I’ve gone down to half strength the past month. By the end of the month, I’m going down to 1/4 strength. I assume I’ll be at that level until spring, but that’s just a guess.  
Maybe someone could clarify that. Planta should probably include an automatic mixing schedule for the seasons.

That’s a great idea. I’ll do that with the plants then. This is my first year with outdoor plants that need to be winterized. Thank you!

Agreed!

I’m with Jen! I fertilize all year I just switch from weekly to about monthly! I use the ~1/3 strength year round

I read recently to switch to a fertilizer with lower nitrogen content for the winter. Apparently it’s less likely to stimulate new growth if the nitrogen is lower.

#### LiRo antwoordde op 2024-10-16

Oh interesting. I’ll look into one with low nitrogen. Thanks!

I don’t fertilize my dormant plants in winter so I change the settings to custom and never for the cold period.

I didn’t realize I could do that, thanks!
