What kind of fertilizer is used for the fortune tree raised at home

Fortune tree is the Cantonese homonym of pachira, also known as melon chestnut and malabar chestnut. It is a small evergreen tree of the ceibaceae family. Origin Mexico to Costa Rica.

The plant is beautiful, bright green, and the trunk is spindle-shaped, and it is suitable for indoor decoration and beautification after potting. Use peat soil, humus soil plus about 1 4 river sand and a small amount of farm fertilizer to make potted soil, and plant it in medium and large pots with a diameter of 18 35 cm. Medium potted plants are changed to a larger pot every spring, and part of the old soil can be removed when repotting; Put some base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot when planting.

Combined with repotting, the looser plants are re-pruned. It is usually cut under the branch point, leaving only the main trunk to re-sprout, so that by August and September it can grow into a very beautiful plant. Fortune trees are strong and fast-growing, and require adequate fertilizer.

During the vigorous growth period, liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 1 2 weeks, and if the temperature is low in winter, the growth will stop, and fertilizer should not be applied. In tropical areas, the temperature is high, it continues to grow, and you can continue to fertilize. The fortune tree is a strong positive plant, which is planted in the open field in the place of origin and Hainan Island, and does not need shade.

Greenhouse potted plants in North China can be shaded by about 30% or no shade when cultivated in the open field in spring, summer and autumn. Cultivated in a greenhouse in winter, do not shade, and be placed in a place with direct light. The fortune tree has a certain shade tolerance ability, and can be viewed continuously for 2 to 4 weeks in places where the indoor light is relatively weak.

Weak light, cessation of growth, or new growth of slender leaves. Too long will cause the old leaves to fall off. Low temperature has the harm caused to it, winter should be placed in the environment of 16 18 or more, below this temperature the leaves turn yellow, and then fall off, 10 or less is easy to die.

Fortune trees need plenty of water during periods of high temperature growth. Dryness is often easy to cause leaf shedding, but it is not easy to die due to drought, the trunk stores more water, and leaf fall is also a drought-resistant function, so it has a strong drought tolerance. It is essential to keep the potting soil properly dry during the low temperatures of winter.

Water until the potting soil is mostly dry. Propagation is carried out by seeding.

Malabar Chestnut Malabar chestnut is known as the fortune tree, commonly known as the American potato, and belongs to the family Kapokaceae, an evergreen tree of the genus Gua Chestnut, also known as the chestnut tree. It is native to Mexico and has been introduced in large numbers in China in recent years. It can be used to see both leaves and postures, and can be made into a bonsai with a unique style of various postures, and is one of the best-selling plants for indoor display.

Malabar chestnut is easy to cultivate, the soil requirements are not very strict, and the general garden soil with weak acid can grow well. The habit is shade-tolerant, drought-tolerant, warm-loving, and can grow in full sunshine, half-day or shaded places, and should avoid direct sunlight in summer. Plants need to be pruned.

If the top is not pruned, there are fewer branches, and the top buds are cut off, which is easy for the growth of side branches, which can significantly promote the expansion of the base of the stem, like the stem of the exposed plot, which provides extremely favorable conditions for making bonsai. In terms of fertilization, more phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can be emphasized, which is not only conducive to accelerating growth, but also can promote the expansion of the base of the stem. It should be watered at the right time during the growing season.

The high temperature is conducive to its growth, and even if there is a slight frost erosion in winter, it will cause the leaves to freeze and scorch, and it must be moved indoors and kept above 6 to safely overwinter. Malabar chestnut can bear fruit, the seeds can also be edible, the taste is similar to the chestnut, a large number of seeds are propagated, cuttings are also very easy to root, you can use the branches of the top branch to cut the top branch for cuttings, 30 days after the root can be rooted, spring and summer can be cuttings.

What kind of fertilizer should be used to raise a fortune tree and make it grow better?

