Planted on the balcony, it has attracted quite a few fans who love "fingertip bonsai." The balcony gardeners were thoroughly conquered by this small and perfect little wonder.

Many balcony gardeners also followed the steps in the site owner's articles, chose materials, and made fingertip bonsai, looking forward to these fingertip-sized bonsai also displaying natural seasonal landscapes.

But hey, this fingertip bonsai, besides having tricks for delicate crafting, also has care methods different from large bonsai and large potted plants, and needs a bit of technique!

Because plants are grown in fingertip-sized containers, the nutrients in the pot are lost too quickly, so you must be sure to increase nutrients, that is, fertilize.

When should you fertilize fingertip bonsai?

This requires observation!

Every day you must carefully observe your beloved fingertip bonsai, and after observing and confirming changes in its condition, supplement with appropriate fertilizer.

If the fertilizer in the soil is insufficient, the plant's leaves will become dull in color and it will be unable to sprout for a long time.

Uh, here comes the key question: how do you fertilize this fingertip potted plant?

Generally speaking, liquid fertilizer is applied twice a month, and solid fertilizer is applied twice a year.

Use liquid fertilizer and solid fertilizer differently

Fertilizer is divided intosolid fertilizerandliquid fertilizertwo types.

Liquid fertilizeris a solution made by dissolving chemical fertilizer in water, and is a fertilizer that can take effect immediately.

Its effect lasts a relatively short time, and it must be diluted and added repeatedly to be effective. During the plant's growing season, use it twice a month to ensure a sufficient amount of fertilizer.

Solid fertilizeris generally oil-based or powdery, and has a considerable lasting effect. It can be applied twice a year, in spring (May) and autumn (September) respectively.

How to use liquid fertilizer and solid fertilizer

How to use liquid fertilizer

1. Dilute it according to the dilution ratio stated on the liquid fertilizer packaging before use.

2. Use tools such as a curved-spout oil can to apply fertilizer at positions such as the plant roots inserted into the soil.

How to use solid fertilizer

1. What is more suitable for fingertip bonsai is best fertilizer developed for vegetables and wild herbaceous plants.

2. Place the solid fertilizer in your hand and pick up one granule with tweezers.

3. Dig a small hole in the sphagnum moss and moss, use tweezers to put the solid fertilizer in and press it firm, placing about two granules per pot.

Perhaps the method looks very simple, but carrying it out really requires the balcony gardener's patience, carefulness and endurance.

The site owner must admit that fingertip bonsai is really quite difficult to care for. If you are not careful, it will either wither and die or look listless...

Best advice: if you like it, please give it lots of care (follow)!

All right, that is all for today. If balcony gardeners still have any questions they hope the site owner will answer, leave a message in the comment section below.

I do not know whether the site owner explained it clearly and in detail. For balcony gardeners who did not understand, the site owner has specially written an acrostic poem for you. It may not be well written, but it can help you find the site owner.

More wonderful and brilliant articles are all in an acrostic poem:

A gentle breeze lightly strokes, flowers remain ever present

Strolling in spirit, wandering the southern slope of the mountain

Searching for wonders and seeking cleverness at Copper Sparrow Terrace

Planting red and setting green, above the blue clouds

--Come challenge: four lines of an acrostic-and-tail poem. Link the first characters + link the last characters, and you can get an eight-character motto to summon the site owner's true form! When you come, remember to say: "Site owner, your secret has been cracked by me"!

Planted on the balcony, learning has no end.
