🍲 What Fertilizer to Use Now and How?
Part 1. What are important keys to healthy plants

❓ Q: It's early Spring this year. Should I start fertilizing my plants sooner than usual?

• ✔️ A: Most fertilizer instructions recommend fertilizing tropical plants from March to November. This is because plants don't need as much food during the cooler months when many go dormant, and excess nutrients can burn the roots if not absorbed. However, for the most effective fertilizer program and healthy plants, consider these points:
• ✔️ Sunshine Boosters Year-Round


Liquid amino-acid-based fertilizers like Sunshine Boosters are safe to use year-round. Since watering is reduced in cooler weather, the intake of water-soluble fertilizer is also lower, providing plants with just the essential nutrients for their minimal needs.
• ✔️ Dry Fertilizer Schedule


Be cautious with dry fertilizers. Apply them only during active growth in the hot season.
• ✔️ Temperature Is Key


If March is still cold, delay dry fertilizer use. However, if nighttime temperatures in February stay above 65F, you can start a dry fertilizer program using slow-release, granulated plant food.
