🧪 How to Apply

Application Frequency

  • Initial Application: When planting or repotting

  • Ongoing Feeding: Reapply every 3–4 months during the growing season (spring through early fall)

  • Dormant Season: Skip fertilization in winter unless in a warm climate with active growth

Recommended Quantity

  • Small Containers (≤5 gallons): 1 tbsp (≈15 g)

  • Medium Containers (5–10 gallons): 2 tbsp (≈30 g)

  • Large Containers (10+ gallons): 3 tbsp (≈45 g), or per label instructions

Steps to Apply

  • Prepare the Container: Ensure soil is evenly moist before applying

  • Apply Fertilizer: Sprinkle fertilizer around the outer edge of the container, avoiding direct contact with the trunk or stem

  • Incorporate: Lightly mix into the top 1–2 inches of soil using a hand trowel

  • Water In: Use a watering can or hose to thoroughly soak the soil and activate nutrient release

🌍 Optimal Soil Conditions

  • Soil pH: 6.0 – 7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral)

  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix with peat moss, perlite, or vermiculite

  • Soil Moisture: Keep evenly moist—never soggy. Let the top inch of soil dry slightly between waterings

  • Organic Matter: Mix in compost to improve nutrient retention and microbial health

  • Container Size & Placement: Ensure pot is large enough for root development and positioned in full sun (6–8+ hrs/day)

Pro Tip from the Farm:
Rotate your container every few weeks to encourage even sun exposure and balanced growth. Apply mulch to help retain moisture and reduce watering frequency.
