Bulbous meat: because bulbous and succulent stems can store nutrients, the amount of topdressing can be reduced by half according to the normal amount. Fibrous roots: the amount of topdressing is 1 / 5 of the normal amount, about 15-30 grains of compound fertilizer. Large leaves: the amount of topdressing is 2 times per month according to the normal amount, and 5-8 times of liquid fertilizer spraying is added.

Top dressing of bulbous fleshy flowers

Because bulbous and succulent stems can store nutrients, and the root system is less, the amount of topdressing can be halved according to the normal amount. Because of their high requirements for nitrogen, potassium and calcium, potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate are often used as the main combination of formula liquid fertilizer.

Bonsai top dressing

The characteristics of potted landscape fertilization are less quantity and longer efficiency. Generally, slow-release organic fertilizers such as bone meal and cake fertilizer are used as the main body, which are compounded with slow-release urea formaldehyde, phosphate rock powder and a small amount of quick acting fertilizer.

If there is no ready-made special fertilizer for bonsai, it can be treated with olive oil or plastic film wrapping solution by using the commercial flower fertilizer roller, which can achieve a sustained and long-term effect. The fertilizer can be shallow buried in the substrate beside the basin.
