Kindly did you mean foliar fertilizers? or number of leaves for per plant please clarify. If you're asking for foliage fertilizers then you can use the following products depending on stage of the growth
1. Easy grow starter(high in phosphorus)for newly planted probably after 7-14 days from planting date of planting to encourage root development
2.Easy grow vegetative (high in Nitrogen)for vigorous leaf and stem development from day 21from date of planting repeated after every 7-14 days
3.Rossasol K (high in potassium ) suitable during hot weather to help crop minimize water loss.
NOTE: -these fertilizers can also applied during nursery propagation
- There are also other products in the market manufactured by different companies e.g Omex and may more you only need to look at specific elements composition that's when you want phosphorus for example then the product should have high percentage of Phosphorus (P) same to others
Thank you and please feel free to ask for any information that may not be clear to you at this point
