General fertilising was created by Svarog

Posted 5 years 1 month ago #47428
Hey. Couple of questions regarding fertilising.
I was recommended to use Plantella Organik solid (organic, pellets) fertiliser.

- Can i start fertilising now that the temperatures are quite high and there is new growth on the trees?
- Can i fertilise tree that will be repotted in couple of weeks (as far as i know i can't fertilise it for couple of months after the tree was repotted and roots were pruned)
- Is there any general rule for the quantity of fertiliser used per surface or should i follow the instructions on the bag that are for general potted plants?
- Are the pellet baskets a must, or that is just for practical reasons?

Many thanks for all the answers, i know that this is a lot, so thanks again!

Yes.

You can consider it, but personally, I probably wouldn't. You can fertilize after repotting, you can wait after repotting, but you don't have to wait a couple of months.

Is there any general rule for the quantity of fertiliser used per surface or should i follow the instructions on the bag that are for general potted plants?


Follow the instructions on the bag.

Not a must, but it's practical. You can see how much there's still in there, you can easily remove it, it won't flush away when there's heavy rain
