does the packaging say how often to feed? I think many times people will fertilize a little more often with a weaker dose of fertilizer - to help avoid burn and help the plant get more nutrients.

I'm a bit scared of some sort of granule to apply to the soil (just me)...but yes, I do weak doses weekly and most everything actively growing loves it.

Interestingly, the packaging says to fertilize flower beds every 4 to 6 weeks, but in the container plant directions, there is nothing about how often to fertilize. I am concerned about burn because I know hibiscus like weak fertilizer often. dbarron, Do you do weak doses of liquid or the granular fertilizer weekly?

Weak weekly is the name, but typically I fert three times or so every time I water (which is often every 2-3 days), and then try to run pure water through to flush.

yep - i only fertilize once every week or two. i have to water more often than that in my area. also in the winter i stop fertilizing as my plants go into a dormant phase for winter.
