# Hey you all! Does anyone fertilize at every watering? I am thinking…

_Posted by Bri on 2024-09-30_

Hey you all! Does anyone fertilize at every watering? I am thinking about starting to do this but don’t want to hurt my plants. I have seen other people that do it and are seeming to do so successfully but would love any thoughts or feedback

No I don’t. I feel it would be way too much for the plant but haven’t researched deeply.

I feel like I’ve seen once a month, not once a watering

### Sunny commented on 2024-09-30

I fertilize twice a month after diluting the fertilizer to 1/2 the recommended monthly hamount. In other words I fertilize every two weeks with the weaker fertilizer solution.

### Erica commented on 2024-09-30

I think it depends on if my plants are actively growing I might fertilize more- but not at every watering.

I do. It’s heavily diluted. My plants love it (except my Chinese money plant)!

#### Bri replied on 2024-09-30

How much do you dilute it approximately

#### iambijoux replied on 2024-10-01

I use a teaspoon of fish emulsion and about a teaspoon each of superthrive and kelp fertilizer. Sometimes I don’t use the fish emulsion…

### eatyacarbs commented on 2024-09-30

if you do make sure it’s 1/4 diluted or you risk over fertilizing

### GreenGirl commented on 2024-09-30

I do once a month. Maybe twice a month during hotter seasons. Once a month for winter seasons
