If we’re talking about miraclegro fertilizer, do not use every time you water. Only use every 3-4 months, whenever the plant starts to decline in growth speed OR as directed on the bottle 😊
There are people who fertilise every watering with a heavily diluted concentration. I'm not an expert but I stick with, every 1-2 months using a slightly more diluted dosage than what's stated on the packaging, so long as I can see new growth.
One like this? That says food? You can if you water every couple weeks. I personally go a little longer… more like every other month while the plants are in their growing season
I’m fertilizing with every watering now. All the nursery people and plant shop owners I talk to say their plants get a very dilute amount of fertilizer every watering. That’s why their plants look so good. Emphasis on very diluted. I use liquid fertilizer at one half of recommended amount. So currently the directions say 1/4 teaspoon per quart of water. I’m using 1/8 teaspoon. I’m seeing good results especially with peace lily, syngonium and snake plants.
