How to fertilize Chinese evergreen?

Fertilization method of Chinese evergreen

Fertilization principle: thin fertilizer and frequent application

For base fertilizer, the soil for Peperomia can be made of 4 parts perlite, 6 parts peat soil and a small amount of base fertilizer, or 3 parts river sand, 7 parts leaf soil and a small amount of base fertilizer. This way, there is no need to apply fertilizer in the early stages of planting.

During the growing season of Chinese evergreen, fertilize 1 to 2 times a month.

In September, stop applying nitrogen fertilizer to the evergreen, and you can add an appropriate amount of potassium fertilizer to prepare the evergreen for the winter.

When the room temperature is above 18 degrees, you should reduce the amount of fertilizer appropriately. However, you can stop fertilizing when it is below 18 degrees and at 30 degrees. If you want to fertilize, you must reduce the amount of fertilizer and increase the frequency, mainly using light fertilizer.

Precautions for fertilizing Chinese evergreen

When fertilizing, do not use a single nitrogen fertilizer, as this will cause the Chinese evergreen to grow too tall.

When fertilizing, do not splash fertilizer onto the surface of the plants. You can spray water on the surface of the plants after fertilizing.

It is not suitable to fertilize Chinese evergreen with concentrated fertilizer or raw fertilizer, otherwise it will easily cause damage to the plant.

When fertilizing the evergreen, you can also spray liquid fertilizer on its surface, which is also very effective.
