How do you add liquid fertilizer to your plant? Might sound like a dumb question but is adding liquid fertilizer the same as watering the plant? Because I mix the L.F with water.

Yes :)

yes! if planta gives you fertilizing reminders but it doesn’t need to be watered again you can a) skip it or b) mark that you fertilize when you water!

I’ve gone with adding 1/4 strength Gold Leaf fertiliser to every watering can. So it’s always getting both water \& fertiliser but obviously it’s weaker than if you fertilise the usual 1 in 4.

Idea being it prevents risk of fertiliser burn \& I’m not at risk of getting confused if I need to skip a fertiliser reminder due to that plants substrate not being in need of more water.

Hope that makes sense x

For 6” or under pots I’ll put one pump directly onto the soil and water as normal, for 7” and up I’ll do two pumps!
