If planting tropical plants is on the
list this time, there is a specific kind of soil and fertilizer that you will
needs. Let’s find out what this type is.
Check
the Quality Of The Fertilizers
A
good quality fertilizer will surely not be a cheap - for a fertilizer of
superior quality you need to spend some extra money. The golden rule of buying
a good quality fertilizers states to buy contents instead of brands as they
will cost more and still be a compromise with product value. Expensive
fertilizer contents have better plant food value and provide the soil with
important nutrients for a longer period of time.
Understanding the
Essential Contents Of Fertilizer
While
checking out different brands of fertilizers, you might have noticed that the
bags are marked with a set of three numbers like 2-5-8. This set of number is a
label to the essential content of fertilizer, where the first number marks the
nitrogen content, second number is for phosphorus content and potassium is
marked with the third number. Thus, the selection of the fertilizer should
always be dependent upon the requirements by the soil and should be kept in
rotation.
Feeding the Plants
With Nutritious Fertilizers
Because
fertilizers enhance the nutritive value of the soil and turn up as an essential
component of plant’s diet, it is important that you decide on the balanced
fertilizer feed as per the requirements of a plant. For instant a plant that
requires enhanced content of acid in diet should be nourished with acid forming
fertilizers for proper nourished growth and preserved food values. Moreover the
fertilizer should be uniformly sprinkled in a drip line manner around the plant
surroundings.
Balancing Soil With Appropriate
Fertilizer Contents
Different
agricultural and horticultural universities globally recommend fertilizing the
soil at least four times a year with alteration in basic nutrients. However,
the selection of fertilizers is certainly dependent on the climatic conditions
and other natural features like soil type, availability of water and sunlight.
Besides fertilizing the soil with chemical fertilizers, it is important to
balance it with organic manures and give the organic content enough time to formulate
throughout the soil enhancing its natural value. Moreover, the soil should be fertilized with high nitrogen content at the time of pellets and with low
contents of nitrogen for fruits and flowers.
Buying Best Quality Soil For Tropical Plants
Having the best quality of soil for
tropical plants is certainly more essential than getting the right combination
of fertilizers. Good quality soil content should have a balanced permutation of
natural ingredients like moss, charcoal chips, wooden or pine bark chips,
composted manure, dehydrated manure with seed hulls and mushroom compost.
Besides all such natural elements, the soil should also have a balanced ratio
of fungicides, insecticides with a blended composition of top and potting soil.
