Do you noticed your ugu plants dried up gradually after you applied fertilizer on it?
What can you do to revive it again?

Do you think it the fertilizer that's shrinking it?

First question should be - which of the fertilizer did you use?

So, sorry. Fertilizers should be applied 5cm away from from the root of the plant, and applying the right quantity is very important. There is nothing you can do than to irrigate it with enough water.

Fertilizers are applied at 5 gram per plant and 5-10 cm away from the root zone.

Irrigate your ugu plants morning and evening to step down the acidity of the fertilizer. Enough water morning and evening

Next time, use NPK 20 10 10.

Knowing the causes behind this issue and how to address it is important for preventing future losses.

One of the most common reasons ugu plants die after applying fertilizer is over-fertilization. Applying too much fertilizer can lead to a condition known as fertilizer burn. This occurs when excessive nutrients, particularly salts, accumulate in the soil, drawing moisture out of the plant roots and causing them to dehydrate.

The leaves may turn yellow or brown, starting from the edges and tips, and the plant may wilt or dry up. If you suspect over-fertilization, flush the soil with plenty of water to wash away excess nutrients.
