🧪 Understanding the 14-14-14 NPK Ratio

NutrientRole in Plant Health
Nitrogen (14%)Fuels lush foliage and strong vegetative growth
Phosphorus (14%)Promotes healthy root development and prolific flowering
Potassium (14%)Strengthens stems, supports fruit production, and improves drought resistance

Balanced nutrition like this is perfect for compact fruiting plants and flowering ornamentals in confined soil spaces like baskets.

📅 When & How to Apply

Best Time to Apply

Apply in early spring, just before or as plants begin to grow. The slow-release formula will continue feeding for 6–8 weeks.

🔧 Application Instructions

Basket SizeAmount to Apply
Small (≤12 inches)1–2 tablespoons
Medium (12–18 in)2–3 tablespoons
Large (18+ in)3–4 tablespoons
  • Prep Soil
    Ensure your potting mix is lightly moist to prevent root burn.

  • Incorporate
    Mix granules into the top 1–2 inches of soil using fingers or a small trowel. Avoid placing granules directly on stems or leaves.

  • Water Thoroughly
    After application, water the basket to begin the nutrient release process.

  • Reapplication
    Most hanging baskets only require one application per season. If your mix suggests otherwise, reapply in midsummer.

🌡 Soil & Seasonal Tips

  • Ideal Soil Temperature: 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C)

  • Best Season: Early spring for optimal root growth and bloom initiation

  • Avoid Heat Stress: Don’t fertilize during the heat of the day
