🧪 How to Apply

Application Frequency

  • Growing Season (Spring–Late Summer): Every 4–6 weeks

  • Dormant Season (Fall–Winter): Reduce or pause if tree is not actively growing indoors

Recommended Quantity

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

  • Medium Containers (6–15 gal): 2–3 tbsp (≈30–45g)

  • Large Containers (16+ gal): 4–6 tbsp (≈60–90g) or per label instructions

Steps to Apply

  • Prepare the Soil: Ensure soil is lightly moist before applying

  • Distribute Fertilizer: Sprinkle evenly around the outer edge of the container, avoiding direct contact with the trunk

  • Incorporate Gently: Mix lightly into the top 1–2 inches of soil

  • Water Thoroughly: Use a watering can or hose to help nutrients release and absorb

🌍 Optimal Soil Conditions

  • Soil pH: 5.5 – 7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral)

  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining mix with peat moss, perlite, compost, and pine bark

  • Moisture: Keep consistently moist, but avoid soggy conditions—top inch of soil should dry slightly between waterings

  • Organic Matter: Incorporate compost or worm castings for improved nutrient retention

  • Drainage: Always use pots with drainage holes to prevent root rot

Pro Tip from the Farm:
Tropical trees love consistency—maintain regular feedings, rotate for even sun exposure, and mulch to lock in moisture and keep roots cool during peak heat.
