What fertilizer is best for spider plants? A detailed guide to fertilizing methods

I. Fertilizing time

Spider plants have a certain demand for fertilizer, and you need to pay attention to this normally. First is the fertilizer used when planting, that is, the base fertilizer. Then, when it grows relatively fast, it is best to also apply a certain amount of fertilizer regularly.

II. Types of fertilizer

For the base fertilizer, you can choose a solid fertilizer, animal manure, or simply use bone meal instead. The fertilizer used during the growing period is mainly some liquid fertilizer. In addition, because it is a foliage plant, you also need to use some foliar fertilizer.

III. Fertilizing methods

1. After the base fertilizer is chosen, just mix it directly with the prepared soil. Liquid fertilizer can be purchased from a store, then diluted with water according to the instructions, and afterward applied to the surface part of the substrate so that it slowly seeps into the deeper layers. Foliar fertilizer, as the name suggests, is applied to the surface of the spider plant's leaves to make its leaves look better.

2. The number of fertilizer applications does not need to be too many. Depending on the specific situation, once or twice a month is enough.

IV. Precautions

1. Do not fertilize when the temperature is unsuitable. Specifically, when the temperature is above 30°C, or below 5°C, it is not suitable to fertilize.

2. Also, after fertilizing, it is best to water a little, which can dilute the fertilizer and avoid fertilizer burn.
