Fertilizing pothos and spider plants carelessly is like feeding them poison: every pot you keep, you kill

Anyone who has grown plants knows that flowers won't thrive without fertilizer, but each kind of flower needs different nutrients in different seasons, especially pothos, spider plants, money trees... If you fertilize carelessly, you'll only torture the plants to death and end up with nothing to show for it! Today, Huahua will explain in detail exactly which fertilizers these plants need.

Pothos: spray on a bit of urea and beer

Suitable fertilizer:

Nitrogen-potassium fertilizer. Things like urea, compound fertilizer granules, ammonium sulfate (concentration 0.3%); or homemade beer water (diluted with water at 1:20), or vitamin B mixed evenly with water - these are all fertilizer solutions pothos loves to drink. It's best to fertilize pothos once every 10 days; keep fertilizing through spring, summer and autumn, and it will make the pothos leaves big and green.

Fertilizing precautions

：

Don't add strongly irritating fertilizers, such as kitchen waste fertilizer, fish fertilizer, manure fertilizer and the like; they have little effect on pothos and are highly irritating, so it's best not to use them on pothos.

Spider plant: water with rice-washing water, tuck in eggshells

Suitable fertilizer:

Nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer. Fermented rice-washing water, water from soaked soybeans, crushed eggshells, peanut shells and melon-seed shells are all fertilizers for spider plants; adding them twice a month is enough. Rainwater and water from keeping fish are also suitable for watering spider plants, and can be used at any time, which can stimulate spider plants to produce lots of little pups.

Fertilizing precautions

：

Spider plants actually have a "light taste" and aren't suited to heavily flavored fertilizers like manure; add it and the leaves turn yellow and the plant dies on the spot.

Money tree: add organic fertilizer, water with bean water fertilizer

Suitable fertilizer:

Nitrogen fertilizer. You can directly buy organic fertilizer granules and add them twice a month, or make your own bean fertilizer: boil soybeans and soak them in water, ferment for 2 weeks, and once fermented dilute with water (1:200) to water the money tree. Summer is exactly its growing season, and a money tree with plenty of fertilizer will keep sprouting new leaves!

Fertilizing precautions

：

Apart from the spring, summer and autumn growing seasons, it's best not to fertilize the money tree; it grows slowly in winter, and adding fertilizer easily causes fertilizer burn, and before you know it, it's dead again.

Asparagus fern: water with urea, cake fertilizer water

Suitable fertilizer:

Nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. Urea (concentration 0.2%) or compound fertilizer will do; if making your own, you can dilute the cake left after oil pressing with water and ferment it for 1-2 months, then once it becomes fertilizer water, dilute with water (1:200) to water the asparagus fern; once a week and it will grow like crazy.

Fertilizing precautions

：

Fertilized asparagus ferns easily bloom; once blooming, don't fertilize again, as it easily causes flower drop. After each fertilizing, spray the leaves with clean water to prevent the fertilizer from burning the asparagus fern leaves yellow.

Lucky bamboo: soak with vitamin C and rusty iron nails

Suitable fertilizer:

Liquid fertilizer and chemical fertilizer. Lucky bamboo is quite down-to-earth; generally any flower nutrient solution can be given a couple of drops, but the old-fashioned methods work even better: toss 2 rusty iron nails into the bottle, or add a tablet of vitamin C or amoxicillin, all of which can prevent yellow leaves and promote rooting.

Fertilizing precautions:

No need to add too much fertilizer; just put in one kind at a time. The water for keeping lucky bamboo also needs to be changed once every 3-5 days, and tap water should be left to sit for half a day to remove chlorine before use.

Succulents: add slow-release fertilizer, water with fruit-peel water

Suitable fertilizer:

Slow-release fertilizer and organic fertilizer. Slow-release fertilizer is generally sold in flower shops and can be placed at the bottom of the pot or on the surface; for organic fertilizer, we can ferment fruit peels ourselves: soak the peels in water and ferment for 1 month, and when there's hardly any smell, it means it's fermented; dilute with water (1:200) and water into the soil, once a month, and the succulents grow fatter and fatter!

Fertilizing precautions:

When burying fertilizer into the soil, be careful not to damage the roots, and when watering with fertilizer water, don't get it on the leaves, as it easily causes rot.

Cactus: bury banana peels, sprinkle plant ash

Suitable fertilizer:

Phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. It's said cacti grow slowly, but actually as long as you add a bit of fertilizer, they'll grow just as fast; usually sprinkle 2-3 grams of plant ash on the soil surface, or mix dried banana peel residue into the soil, and it will make the cactus grow quickly. Heavy-flavored manure fertilizer also works, and can even promote blooming.

Fertilizing precautions:

Fertilizer is highly irritating, so when fertilizing, try not to get it on the cactus itself. In spring, summer and autumn you can fertilize once a month, and in winter you can stop fertilizing.
