# When using fertilizer- is it recommended to use the more diluted…

_Posted by Sabine on 2025-04-02_

When using fertilizer- is it recommended to use the more diluted amount and water with it every time? Or to use the stronger dosage and follow when planta says to fertilize the plant?

I’m currently using more dilution and watering with it every time- and I just mark it in the app as used fertilizer- but I’m not sure if that’s the best thing to do.

I appreciate any advice! Thank you!

I prefer to fertilize every watering just because it’s easier for me to remember 🤣 I don’t have premium though so I never get reminders to fertilize

Whether you dilute it or not doesn’t matter as long as your fertilizer is meant for your specific plant.  
I know people who have never used fertilizer (besides what’s in all purpose soil), and they grow big and beautiful plants. It’ll be fine.

Really just depends on you and the plant. There are a few plants that are sensitive to fertilizer, In which case if you use it every water they may burn. I personally fertilize every 2-3 weeks depending on plant. But if also fertilize all year too.
