Fertilizing

Morning all,

How soon after potting up rooted plants can I start feeding them with either SuperThrive, or Miracle Grow? At this point I dont want to take a chance on damaging these new plants.

Thanks,

Roger

Oops, I know bad form, but,

forgot to say that I have these potted up in Miracle Grow soil also if that makes any difference.

Sorry startin_from_scratch, we won't recommend MG potting soil and if you are using it best of luck as it's supposedly has MG in it. So why would you want to fertilize when you have it already?? We allow ours to rest for a couple weeks after repotting/cutting of roots or even moving a plant to a different location. Wishing you the best!

Glad you asked this question; some people just have knack for prompting me into digging...(in more ways than one). :) Found this linky, which you may have already found, but it's got some clear information on fertilizing potted cuttings, as well as the aphid and mite problems I've been having. (I'm assuming that info for brugs can also be applied to dats.....??)
