3. Precautions

Compound fertilizer can be applied to succulents, but it cannot be applied directly to the soil, because the root system of the plant is very weak, and the heat generated by direct application to the soil will burn the roots. Therefore, dilute the fertilizer with water before application, dissolve the fertilizer and then apply it into the soil, but away from its root system. You can apply liquid fertilizer, cake fertilizer, or homemade fertilizer to it.

1. Whether it can be applied

Compound fertilizer can be applied to succulents, but it cannot be applied directly to the soil. Flower lovers should all know that its root system is very weak, so when fertilizer is applied to the soil, too much heat will burn its root system. When applying, you can first dissolve and dilute it with water, then dilute the fertilizer with water and then pour it into the pot. It should be noted that when applying fertilizer, do not apply it to the leaves and roots of the plant.

2. What fertilizer to apply

During the maintenance period, you can apply an appropriate amount of liquid fertilizer, cake fertilizer or potassium dihydrogen phosphate to it. When fertilizing it, you must master the characteristics of applying thin fertilizer frequently. If the amount of fertilizer is large, the roots will be burned. Many experienced florists make their own fertilizers. Generally, vegetable leaves, rice water, etc. can be made into fertilizers, which can be used after dilution and fermentation in a bottle.

3. Precautions

Give Fertilizing succulents is generally carried out during the growth period. Spring and autumn are the times when they grow better, so they can be fertilized appropriately. The temperature will rise quickly in summer, and succulents will go dormant at this time, so you cannot fertilize them during this time.
