When to fertilize?

15 years ago

Was wondering when I should dtart to fertilize? Plumeria have been asleep since Nov and not been watered since then. I just pulled the plants out to put in the sun. Should they be fertilized with the first watering or some other time? Thank you in advance.

I would wait until they absorb some of that water first. Maybe in a week or so you could give them a light feeding of water soluable fertilizer.

I usually don't fertilize untill the plant has put out 2 or 3 leaves. Before that I'll increase the watering to once every 10 days. Then when leaves appear,I'll use a liqiud organic 4-2-1 and a little epsom salt, 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Right now the main ingredient Plumies need are warmth and light.
