn, you should stop fertilizing, because its growth rate will slow down at this time, so you must apply less fertilizer or stop fertilizing directly.

2. How to fertilize

When fertilizing during its growth process, the fertilizer should be applied to the cultivation soil. Do not use too concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer. When fertilizing, do not let the fertilizer come into contact with its branches and leaves. Once it comes into contact with them, spray some water, otherwise the leaves will turn yellow. Also, do not water the plants 1-2 days before fertilizing, and keep the planting soil dry so that the fertilizer will be more effective.
