Instructions
Mix: Add the fertilizer to the water according to its label directions. Don’t make the solution
stronger than recommended.
Water the plant: Apply the mixture to the soil around the plant rather than directly onto the
flowers or leaves.
Use sparingly: Feed only as often as the fertilizer label recommends.
Give proper light: Most flowering plants need plenty of appropriate light to produce buds.
Avoid overwatering: Allow the soil requirements of the particular plant to guide when you water.
The Real Blooming Secret
For faster, healthier flowering, focus on adequate light, correct watering, appropriate temperature,
and a fertilizer suited to the plant. Too much fertilizer—especially homemade mixtures such as
sugar, coffee grounds, or baking soda—can damage roots rather than produce more flowers.
