Liquid Fertilizers
Concentrated fertilizers are diluted in clean water snd applied to the potting compost at ten to fourteen-day intervals during summer.

If the potting compost is dry, first water it.This is because when it is dry there is a risk of the fertilizer damaging the roots.Also ,if it is dry the soil-ball contracts and leaves a gap around the inside of the pot, through which water and fertilizer will escape and be wasted.

Throughly agitate the water, ensuring that the fertilizer is completely mixed.Use before the plant food has had time to settle.

Do not apply liquid fertilizers to dry compost as it may then damage roots or run out of the gap between the soil-ball and inside the pot.
