The
Jurassic Garden’s Special Cycad Fertilizer
Application
Rates and Instructions
1. Ideal
application time of day is when temperatures are coolest and sun is less
direct, either in the morning or the early evening.
2. We
suggest you fertilize 3 times per year, applying fertilizer during March/April,
late June, and early September.
3. Remove
any weeds or other materials that will need removal prior to fertilizing.
4. Spread
fertilizer around base of plant, starting 1” from the edge of the caudex
(trunk), and extending outward by a margin roughly equivalent to the diameter
of the caudex itself. So, for a 5”
caudex plant, spread the fertilizer in a 5” wide ring around the caudex,
starting about 1” away from the caudex.
Do not apply fertilizer on, or in the caudex itself.
5. Water
fertilizer in thoroughly and promptly, using a fine shower-type hose nozzle. Do not spade or rake the fertilizer into the
soil.
6. Sit
back and watch your plants grow!
