I started bottom watering my plants after dealing with plants and have been struggling to figure out how to fertilize them. If anyone has anything to share, please let me know! I use PuriVed fertilizer for reference.

To use Purived plant food with bottom watering, just mix 1 capful of per gallon of room-temperature water. I like to put my plants in the tub, make my water in a 1 gallon pitcher then pour the water in the tub... keep your potted plants in the fertilized water for 10–30 minutes; just until the topsoil is moist, then allow them to drain thoroughly. I like to set them on a towel to help wick away the extra water 😁
