In order to make them grow normally, the basic fertilizer, which is mainly livestock manure, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, should be applied during planting. During its growth, it is applied with low concentration fertilizer every two weeks, such as liquid fertilizer, organic fertilizer, domestic animal fertilizer, etc. Before flowering, calcium phosphate should be applied. The amount of fertilizer should not be too much, and the fertilizer should not be splashed on the leaves.

Pay attention that the content of nitrogen fertilizer should not be too much. It can use liquid fertilizer with lower concentration, cake fertilizer, domestic animal fertilizer, or organic fertilizer made by ourselves.

2. Precautions

Every time you apply fertilizer, you should pay attention to that the amount of fertilizer should not be too much. If you apply too much fertilizer for a long time, the plant will grow rotten roots in vain and may not blossom. Don't splash the fertilizer on the leaves of plants when applying fertilizer, because the fertilizer will burn the leaves, which will become rotten and reduce the ornamental value. Also, the temperature will accelerate in the hot summer, so it's best not to apply fertilizer at this time