The fortune tree likes high temperature and high humidity climate, poor cold resistance, and seedlings avoid frost. It likes fertile and loose, breathable and water-retaining sandy loam soil, likes acidic soil, avoids alkaline soil or clay soil, and is more resistant to water and moisture, and slightly drought tolerant. The suitable temperature for growth is 20-30.

Avoid cold and damp, in an excessively humid environment, the leaves are prone to stained frost spots.

The fertilization of the fortune tree is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, and the root system of the fortune tree is relatively weak, and the rhizome is thick to look good, so potassium fertilizer should be given appropriately In addition, the rotten soybean cake fertilizer and the rice washing water are very good. Chicken and duck feathers, animal broken bones, offal, etc.

Because the fortune tree plant is plump, the leaves are huge, and the growth is more vigorous, so the fortune tree likes fertilizer, and the demand for fertilizer is large.

During its growth period, it can be fertilized every 15 days with a well-rotted liquid fertilizer or mixed flower fertilizer to promote deep roots and leafy growth. It is also possible to apply 2 to 3 times of potassium dihydrogen nitrogen phosphate or 200 times the solution of double-effect micro-fertilizer on the foliar surface. All forms of topdressing should be stopped in winter.

It is best to apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer to the fortune tree.

Fortune tree fertilization method.

1. There are two main periods of fertilization of the fortune tree, during the fortune tree and the repotting period. At this time, the fortune tree should have a relatively large nutrient demand and can be fertilized appropriately. May to September is the peak growth period of the fortune tree, which is the most important fertilization of the year.

2. When fertilizing during the growth period, it is usually mainly decomposed liquid fertilizer or mixed flower fertilizer, and fertilizer is applied once every half month, which can effectively supplement the various nutrients needed by the wealth tree during the vigorous growth period and promote the flourishing of branches and leaves.

3. When changing the pot of the fortune tree every year, the proportion of fertile soil can account for more than one-third, and the fertile soil can be made by mixing humus soil with fallen leaves, adding a small amount of pastoral soil and bean dregs cake. This fertility is highly potent and easy to obtain. However, it should be noted that the fertile soil should be fully decomposed to avoid yellowing the leaves.

Precautions for fertilization of fortune trees.

When fertilizing the fortune tree, the amount can not be too large each time, and the best way is to dig a small pit at a distance of 2 cm from the root, and put a few grains of high-efficiency compound fertilizer, so that the fertilizer effect is slowly released, and the frequency of fertilization is less.

You can use nitrogen-containing compound fertilizers, or cake fertilizers, rice washing water, etc.

It is a fertilizer-loving plant, and May to September is its growth period, appropriately increase the number of fertilization, fertilization once a half month, can promote the growth of the plant. When fertilizing, choose well-rotted cake fertilizer water or mixed flower fertilizer. Since it is a foliage plant, you can apply more nitrogen fertilizer, and if the rhizome is too thin, you can apply more potassium fertilizer.

If you accidentally apply too much fertilizer too much, you can depot the plant and water the roots with water to dilute the fertilizer. The diluted plants should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and normal maintenance can be carried out after the potting soil is dry.

What kind of fertilizer should be used to raise a fortune tree and make it grow better?

<> the best use of nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer for the fortune tree, among which nitrogen fertilizer can make the branches and leaves of the fortune tree more dense and green, potassium fertilizer can promote the growth of the root system of the fortune tree, in the spring when breeding the fortune tree, you can apply compound fertilizer every other month, and in the cold winter season, to postpone fertilization, so as not to cause fertilizer damage to the fortune tree.

1. Nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.

When breeding the fortune tree, it is best to apply a compound fertilizer mixed with nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to it, because nitrogen fertilizer can supplement the nutrients needed by the Zhaochang tree in Fortune Mountain, making its leaves more dense and green, and potassium fertilizer can make the fortune tree grow vigorously and make its root system more robust, and the potting soil can be replaced every 3-4 years, and enough basal fertilizer can be applied to the soil.

2. Fertilization management.

Fortune tree needs sufficient nutrition during the growth period, in the spring and autumn season when breeding fortune trees, need thin fertilizer diligently, you can apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer every other month, so that the fortune tree grows more robust, and in the middle of summer when breeding fortune trees, it is necessary to provide diluted phosphorus and potassium liquid fertilizer, so as not to burn the roots.

