I read in one of my many plant books (I'm thinking Thalassa Cruso was the author) that it is not advisable to fertilize dry plants, that we should water them, then when they are still damp, add water soluble fertilizer. A day or so can elapse between the watering and the fertilizing, but I'm thinking of watering till the pot holes drain, then adding my water soluble liquid fertilizer right after.

Apparently, its bad for a dry root system to be hit with fertilizer, even when combined with water.

Still trying to figure if this is too much water...any thoughts? Thanks
