Feeding Established Hibiscus
Follow rates below and sprinkle the plant food under the outer edges of the branches. Mix into the soil and keep the plant food at least 6″ from the trunk. Water thoroughly after each application.
Application Rate By Tree Height:
Very Small: 1/4 lb. or 3/4 cup
Small: 1/2 lb. or 1 1/2 cups
Medium: 1 lb. or 3 cups
Large: 1 1/2lb. or 4 1/2 cups
How To Apply:
New Plantings
Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Remove 1/3 of the soil and replace it with compost, peat moss or a good planting mix.
Mix 1 cup of Espoma Palm-tone into the amended soil.
Set the root ball in the hole and back-fill with the amended soil. After settling, the soil level next to the trunk should be at the same level at which the tree grew in the nursery field or container.
Water thoroughly after planting. Check soil moisture regularly and water as needed.
Feeding Established Palm & Hibiscus
Fertilize around the drip line of the tree.
Water thoroughly. Check soil moisture regularly and water as needed.
