What fertilizer makes snake plants grow fast? First, let's talk about the snake plant (Sansevieria). The snake plant is mainly grown for its foliage. Of course, it also blooms, but its flowers have no special features. Home cultivation is generally focused on foliage. For foliage plants, when choosing fertilizer, choose one based on nitrogen and potassium, that is, a high-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer. Many of the fertilizers sold on the market today that are based on nitrogen and potassium have a relatively high ratio of nitrogen to potassium, and also contain a certain proportion of other trace elements. These fertilizers can all be used for snake plants. Nitrogen fertilizer mainly promotes rapid growth of branches and leaves. The main function of potassium fertilizer is to promote well-developed roots and thick, sturdy stems and branches, making the leaves glossy green, firm and upright.

If you can't buy that kind of fertilizer based on high nitrogen and high potassium. Using a multi-element mixed fertilizer for it is also fine. But compared with using high-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer, the growth will be slightly slower. We can also make this kind of fertilizer ourselves at home. If snake plants grow slowly, give them this fertilizer, and the leaves will be thick and grow fast. Use oil crops such as soybeans, peanuts, and sesame. The ones at home that can't be used up, moldy ones, or ones we just bought are all fine. Crush them and put them into a sealed container. Something like an oil drum, add water, don't fill the water level too full, seal the bottle mouth completely tight, and put it in a place with very sufficient light. Fermentation takes about three months, and then it will be fully fermented. At this time, take out the liquid on top, and the ratio for diluting with water is about 1:10. Use it to water the snake plant. It is very beneficial to the growth of the snake plant. And it is also not easy to burn the roots of the snake plant. This kind of good fertilizer that costs no money. Is very easy to use.

While using high-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer for snake plants. We must use a multi-element mixed fertilizer once every one month or two months to prevent malnutrition caused by the lack of some trace element. Be sure to remember this.

In the past, when Xiao Qi grew fewer flowers, I used this kind of self-fermented fertilizer. The leftover rotten vegetable leaves, fish bones, and such from the home kitchen were all collected and fermented by myself. Then used as fertilizer for the flowers. In recent years, the flower shed has been set up. The number of flowers has increased, so I directly buy that kind of imported finished high-nitrogen, high-potassium fertilizer, which is more convenient to use, and also saves me from wasting time fermenting. Of course, I still ferment part of the fertilizer to use for those more expensive, better flowers. When using finished fertilizer, be sure to pay attention, and use it according to the ratio in its instructions, increasing it a little. It won't burn the flowers.
