To fertilize marginal plants effectively:
Choose the Right Fertilizer:

When to Fertilize:
- Apply fertilizer in the spring as plants begin their active growing season.
How to Apply:
- Follow the application instructions on the fertilizer packaging to ensure proper dosage.
- Place the fertilizer in the plant’s soil or aquatic planter where the roots can access it.
Duration:
- This type of fertilizer typically lasts for about 180 days, providing consistent nutrients throughout the growing season.
By fertilizing marginal plants in this manner, you ensure they receive the nutrients they need for healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
