Good morning! I have two hanging ferns (10 in pots) and it is time to fertilize them. They are outside and I am in southeast Georgia so I don’t want to over do it. What type of fertilizer and ratio of elements is best for ferns? There are so many differing opinions! Also, do I use Epsom Salt water instead of fertilizer or use both? HELP!!!!

I recommend that you use a very diluted balanced 10-10-10 liquid fertilizer and skip the salt for now. They burn super easy so diluting it will help avoid that
