Fertilize succulents, mainly during their growth stage. You can also mix a little fertilizer into the soil when changing pots. Generally speaking, some compound fertilizers are used for top dressing during the growth period, and some solid fertilizers are sufficient for planting. It is more appropriate to topdress once a month or so; fertilizer must be mixed with water and applied after the concentration is reduced, and solid fertilizer can be mixed directly into the soil. Be careful not to fertilize just after potting or changing to a new environment. In addition, do not fertilize when the plant is in the seedling stage.

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. Types of fertilizers

For top dressing during the growth stage, compound fertilizers are mainly used, which can be bought directly from the store. The effect of using special fertilizers for succulents will be better. The fertilizer used during planting can be solid fertilizer, such as animal manure.

3. Fertilization method

1 Generally speaking, succulents do not need too much fertilizer. Applying too much fertilizer is not conducive to its growth and will cause root rot. Therefore, the interval between fertilization can be longer, preferably once a month or so. Slow-release fertilizer can be mixed into the soil every time the pot is repotted, which can be once a year or two years.

2. When top dressing is to be used, it must be mixed with water to reduce the concentration and then applied to the surface of the soil. Solid fertilizer can be mixed directly into the soil, but be careful not to use too much.

IV. Precautions

1 . If the plant has just been potted or has just changed to a new environment, it is not suitable to fertilize. Wait until it adapts to the environment before fertilizing.

2. Furthermore, when the plants are in the seedling stage, fertilization cannot be applied. Wait until it reaches adulthood before fertilizing.
