Application Guidelines

When to Apply

• Apply in early spring as plants emerge from dormancy and begin active growth.
• Ensure soil temperatures are between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C) for optimal nutrient uptake.
• Reapply every 6–8 weeks during the growing season, as needed.

How to Apply

• Pre-Planting:
  • Mix 1–2 tablespoons per gallon of soil into the top 3–4 inches before planting.
• Top Dressing (Established Plants):
  • Apply 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil around the plant base, keeping a few inches from the stem.
  • Lightly work into the soil surface and water thoroughly to deliver nutrients to roots.
• For Heavy Feeders:
  • Do not exceed 3 tablespoons per gallon of soil in a single application to avoid over-fertilization.
• Monitoring: Watch for signs of nutrient deficiency (yellowing leaves) or excess (leaf burn) and adjust accordingly.

Tips for Success

• Soil Temperature: Maintain 60°F–70°F for effective nutrient absorption.
• Timing: Apply in early spring to align with the growth cycle of heavy feeders.
• Avoid Over-Fertilization: Follow recommended rates to prevent nutrient runoff or plant stress.
• Watering: Water thoroughly after application to activate the slow-release formula.
• Plant Health: Regularly check for nutrient imbalances and adjust fertilization as needed.
