This is not to say that palm trees contained at home are unpretentious plants. Rather, on the contrary, palm trees are in great need of appropriate care, which boils down to proper soil selection, timely watering, protection from pests and diseases, and processing with mineral and organic fertilizers.
In order to grow a healthy and strong tropical plant at home, you need to make sure that the soil in which it grows is saturated with nutrients. You should know that the introduction of organic and mineral substances is carried out in two ways: directly through the root system of the plant and in the form of foliar top dressing.
Fertilizing the root system of the palm tree
The process of watering a plant with mineral or organic fertilizers does not represent anything complicated. It is enough to purchase the appropriate product in a special store, mix it with water in the right proportions and, in fact, you can start to fertilize the substrate.
In order to water your palm as efficient as possible, you should follow a few simple rules. In order to avoid burns to the root system of the plant, before applying fertilizers, carefully pour the soil with clean cold water. Fertilize the soil only after two to three weeks after transplanting a palm tree. It is necessary to let the plant get used to it in a new place, to take root and get sick.
It is undesirable to apply mineral and organic fertilizers to the soil in the winter months - during the rest of the plant. Fertilizing the soil in autumn is possible only with fertilizer mixtures in which the nitrogen content is low.
Dilute fertilizers in accordance with the instructions on the factory packaging. Too much fertilizer in the solution can burn the entire root system of the palm. When preparing the solution, one must proceed from the principle: it is better not to overfeed than overfeed.
