What fertilizer is best for yew? Introduction to scientific fertilization methods
1. What fertilizer is best
Generally, compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium is used. The former needs to be dissolved in water before use, and note that the concentration should be moderate, while the latter can be applied by burying. In addition, in order to keep the plant looking good, some foliar fertilizer can also be sprayed on it appropriately.
2. How to apply it
1. Fertilization time
When choosing potting soil, try to choose a prepared nutrient soil. Within the first three months after purchase, no fertilizer may be applied; just spray it with foliar fertilizer once every 7 to 10 days. After that, when the leaf color begins to turn yellow-white, this is a sign of early leaf aging and leaf drop, and at this point we can apply a little fertilizer. After that, from November to February each year, the yew is in its dormant period, so at this time fertilizer should be applied sparingly or not at all.
2. Amount of fertilizer
The amount of fertilizer that yew needs is actually not large. Usually small plants do not need fertilizer applied, and large plants only need a light fertilizer applied once every half month. Moreover, when applying it, the fertilizer concentration should be more dilute, and it is enough to apply it more frequently.
3. Fertilization method
When fertilizing, try to apply it along the edge of the pot, and do not sprinkle it at the roots. Then when sprinkling the fertilizer, it should also be more even, and it must not pile up together.
