Young sequoias are happy to receive a regular fertilizer
You must pay attention to the mammoth tree
Did you know that you can increase the growth of your redwood through the appropriate fertilizer? Here you will get valuable tips on which funds you use best and what time is recommended for an enrichment of the substrate.
At what time do you fertilize?
From a height of one meter, your Sequoia is big enough to set him outdoors. First, the earth is still rich in important minerals, so your sequoia can provide itself. From the second year, however, you should help with fertilizer, especially since the crop due to its rapid growth has a relatively high demand. Suitable for this is spring, because at this time your redwood will recover from winter dormancy and form new shoots. Young plants need a lot of fertilizer to optimally develop their root system. Once your Sequoia has developed into a respectable tree, one-year fertilization is still recommended, but not so crucial for growth.
Suitable agents
To fertilize your Sequoias you have a choice of different options:
tip
It is best to use a fertilizer that releases slowly. Not only can you make mature compost yourself at low cost, the applied layer also protects against the evaporation of irrigation water. This saves you water costs and effort.
Beware of mineral fertilizer
If you decide to use mineral fertilizer, sufficient irrigation is required so that the material spreads well in the soil. Too high concentrations attack the roots of the sequoia.
Requirements for the Kübelhaltung
In the Kübelhaltung the amount of the substrate is limited, so the mineral deposits are lower. After you have fertilized your Sequoia in the spring, you should repeat the measure three months later.
