Re: information
Sir i can tell you about cacti and succulents....they have less nitrogen requirement and high potassium and phosphorus needs.suffi wrote:sir, i have some ornamental plant , like lily, roses , cactus varieties and some fruit plants both in pot and soil
Give them half a teaspoon of DAP fertilizer once on start of every growing season..Avoid foliar fertilizers as they may burn the plants.
Potassium and magnesium in very minute quantity ..about a quarter teaspoon should be applied just before flowering commences and not the whole growing season.
Growing season is from mid March to late September
These quantities are recommended for a 12 inch containerized plant... the quantity will increase with size of pot.
These are the quantities of fertilizer that i personally use for my cacti plants not taken from other internet sources...so i might be wrong scientifically but it works for me so

Re: potting mix
I think that will vary from plant to plant. What plants are you interested in? Readers can then suggest possibilities.Dr Babar Matin wrote:What could be an ideal potting mix in karachi.
