Succulent-specific fertilizer can promote the growth of succulents and ensure their survival rate. Succulent-specific fertilizer can also be used on other plants, but it is best to choose a dedicated nutrient solution or fertilizer to avoid fertilizer burn.
Can succulent-specific fertilizer be used on other plants?
Succulent-specific fertilizers can be used on other plants, but you must pay attention to the ingredients to avoid fertilizer burn. Generally speaking, succulent-specific fertilizers are designed primarily to provide nutrients for succulents , and their ingredients and concentrations may not be suitable for other types of plants. Therefore, it is not recommended to use succulent-specific fertilizers directly on other plants.
If you want to provide nutrients for other plants, you can choose nutrient solutions or fertilizers suitable for those plants. Different types of plants have different nutrient needs and absorption capacities, so providing them with nutrient solutions or fertilizers appropriate for their growth is a better choice. When fertilizing plants, be sure to apply the appropriate amount according to the instructions and the plant's needs to avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to root burn and other adverse consequences.
How to use fertilizer specifically for succulents?
1. Succulent Nutrient Solution
Succulent nutrient solution is a fertilizer specifically for succulents. It has a wide range of applications. Because it contains relatively few nutrients, its fertilizer effect is mild but its duration is not very long. Therefore, the interval between fertilizations should not be too long. It usually needs to be used once a month or even once every 20 days. However, it must be diluted according to the instructions before use.
2. Long-acting slow-release fertilizer
Slow-release fertilizer is also a suitable fertilizer for succulents. Its biggest feature is that the fertilizer effect is released slowly and the fertilizer power is relatively mild. Under normal circumstances, slow-release fertilizer can continuously release fertilizer power for one month or even two or three months, continuously nourishing the roots of succulents, making its leaves thicker and its roots stronger.
3. Carbendazim solution
Carbendazim is best used in summer. During the summer, you can water the soil of succulents with a diluted carbendazim solution every month, with a concentration not exceeding 0.01%. Regularly watering with carbendazim solution will greatly reduce the risk of root rot in succulents.
