Qian Chuan is a kind of succulent plant that we all like very much, because its peculiar shape, no matter where it is placed in the home, can well decorate the surrounding environment. But like to return to like, really raise still have certain difficulty, because there are a lot of things to learn when maintaining, for example, how to fertilize it? Let's take a look.

Time for fertilization

As we all know, from September to April to May every year, it's its growth period. At this time, we definitely need a lot of fertilizer, so when we apply fertilizer, we can apply a little more to it, so as to provide it with sufficient nutrition and better growth.

But after the Mid Autumn Festival, the temperature slowly drops down. If we want to fertilize, we can't do what we want. In order for it to meet the winter safely and survive the winter smoothly, we must stop applying any fertilizer to prevent it from bringing fertilizer. Because the temperature is very low, too much fertilization will easily hurt its roots.

Then wait until the spring can be normal fertilization, in addition to the summer also need to pay attention to, especially when the high temperature, fertilization is also appropriate to reduce, in order to prevent the high temperature to root damage.

The choice of fertilizer

At the beginning of its cultivation, we should add some compound fertilizer to the substrate to meet its early needs, and then after the growth period, we can apply a thin liquid fertilizer to it once a month. Then wait until after autumn, you can apply a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate, the concentration should be well controlled, so that the application of two to three times, you can make its leaves more hardened and full.

After that, we can add long-term base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot every year when we exchange pots for money, so that we can provide nutrition for it for a long time.

Then in the usual maintenance, you need to apply a small amount of compound fertilizer, the fertilizer effect is very fast, easy to use, and after the application, it will make more nutrients, but it should be noted that the amount of application should be reasonable.

3. Other precautions

When applying fertilizer at ordinary times, we must pay attention not to let the fertilizer spread on the leaves, or directly bury it on the roots, or it will make the leaves yellow, the roots rot, and even the whole plant die in serious cases.

So when fertilizing, once the fertilizer is found on the leaves, you should shake it off in time, or wipe it off. As for the root, when fertilizing, try to keep the fertilizer away from the root.
