Watch for signs to fertilize

June 08, 2009 By: Organic Gardener Category: Soil Needs

If you are not nourishing your plants on a regular basis, it is time to take a close look at your plants. Just like humans, plants need nutrients. They need them from the moment you put them in the soil, and they need them on a regular basis. When plants receive proper nutrition, safe fertilizer (plant food) and supplemental plant vitamins, they will grow and thrive.

Your plants will let you know if they are not receiving proper nutrition:

Green leaves begin to look yellow Lawns may become spotty or lighter in color Blooming and new growth slows or comes to a halt Plants begin to look spindly and weak

It is estimated that less than 50% of gardeners provide their plants with proper nutrition. Many do not apply safe fertilizer at all. As we enter the warmer weather, plants’ roots begin to stretch further through the soil to seek more food. If you have not already started, now is the perfect time to begin a regular “fertilizing” program and keep a close eye on your plants to ensure that you have beautiful, healthy plants.  

You can actually give your plants all the nutrition (plant food and plant vitamins) they need in one single easy spray. The Perfect Blend is a mixture of plant vitamins- Spray-N-Grow, plant food – Bill’s Perfect Fertilizer, and a wetting agent – Coco-Wet. When mixed together, these products provide your plants with all the nutrients that they need to grow and thrive.

Simply spray the leaves of all your plants with The Perfect Blend every 7-30 days.

For indoor plants, we suggest watering with The Perfect Blend once a month. If you want to foliar feed your indoor plants, we suggest spraying them outside and letting them dry for one hour before bringing them inside. The best time to nourish your plants is before 9:00am, or in the evening after 5:00pm. You will get maximum results if you spray your plants when your soil is moist and the foliage is dry.
