Rules of foliar feeding: Gardening advice

You can use foliar feeding as your best way of feeding your plants, but you should do it correctly to get the most benefits.

Luckily, it's not that hard - and we're glad to present the most basic but effective rules of this gardening method.

Let's find out more!

Choose the Right Time

It's best to spray nutrients in the morning or late afternoon when it's not too hot or sunny. Avoid doing it when the sun is scorching.

Use the Right Nutrients

Pick the appropriate fertilizer or nutrients for your plants. You can find special foliar fertilizers at gardening stores.

Mix Properly

Follow the instructions on the fertilizer package. Mix it with water in the right proportions. Don't make it too strong or too weak.

Spray Evenly

Use a sprayer to spray the nutrient mixture evenly on both sides of the plant leaves. Make sure you cover all the leaves.

Avoid Dripping

Try not to let the nutrient mixture drip onto the soil. You want it to stay on the leaves.

Repeat Carefully

Don't overdo it. Foliar feeding is usually done once every few weeks. Too much can harm your plants.

Watch for Reactions

Keep an eye on your plants after foliar feeding. 

If you notice any negative reactions like wilting or burning leaves, stop and water the plants to wash off the nutrients.

Conclusion

Do everything carefully - and this simple gardening method will work perfectly for you and your plants!
