As plant parents we know that plants have three fundamental needs- sunlight, water, and nutrients. Fertilizer is an important way of meeting one of these needs, as it enriches plant soil with nutrients, helping them grow to their fullest potential.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Container gardening<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> has a special relationship with watering.

For example, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">if you have summer flowering annuals, use fertilizer for blooming annual plants.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559684&quot;:-2,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The rule of thumb to follow with fertilizer in container plants: it is always better to under fertilize than over fertilize. When watering plants that are in planters, it is very easy to overfeed the plants with too much fertilizer. Fertilizer can become too concentrated in the smaller amount of soil in a planter leading to leaf burn and even killing the plant. Most fertilizer concentrations are for plants that are in the ground which considers the dispersion that the surrounding soil allows. In this case, you always want to use half the amount suggested per gallon of water. That being said, there may be a fertilizer that says &#8220;for house plants&#8221; or &#8220;containerized plants&#8221; that may have adjusted their ratio to water so it would not be necessary to half the amount.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241338\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241338\" class=\"wp-image-241338 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_2830-scaled-e1654624281858-1024x773.jpg\" alt=\"Container Gardening Fertilizer\" width=\"1024\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_2830-scaled-e1654624281858-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_2830-scaled-e1654624281858-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-241338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Selecting the correct fertilizer for your planter is an essential step in plant care.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-241334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_2830.heic\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-241334\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_2830.heic\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/> Fertilizers for<\/strong> <b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Plants in Traditional Planters<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Plants in traditional pots require you to manually water them, depending on the water needs of your specific plants.

Once your plants get bigger, they will be needing more nutrients especially if they are flowering, and the liquid or water-soluble fertilizer is easier to absorb and can be utilized quickly. This is especially important during the summer when container plants require more water and nutrients are washed out at a higher rate.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241333\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241333\" class=\"wp-image-241333 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/P1110182-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Traditional Planters\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-241333\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional planters have a higher rate of nutrient run-off.<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0How often to fertilize <\/strong><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Plants in TruDrop Containers<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Unlike plants in traditional planters, plants in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/product-category\/trudrop-self-watering\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">TruDrop<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> planters have the benefit of access to a water reservoir that feeds them water as they require it. This means that the level of nutrient runoff is not as high as plants in traditional planters.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Depending on which Trudrop planter you have, your reservoir will hold many gallons of water and can provide a consistent slow feed of fertilizer. A typical fertilizer dilution is 1 Tablespoon fertilizer to 1 gallon of water.\u00a0 We recommend using 1Tablespooon fertilizer to 10 gallons of water ratio to add to your reservoir.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Even though the quantity is greatly diluted, it&#8217;s a little bit like eating a small amount of food all day rather than three full meals. The consistent low-dose feed works well because there is not the typical runoff that is expected when companies are coming up with amounts per gallon for fertilizer. If the fertilizer you are using recommends a higher quantity of fertilizer per gallon, use that quantity per 10 gallons. To determine how many gallons of water your TruDrop planter holds when full, you can check out our website and look at the specs information for your planter.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The important thing to keep in mind with TruDrop planters is that the self-watering component makes it significantly easier to manage plant nutrients and makes your plant less dependent on fertilizer.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"none\">Using less fertilizer is also better for the environment. When fertilizer makes it into bays and other water resources it increases algae growth which ends up killing wildlife. The rule of thumb that it is better to under fertilize than over fertilize is especially important in this case, since the self-watering planter conserves more water than traditional planters, reducing nutrient run-off and minimizing the damaging effects of fertilizer on the environment. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-241336 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Barbara-Adding-Liquid-Fertilizer-to-TruDrop-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"TruDrop Planter Fertilizing Tips\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Barbara-Adding-Liquid-Fertilizer-to-TruDrop-1-980x735.jpeg 980w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Barbara-Adding-Liquid-Fertilizer-to-TruDrop-1-480x360.jpeg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241339\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241339\" class=\"wp-image-241339 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Barbara-Adding-Liquid-Fertilizer-to-TruDrop-5-1-1024x683.png\" alt=\"TruDrop Fertilizer Tips\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-241339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A TruDrop One self-watering planter will conserve water and reduce nutrient run-off.
