How many spikes per plant do you use? Is it dependent on the diameter of the plant?

Yes, it depends on the size of your plant. If you just planted one then one is enough for 6 mos, depending on your climate (some places it vegetates 9-12 mos). 2 spikes for a plant more than 3 feet in diameter.

Exactly! The packaging recommends 1 spike per foot of diameter, inserted along the dripline.

i have several plants with pots between 6 to 15 inches. In smaller ones, I put one in small pots, and two stakes in larger pots. I had bought it very early before the vacation, so i can test how it will work - i have over 15 large plants, some of them 25 yrs old.. (inheritance from a friend) wanted to make sure they are not taken care while i was away.... I grouped the plants, used a water container shared by 3 or 4 pots. The water container needs to positioned correctly, otherwise they just pull too much water too fast. read the instructions come with, keep experimenting.. happy flowering..

It truly depends on how much you expect to plant... I have one tall pot about the size of a bathroom trashcan that has two types of basil,chives, oregano, and single leaf parsley. All three of the plants you wish to plant are small and enjoy hanging over the side of a pot so you could split it into 3 sections and still have space to plant more in the center. They take up about a fists worth of space if you need that as a true judge.

The number of spikes used is based on the size of the tree. Take a look at the product label for the coverage recommendations.

The instructions are based on the diameter of your plant- 2 spikes for 2ft and 10 inch from the main stem. For 3-4 feet in diameter, it's 3 spikes and 5-6 ft in diameter its 4 spikes. I have only used them on knock out roses and tea roses.

I believe instructions are to use one spike per inch diameter, not circumference. Check the instructions again to confirm. I am certain that you do not need 18 spikes for your tree.

50 little spikes.......and they seem to work well even though you need more than one spike per plant.

I think you might be talking about the larger spikes, which are designed for outdoor plants and can be difficult. These are small and are made for houseplants and come with an applicator, which makes them much easier, I use these frequently. It also helps, if you are having trouble, to water the ground/soil first, so that it is softer. PS, the larger spikes: I have used a drill with a large bit on it, to make a hole first because they can be so hard to get in the ground.

I would break off a small piece and not use the whole spike. It would be to strong. It would either kill them or they would grow 10' over night.

If your pot is bigger than the spread of the leaves, I would say yes. The spikes are supposed to be inserted into the ground/dirt at the drip line (edge) of the tree.

The connections worked well but I used larger kits on 70' down slopping oval . I bought 4 packs 8" spikes and 1 pack 25- 6" spikes extra. I read and feel you need more spikes than is in a kit. your using more spikes on the connections. I'm happy with product and spikes.

It comes with 2 spikes... you can buy 2 more from them by going on their website or calling them OR you can take 1 of the spikes and go to Lowe's or Home Depot and they have a close match

Spikes would be ideal if you have very bouncy kids because the whole tent has a tendency to move a little. If you are planning to use with one little kid than you may be ok but a few kids can and do move the tent. Maybe use bungi cohorts with the spikes.

These spikes are designed for use with plants that are in the ground. Container pots(5 gallon measures 16 - 20 inches across) use different spikes or time release pellets. Amazon (also) sells Jobe's 5001T Indoor fertilizer Food Spikes. (Mini spikes.)

I am on vacation right now. I don't remember any spikes for orange pieces on this feeder. I use this one for different jellies and fruit spreads.
