How to fertilize the goldfish plant

1. Fertilization during the growth period

During its growth period, we must control the amount of fertilizer. Generally, we should fertilize it once a week or two weeks, so that it can grow more vigorously. Many plants generally need fertilizer during the growth period. At this time, we must provide enough fertilizer according to their needs. You can add a little phosphorus fertilizer before flowering, which can allow it to develop more flower buds, bloom more flowers, and make it more beautiful to watch, so you must pay attention to fertilization during the growing period.

2. No fertilizer can be applied during flowering period

When the goldfish plant blooms, we must remember that we can no longer fertilize it at this time, otherwise it will affect its flowers. Wait until the flowers fade before applying some nitrogen fertilizer to it. It should also be pruned and shaped when the flowers fade. This makes the whole plant look very beautiful. So remember, you cannot apply fertilizer when the flowers are blooming.

3. Stop fertilizing during dormancy

In winter, the temperature is not very high, so the goldfish spider plant will enter a short dormant state. Many people think that there is not enough fertilizer and it will not grow, so they will keep applying fertilizer. This is incorrect. You must stop fertilizing when it is dormant because it cannot absorb it and it will have the opposite effect. So everyone must remember to stop applying fertilizer during the dormant period.

4. Don’t apply concentrated fertilizer

Generally, plants prefer thinner fertilizers and do not like concentrated fertilizers. Of course, the same is true for goldfish spider plants. When fertilizing, we must remember not to use concentrated fertilizers. Try to make it thinner, otherwise it will easily burn its roots and have the opposite effect. We cannot fertilize it just to make it grow faster. So friends who make this mistake should remember that fertilization is also very important.
