Marie, just when you think it is beautiful enough...it gets better. What a beauty! May I ask how often you fertilize and what you use?

Thank you Susana, I normally use osmocote 14 14 14 and 20 20 20 for liquid mix. This year one nursery owner recommended me to use color star fertilizer. It was kinda expensive in the store, so he got me 50 lbs bag at garden wholesale supply with his garden license. (to share with friends, less than $3 per lb.) I mix about 20 to 25% into my osmocote and feed them twice per year at regular feeding time.

Man, this fertilizer works, most of my plants with full heads of blooms right now.

I will post many more soon, in waiting for more buds to open.

Many of my friends also noted and very happy with their plants.

If anybody wants some message me..

Marie

Marie, what is you fertilizing schedule if you don't mind telling...

Spacecoastfl, not at all. I want my garden friends' plants to bloom like my plants. So we can post and share. First feeding is at the beginning of growing season. When I move them from inside my garage out, (first feeding). Second time, around end of July or mid August. No fertilizer in the winter.

Please ask more question, I am learning along with many people in this forum.

Do you just use granulated slow release fertilizer? Twice a year?

Yes, plus liquid mix once every 3-4 weeks. Less if we are having too much rain.

Marie

What soil mixture do you use?

I used Miracle Gro potting mix, add perlite.

Very simple mix, I use it for all my desert rose plants, big and small.

Yes, Marie, the email is from me. Thank you
