@PoshClusia37 what kind of fertilizer do you have?
I get the liquid kind that has the measuring cap/lid thingy 😊 diluted with water in your watering can per amount of water is pretty easy to start with. Or organic ones you can add to the soil by pinch or teaspoon.
Gregs fertilizer feature needs a lot of tweaking I noticed. I agree with @SteffyHazPlants! I use a liquid fertilizer that I just follow the dilution instructions on the bottle. I fertilize with every watering, but depending on your environment starting with every other watering can be good to monitor fertilizer burn. 😊
@Kapuac it definitely does. I actually turned mine off and manage in my own now since I use the dilution watering method too.
I turn the fertilizer reminders off, but I also use liquid plant “food” with every watering, rather than actual fertilizer on a schedule. Either way, I’d recommend following the instructions on whichever product you have/get and ignore the app’s reminders/instructions.
