How to apply fertilizers to the folium

Foliar fertilizers can be applied when the plant's active growth is taking place. This allows them to absorb the nutrients faster. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
You should know which type of fertilizer you require. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you are unsure which product you require, ask your local nursery or garden center.
-
Please read the instructions carefully. Before spraying, be sure to read and understand the label. Avoid spraying near windows or doors as this could cause damage. Keep away from children and pets
-
Use a hose attachment if available. Turn off the nozzle after each few sprays to avoid excessive spraying.
-
Mixing different types is a dangerous thing. Mixing two types of fertilizers can lead to harmful side effects such as leaf burning and staining.
-
Spray at least five to six feet from the trunk. At least three feet should be spaced between the trunk of the tree and the edge where you plan on applying the fertilizer.
-
Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight causes the fertilizer's light-sensitive chemicals to become inactive.
-
Apply the fertilizer evenly to the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.

Allow the fertilizer time to dry completely before watering.
