When fertilizing Tiger Thorn Plum, the application of base fertilizer is more important. A layer of decomposed farmyard manure can be placed at the bottom of the flower pot. Spring and autumn are the peak growth periods. Applying light fertilizer 2-3 times throughout the season is sufficient. When the temperature drops in late autumn, fertilization can be reduced. In order to breed flower buds, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be applied 1-2 times in summer. Apply enough base fertilizer before winter comes to ensure that it survives the winter. After that, you can apply less fertilizer, and if there are signs of flowering, you can add more.

1. Apply enough base fertilizer

The application of base fertilizer is more important. You can put decomposed organic fertilizer on it and use it as the base fertilizer. Then put a layer of soil on top, about 1-2 cm thick. Then plant the tiger thorn plum in it, which can separate the fertilizer from the roots and avoid burning the roots, which helps to release the fertilizer effect slowly.

2. Growth Period

1. Spring: This is the peak period of growth, and the demand for nutrients is larger. Applying light fertilizer 2-3 times throughout the season can satisfy it. Applying too much fertilizer will cause the roots to be burned. Also pay attention to the selection of fertilizer seeds. Do not use too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the leaves will become elongated but the flowers will never bloom.

2. Autumn: Normal fertilization can be done in the early autumn. When the temperature drops in late autumn, fertilization can be reduced.

3. Dormant Period

1. Summer: In order to breed flower buds, you can add more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers from the beginning of the buds. 1-2 times is enough. When it reaches 35 degrees Celsius or above, it will enter a dormant state, and fertilization can be reduced at this time.

2. Winter: Apply enough base fertilizer before winter arrives to ensure a good winter. Fertilize once throughout the winter. If there are signs of flowering, add more.
