The fertilizer of the garden palms

Being organic matter in the decomposition process, it is ideal to guarantee the proper development of plants as it also improves the properties of the soil, making it looser and more fertile.

In the blog you will find information about each of them by clicking on the names. All of them are more or less slow release, this means that the roots can absorb what they need and when they need it.
Composting potted palms
When you have potted palms, growing conditions change. The roots, being in a limited place such as the pot, cannot grow more than the container itself allows, which means that the fertilizer is even more important, since we not only have to give them that extra food they need, but also that food does not have to worsen the drainage of the water since otherwise we would suffocate the plants.
With what to pay them then? It is highly recommended to fertilize with mineral fertilizers, or with liquid organic fertilizers. In both cases, the indications specified on the product package must be followed to avoid the risk of overdose. You should know that they have a quick release, so the effect is almost immediate (not instantly, but the next day you may notice something ).