3. Winter maintenance.

The fortune tree is not cold-tolerant, it will enter a dormant state in the winter period, the demand for nutrients is reduced, when breeding the fortune tree in winter, it needs to be fertilized, which will lead to the accumulation of fertilizer in the soil, so that the fortune tree has fertilizer damage, and it is necessary to postpone fertilization, and wait until spring comes, and then fertilize the fortune tree.

4. Pruning method.

When pruning the fortune tree, it is necessary to prepare a pair of sharp scissors that have been sterilized to cut off the diseased branches, insect branches and dead yellow branches of the plant, so as to avoid the excess nutrients from the fortune tree, promote the germination of strong new branches, and apply plant ash to the broken part of the branch of the fortune tree to make it recover quickly.

The best fertilizer for breeding fortune trees is nitrogen fertilizer, followed by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, and some compound organic fertilizer can also be appropriately supplemented. If you want to raise the fortune tree thick and good-looking, it is necessary to provide it with sufficient nutrients, the bottom fertilizer should account for one-third of the potting soil, and the potting period and growth period should be fertilized in time for the fortune tree.

1. Nitrogen fertilizer

Breeding fortune tree can choose to buy special fertilizer, this fertilizer is mainly nitrogen fertilizer, containing a trace amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, when the temperature reaches 18-30, you can dig a small hole in the root of the fortune tree to apply fertilizer, generally once every two months, or half a month to water liquid fertilizer once.

2. Compound fertilizer

Compound organic fertilizer is also more suitable for the growth of fortune trees, you can buy it in the flower shop, you can also make it yourself at home, after the rice washing water, rotten cake fertilizer, or the animal bones are dried and ground into powder, buried deep in the soil, to prevent insects.

3. Fertilization method

When repotting the fortune tree every year, you can use deciduous humus, garden soil, soybean cake residue and animal bones to prepare fertilizer, apply one-third of the soil as base fertilizer, and apply liquid fertilizer and mixed fertilizer every 15 days from May to September.

1. Nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer.

There are two main nutrients that the fortune tree needs. The first is nitrogen, which is specific to the leaves and makes them large and shiny. The second is potassium, which is good for the roots, which helps them to become stronger.

2. Slow-release fertilizer or homemade fertilizer.

Generally speaking, compound fertilizers, liquid fertilizers and the like bought on the market are OK. But relatively speaking, it is not targeted, and the effect will not be too good. There are two main types of fertilizers to use:

1.Slow-release fertilizer: This slow-release fertilizer is a specialized fertilizer for foliage plants.

It is generally grainy and tasteless. Apply as directed and it will slowly release the fertilizer. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the plants being burned by excessive and concentrated fertilizers.

The method of use is also very simple, that is, make a few small holes in the side of the pot, and then put in fertilizer.

2.Cooked soybeans: If you don't want to use the fertilizer you bought, you can make your own at home. Cooked soybeans, for example, are a good choice. It contains a lot of nitrogen, which can not only replenish nutrients, but also does not have an odor.

3. Fertilization time and frequency.

The main time to need fertilizer is during the growing period, probably between April and September. During this time, fertilization can be done about once every six months. If the growth is too weak, the interval can be shorter.

Fortune tree in the process of planting should be reasonable fertilization for it, different growth stages to supplement nutrients fertilizer is also different, generally speaking, in the fortune tree growth bud point after fertilizing it, it is recommended to choose compound fertilizer, pay attention to the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but also with the appropriate amount of organic fertilizer. It is recommended to bury organic fertilizer directly in the soil after it is decomposed, and then water it appropriately to dilute the fertilizer.

After the fortune tree enters the growth period, it should be applied enough nitrogen fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer can promote the growth of the stems and leaves of the fortune tree, but it should be noted that the amount of use must be controlled to avoid the growth of branches and leaves of the fortune tree.
