What fertilizer is best for arrowroot?

Arrowroot fertilization time

Arrowroot is generally fertilized in the spring when it is growing vigorously, and it is sufficient to apply fertilizer every 15 days. Top dressing is also required according to its growth conditions.

What fertilizer to use for arrowroot

It is best to apply nitrogen fertilizer to arrowroot, which will make the leaves shiny and the color brighter. You can also add appropriate amounts of phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer to make the growth more vigorous.

Arrowroot Fertilization Method

1. Fertilize during soil cultivation

During the peak growing season of arrowroot, apply thin liquid fertilizer every 15 days. Be careful not to use too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise the spots on the leaves will fade, the thickness will increase, the petioles will become soft, and stunted growth will occur. You can use a nutritionally balanced fertilizer.

2. Soilless cultivation and fertilization

For arrowroot cultivated in soilless culture, nutrient solution or compound flower fertilizer needs to be applied every 15-30 days during the growing period, and it must be diluted with water before use.

3. Fertilization in winter and summer

In winter and summer, because the temperature is lower or higher, the number of fertilizations can be controlled, the frequency should be greatly reduced, and fertilization can be temporarily stopped.

Notes on fertilizing arrowroot

Do not apply concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer to the arrowroot, as this will cause burns to the leaves of the plant or even burn the roots. If concentrated fertilizer is applied continuously, it will cause its death.
