Feeding with Balanced Fertilizer 

  • During early spring or late summers, take only half quantity or dose of balanced fertilizer as recommended on the package.
  • Prepare a solution by mixing the above fertilizer with liters of water.
  • Mist the potted plant first, then pour the fertilizer solution until it starts coming out of the drainage hole.
  • If your succulents in the garden are looking droopy and seem to lack proper nutrients, you can apply just half-dose of slow-release fertilizer the same way during spring.
