Fertilization tips for Podocarpus

Fertilization method

When cultivating Podocarpus, appropriate fertilization is required. When applying fertilizer, you need to pay attention that Podocarpus does not like concentrated fertilizer, so do not use too concentrated fertilizer when cultivating it. During its growing season, you can use some decomposed organic fertilizer. Generally, fertilizer is applied once every 10 to 15 days. On the second day after fertilization, water can be irrigated once. This can promote the root absorption of fertilizer and dilute the fertilizer.

If it is a ground-planted Podocarpus, you can apply fertilizer once when the spring and autumn shoots grow, and no fertilizer is needed at other times. When applying fertilizer, you can dig trenches to apply fertilizer, and water it once the next day.

In order to make the leaves of Podocarpus green and more ornamental, whether it is a potted Podocarpus or a ground-planted Podocarpus, you can use fertilizer and water on it once every half a month. Just add a small amount of fertilizer to the water and monitor it.

What fertilizer to apply

When applying fertilizer, spring and autumn are the main growing seasons of Podocarpus. At this time, you can apply several times of thin liquid fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen fertilizer. Water once on the second day after fertilizing.

When fertilizing Podocarpus, it is more suitable to use organic fertilizers such as cake fertilizer and manure, and it is better to use dilute fertilizer water. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to the principle of applying fertilizer thinly and frequently to avoid fertilizer damage.
