What fertilizer to use for Schefflera arborvitae and how to make it grow faster

1. What fertilizer to use

When growing Schefflera arborvitae, you can use fully decomposed organic fertilizer or inorganic fertilizer. Generally, you can choose compound fertilizer with high nitrogen content, or you can apply fermented liquid fertilizer. The amount of fertilizer must be small. Too high a concentration or too large an amount of fertilizer may burn the roots of the plant. It should be noted that the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applied should be controlled, but not excessive.

2. Maintenance techniques for fast growth

1. Watering: Water it once a week in spring and autumn, and more often in summer. You can water it every day or every other day depending on the specific situation. Be sure to control the water in winter.

2. Light: You can see the sunlight when it is not too strong, but in summer you must provide shade and avoid direct sunlight that is too strong. In winter, it is necessary to ensure 4 hours of sunlight exposure and should not be kept in a dark place indoors for a long time, as this will reduce its ornamental value.

3. Pruning: During the maintenance process, attention should be paid to pruning overgrown branches. Yellow leaves, dry branches and leaves, as well as branches and leaves affected by diseases and insect pests should also be pruned in time during the maintenance period.
