Method 3: Liquid fertilizer

Liquid fertilizer refers to the method of mixing inorganic or organic fertilizer with water in a certain ratio to make an aqueous solution and using it to water the potting soil. Liquid fertilizer takes effect faster than solid fertilizer, but you should pay attention to the solution concentration to avoid burning the roots due to too high a concentration.
