Anyone have any advice for fertilizer for M-Speciosa?
I was thinking of using the 15-6-6 liquid fert I use on my SD but am not sure if this is cool or not.
Also, these seedlings are only 3 weeks old and am wondering at what stage I should try a diluted fertilizer on them.
Thanks in advance
I use a light kelp fert for the overwintering of my plant, she put out about 1 foot of growth this winter. For the spring I am going to use compost tea's, but who knows what would be a good fert?
I hear the 15-6-6 fert I use opn my SD should be ok.
Thanks
So any new developments on ferts for MS ?
Well i found out why mine aren't growing as fast as others are.
I used a soilless mix. No nutrient's. So the good thing is that i havent had a single wisp of mold. But, the no nutrients also makes the plants grow really slow so i need to give them a shot of something to help them get along. Mine have been up for a good 3 weeks now i guess and i still havent got to the true leaves yet.
well im going to give it a shot.
Using bio grow liquid nutrient in the strength of 1ml per 500 ml's of water to start on the small seedlings. Im going to apply with a dropper with 1 ml every 2 days on a few small flats to see how it works. Maybe some good growth will become of this.
I think that is normal for the rate of growth of M speciosa.
Mine did not have their tru leaves for around a month or so and even now they are growing very slowly.
The temp and humidity are major factors in the growth rate and 25c seems to be when they start to grow quickly.
kewl i will bump the temps up a bit and see if that also helps. I only ferted a few of the flats so there are many many non ferted ones to see if there is any difference. Thanks for the input.
