My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How much fertilizer?

8 years ago

Hi! I have been reading and learning so much in this forum. Lately I have been reading about feeding. I was doing mostly wrong.


I know now that I'm better using a 3:1:2 ratio fertilizer weekly.


So my question is: how much fertilizer I should use in my potted succulents? Should I follow the box instructions and divide the monthly dosage per week or there is a better rule to dose the fertilizer?

The fertilizer I'm using has the following numbers:

N: 1,350g/L

P: 450g/L

K: 900g/L


Thanks!
