All About PLANT FERTILIZER Food 🍀 Indoor/Outdoor Plants🍀 How Apply Powder, Liquid & Spike Fertilizer

Описание: Learn all about plant fertilizer for indoor and outdoor plants in simple language! Shirley Bovshow explains the difference between powder fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, and spike fertilizers and how to use them correctly.

Think of plant fertilizer as nutrition supplements for plants that provide important macronutrients such as nitrogen for green leafy growth, phosphorus for fruit and flower vigor, and potassium for the overall health and vigor of a plant. Every package of fertilizer has three numbers separated by dashes on the label. For instance, "10-10-10" on a package represents the ratio of ingredients beginning with how much nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium a fertilizer formula contains!

You will learn what these numbers represent after watching this gardening video!

Shirley demonstrates how to apply powder and granular fertilizer to outdoor plants that are planted in the ground or in containers. The plant-feeding process begins with watering your plants first before fertilizing them. Next, powder or granular fertilizer is scratched into the soil and watered again.

Indoor plants can be fertilized using liquid fertilizer but it's too expensive to use outdoors on landscape plants. Shirley demonstrates how to mix the liquid fertilizer with the proper amount of water and feed your indoor plants.
Indoor houseplants can also be sprayed with fertilizer as the leaves absorb the liquid food through it's stomata or "pores." Leaves have pores just as we have pores in our skin and they are highly absorbant.

Lastly, learn how to use fertilizer spikes correctly and learn the pro and cons of using this type of "set it and forget it" plant fertilizer.
