I just plant my perennials and I bough the miracle grow plant food, should I use the bloom booster?

I want my plants to grow and look beautiful, should I use the miracle grow bloom booster first and then the miracle grow liquafeed after they bloom?


I feed them every week and use the system that you attached to the hose.


Thank youI just plant my perennials and I bough the miracle grow plant food, should I use the bloom booster?
don't overdo it , miracle grow no more than every two weeks.


lets the plants get stronger before you start bloom boosting themI just plant my perennials and I bough the miracle grow plant food, should I use the bloom booster?
Mix the plant food and pour some in the hole as you set them in the ground for a jump start. You are wasting money feeding them every week , they don't need it. Once they start blooming, mix regular Miracle Gro plant food and using a spray bottle , spray the leaves every couple of weeks during peak blooming period. When the blooms start to die off, remove them so the plant can use its energy producing new blooms.
Make sure you don't fertilize them until they are in the ground for at least 2-3 weeks so they can make some roots and get established. bloom booster is fine to use after you have it in the ground for a while since it helps roots get established which makes it a hardier plant.
too much fertilizer will kill your plant do not be so quick to have lots of blooms remember good things come to those who wait alot of unnecessary fertilizer will harm your plant take it easy and add as needed for proper growth and blooms
what you are doing is fine

How much do I need to shorten the light cycle for marigolds in order to get them to bloom early?

I have heard that commercial nurseries alter the light exposure in order to get mums and marigolds to bloom while small.How much do I need to shorten the light cycle for marigolds in order to get them to bloom early?

  • What time of year do Tulips and
    Orchids start to grow/bloom?

    Is it Spring or Summer?What time of year do Tulips and


    Orchids start to grow/bloom?
    Different varieties of tulips bloom from mid spring to early summer depending on your zone. If you live around the level of St. Louis, the tulips may be finished by late May. If you live closer to up state New York, tulips could bloom through June. Various orchid species bloom through out the year. However most orchids are spring /summer flowering.What time of year do Tulips and


    Orchids start to grow/bloom?
    dont know bout tulips,most orchids bloom spring,summer or fall depending on the type,ive had some bloom multipl times thrue out the yr,my best bloomer(yr round)is aoncidium ,called morning glory
    It is best to plant the tulip bulb in October or November. It flowers in March. As for orchid, it depends on the type. The popular ones blooms in winter or spring.
    Tulips bloom in the Spring in the UK, usually April and some as late as May. Depends when you plant them and where you live. The further north you are the later they bloom. Different species of orchids bloom at different times. Phaelanopsis (moth orchid) can be bought at any time from garden centres, on line or in local supermarkets.They bloom for months at a time. If you want Spring orchids you can get Pleone bulbs and for Winter, try cymbiduims. They are all lovely. Enjoy!

    Where you live has it gotten warm enough for the very early spring flowers to pop up and bloom?

    Nope, hardly ever gets over 25 deg here. Our little flowers like it a LOT warmer than that.Where you live has it gotten warm enough for the very early spring flowers to pop up and bloom?
    I live in KY and mother nature here can't seem to make up her mind. Some days it's 65 for 2 to 3 days then 30's for 2 weeks. I lost a very nice Japanese maple last year just like this.Where you live has it gotten warm enough for the very early spring flowers to pop up and bloom?
    Apparently La Nina is back. Trees have not even lost their leaves yet but we've had 3 frosts AND it was 75 degrees today. Jacked up weather we're having! --San Jose, CA
    No way! We have gotten a foot of snow in the last week. Its currently 19F.......I wish I was seeing early spring flowers popping!
    It's 11 degrees here right now. We aren't even close. I live in Michigan.
    Yes, a lot of my bulbs are sticking their little faces up. I live in S.C .
    not even close. old man winter has arrived and is digging in til march 21st. maybe even later.

    When will my snapdragons bloom if i sow the seeds now?

    i have a lot of snapdragon seeds from last year that i got from my snapdragons, they were the dwarf kinds.. and i have some seeds from the tall kind too. if i sow the seeds now, when will they bloom, if at all? advice? i live in zone 4/5/ ish ontario canada.When will my snapdragons bloom if i sow the seeds now?
    If I were you I wouldn't plant those seeds now. I would go buy some sets and plant those for this season and then in the late summer or very early fall I would sow my seeds from last year. All you really need to do is scratch them in a bit. Next year you should have a lovely early patch of snapdragons. If you plant them now they will hardly get a chance to bloom at all before the frost, but if they are in the ground next spring they will sprout as soon as they are able and you should have a nice showing. I always had volunteer seedlings in MN that would turn out beautifully.

    Does anyone know how to get a wisteria vine to bloom?

    This vine has been coming back for about seven years and has not produced one bloom. Someone told me that you need two wisteria plants together to produce blooms. I need some advice - help me please, or I will have to get rid of it and try again. Thanks.Does anyone know how to get a wisteria vine to bloom?
    Wisterias are heavey feeders Mine bloomed the second year and is about to bloom again any day now. I use rabbit poop and Miracle-Gro Shake n feed. And water often. Oh and I only have one.Does anyone know how to get a wisteria vine to bloom?
    Wisterias are notorious for not blooming if they receive too much nitrogen in their fertilizer, even though they grow madly. If your wisteria is near a fertilized lawn, it's probably receiving too much nitrogen.





    Wisterias also need a slightly acidic soil; try using a fertilizer such as Mir-acid (same company that makes Miracle-Gro) on the plant.
    My husband swears by Miracle Gro...puts it on every few weeks with the hose sprayer. My wisteria go very big, but took years to bloom. Don't give up!
