How To
How to apply Foliar Fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers can be applied directly to plants' leaves by spraying. Foliar fertilizers are used to provide nutrients to plants. They also help to increase photosynthesis and water retention, resist disease, protect against pests and promote growth. They can be used to treat any plant, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, grasses, and lawns.
Foliar fertilizers don't pose any risk to soil pollution. The type of plant, how large it is, and the amount of foliage it has all affect the amount of fertilizer that is required. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. Follow these steps when fertilizing your garden.
-
Be sure to understand what type of fertilizer is needed. Some products contain just one nutrient. Others include multiple elements. Ask your local nursery if you don’t know what product you need.
-
Follow the directions carefully. Read the label before application. Spraying near windows or doors could cause damage. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. If you don't want to spray too much, make sure to turn off your nozzle after each few sprays.

Mixing different types can lead to dangerous results. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
-
Spray at least five ft from the trunk. It is important to leave at least three foot between the tree trunks, and the edge of any area you intend to apply the fertilizer.

Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight can cause light-sensitive chemicals in fertilizer to disintegrate.

Before watering, let the fertilizer dry completely.
