Diluted balanced liquid feed once every 6 weeks. Use only half-strength fertilizer to prevent nutrient buildup in compact root systems
Eggshell powder top-dress：Grind dried eggshells to a fine powder; sprinkle a thin layer on soil surface once every 3 months; avoid direct contact with foliage to prevent leaf blemishesPruning
