Feeding your plants should be a priority, especially if they’re in pots or containers. Some experts recommend feeding your plants every 4-5 days, regardless of what the directions on your food’s container says. Others say a good feeding 1-2 times a month is sufficient. Although, one thing is certain, you should NEVER feed your plants when they’re dry! Doing so can cause damage to your plants. Feeding when soil is thoroughly moist is the best time to do so.
