fertilization on Dracaena Marginata
Quick answer
If your Dracaena Marginata has fertilization, the most likely cause is: Dracaena marginata 'Bicolor' fertilization with NPK 19:19:19 at 1g per plant monthly combined with trace element spray (Fe, Mn, Zn) at 50-100ppm produces optimal vegetative growth including plant height, leaf count, and carbohydrate content. Excessive NPK (3-4g) decreases growth.
Start here:
- 1. Apply NPK 19:19:19 water-soluble fertilizer at 1g per plant monthly
- 2. Dissolve trace elements (Fe 6%, Zn 12%, Mn 10%) at 50-100ppm in water
