Feeding for Growth
A plant gets its energy from soil and sun, but it can also absorb nutrients through its leaves. Here are the basics for two methods of feeding. Soil Feeding - Soil naturally has all the nutrients a plant needs for its roots to make a home, but over time, the nutrients can become depleted or build up in pockets that become inaccessible for your plant. Adding soil fertilizer to your watering routine gives your plant a complete vitamin boost. The nutrients stay in the soil and is a good way to keep your plant fed for longer periods of time. Foliar Feeding - Used frequently in gardening to help stimulate growth, foliar fertilizers can be diluted and sprayed onto leaves for faster absorption through the pores in a plantβs foliage. This method is effective in providing micro-doses of iron and zinc, particularly helpful when your plant shows initial signs of nutrient deficiency. Consider this a boost in between doses of soil feeding. Both methods can be used as part of your routine, though not at the same time. We recommend fertilizing every other week during spring and summer and on the days in between, misting 3x week in the morning or early evenings.
