Fertilizer

17 years ago

Here I am again with a question: I have a whole bunch of Vigoro Citrus & Avocado Plant Food left over from who knows when. The rate is 12-5-8, which means a lot of nitrogen, right?

Can I use that for my potted Candida. by now 6 ft tall and guess what: flower buds forming, yeah!!!

Haase I am not sure..but I believe I just read recently that someone used OLD fertilizer and burned the @%$&@ out of their plants. Besides having no idea if that fertilizer would be good or not...sorry. Surely you will get a answer REAL FAST!!

Just go easy on your ONE angel lol

Thanks, Lucy. I guess here goes the same rule as with old medicines. Better toss them out.
