The amount of fertilizer required will depend on the size of the container in which the plant is growing. Proper fertilization ensures healthy plant growth without the risk of over-fertilizing. Refer to the chart below to determine the recommended amount of fertilizer based on the container size.
- The larger the container, the more nutrients the plant will require.
- Avoid exceeding the recommended amount to prevent nutrient burn or damage to the plant.
