| This is a great reason to have a gardening journal. I'm thrilled with my hibisicus plants, but I've forgotten which fertilzer I use in the spring. D'oh!
Espoma recommends Holly-tone (4-6-4). I thought I was using Plant-tone (5-3-3), and noticed that some recommend Tree-tone for the bigger guys (9-5-4). The bush forms are doing well, so I'm not too concerned. I just want to give them the fertilizer that will make them happy. The tree form could use stronger branches which made me think that tree-tone might not be a bad idea. I give them a few shots of miracle bloom buster during the flowering season (august). Any thoughts? Thank you in advance, ~MH |

| If you are talking tropical hibiscus, you want a fertilizer with a low middle number, NOT a bloom booster. Here is a link that explains why. |
