Follow the directions on the back for ratios. Then water the powder in like normal. Again it’s a pesticide so only use a measuring tool you’re ok with only using for that (don’t grab the kitchen teaspoon)

The directions state work into soil and then the directions adding water like you would spray it on so I’m confused 🤔 lol

You mix the powder into the top soil and just water your plant like normal and the plant absorbs the pesticide.

There should be ratios for pot size by inches.
