What fertilizer is best for dragon bones

Dragon bone fertilization time

Dragon bones have a relatively large demand for fertility. Generally, they are fertilized once every two months. During their growing season, there must be sufficient fertilizer and water. They need to be topdressed with decomposed liquid fertilizer once every half a month, and reasonable topdressing should be carried out according to their growth.

What fertilizer to apply to dragon bones

1. Apply nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season. Nitrogen fertilizer can be applied to dragon bones during the growing season to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Urea or other types of nitrogen fertilizer can be applied once every 2 months, and fully fermented organic fertilizer and cake fertilizer can be applied every half a month.

2. Apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the flowering period. Stop applying nitrogen fertilizer before flowering to avoid excessive growth of branches and leaves without flowering. At this time, you can increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to ensure the balance of various nutrients, which is beneficial to the differentiation of flower buds and can produce more and larger flowers.

Dragon bone fertilization method

During the growth period of dragon bones, urea needs to be applied once every 60 days, and then organic fertilizer or cake fertilizer needs to be applied every half a month. In order to promote the differentiation of flower buds, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers need to be applied in the early stage of flowering. After the flowering period, a small amount of compound fertilizer or cake fertilizer should be buried on the edge of the flowerpot to improve its ability to resist cold.

Notes on keel fertilization

Fertilization of dragon bones can be stopped in winter, but if the ambient temperature is 18 degrees, fertilization can be carried out normally. The amount of fertilizer needs to be controlled each time, and not too much at one time. The temperature is higher in summer, so fertilization can be reduced, and after fertilization, it needs to be placed in a well-ventilated environment.
