It is easy to maintain succulent plants with this kind of home-made fertilizer, the leaves are fat and strong.

Generally speaking, the native environment of succulent plants is usually barren, but they grow normally, and fertilizer is not necessary, which means that you are as succulent as skin and bones, which has nothing to do with your lack of fertilization and has more to do with your light watering. However, if the native environment of succulent plants is poor, so it is obviously wrong to draw the conclusion that the fertilization of succulent plants is not good, and the right amount of fertilizer can make succulent plants grow better.

This kind of thing every family has, that is the bone, we usually eat meat leftover bones (chicken bones, fish bones, pig bones, etc.). Bones are rich in trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus, which are very suitable for absorption by succulent plants. This self-made fertilizer can not only be used to mix the soil, but also put some into the bottom of the flowerpot, which is not only conducive to the ventilation and drainage of the soil, but also the slowly released fertility (nutrients) that can be continuously absorbed by the plants. the most important thing is that you don't have to worry about burning roots at all.

The collected bones can be washed in order to remove salt from the bones. Then put it in the sun for a few more days and break it as much as possible with a small hammer after drying. The final result is bone powder and some relatively large unbreakable bones, which can be fully used. When turning the basin for succulent plants, it is directly used to mix the soil, and those larger bones can be placed directly on the bottom of the basin. The trace elements in the bone will gradually release nutrients in the later stage, and then slowly transfer to the growing points of the plant through the root system of the succulent plant. If you stick to it for a long time, it is difficult for the succulent plant not to be fat.

Before fertilizing, we should first find out what kind of fertilizer succulent plants need. Nitrogen fertilizer can make plants grow fast and leaves are big and bright green, which is very important to vegetables, but not important to succulent plants, and affects coloring. Too much nitrogen fertilizer will also lead to excessive growth, strengthen scale insects, and cause powdery mildew. Phosphate fertilizer acts on flowers and fruits, potash fertilizer acts on roots, phosphate fertilizer potash fertilizer also improves drought resistance, cold resistance and stress resistance. Therefore, succulent fertilization should intentionally use less nitrogen fertilizer and more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer.

For granular slow-release fertilizer, this is our most common fertilizer, this granular slow-release fertilizer is specially aimed at succulent plants, the effect is very good, the fertilizer is released gradually. Fertilization for succulent plants is not very important. A few slow-release fertilizers like this do not have to be fertilized for succulent plants for a long time and should be a kind of compound fertilizer. Potassium fertilizer can promote photosynthesis, increase stem hardness and promote succulent stem and root growth. Uncle some old piles will use this kind of fertilizer, but the amount is very small, after all, the uncle still likes the original old pile. If you want to provide for the aged, you can use potassium-based fertilizer.

The role of nitrogen fertilizer is to make the leaves of succulent plants bigger and healthier, the leaves slow down senescence and increase the yield. If you want to make the leaves of the meat bigger, you can try to use this kind of nitrogen fertilizer, but the dosage should be controlled. No matter what kind of fertilizer, the dosage must be grasped, less if you can, and if you can not use it. What the uncle likes is the original ecology, but in some cases, he will also use comprehensive fertilizer, that is, granular slow-release fertilizer. But it is recommended not to apply fertilizer, but many meat friends have asked me, write it down and let them know. Raising meat is a process, which does not require too much pollution.

After choosing the right fertilizer, the method of fertilization is also very important. Usually before putting on the pot, the selected slow-release fertilizer and the pre-prepared culture soil are mixed and used according to a certain proportion. And it is suggested that the application should be carried out within two weeks, mainly in order to avoid the accumulation of too much salt in the cultivated soil, which is not conducive to the full dissolution of fertilizer.
