Do I Have To Water My Plants Before I Use This Solution Or Will This Water My Plant As Well Without Harming My Young Plants?

Since the Safer solution is sprayed on, you wouldn't want to wash it off. If you water your plants before spraying on the solution, I would wait for the plants to dry completely before spraying. After the solution is applied, I would water my plants just around the root base and avoid the plant leaves.

This product is intended to be sprayed directly on the leaves of the plant. The plant should be watered as needed.

Yes you need to water to release the active ingredients in the granules. In nature this would be supplied by rain, but indoors you must water, as you should water your plants anyway. It will take several applications of water spread several days apart to work best. You should begin to notice a difference, as more leaf development within a couple days depending on the plant species. I added some to a Christmas cactus that I thought was at goner, and it was miraculously resurrected. I like the product and it is much cheaper than plant spikes/sticks. Good luck with all your plants both indoors and out. Yes you need to water to release the active ingredients in the granules.

you need to keep jugs of water near the plants. It's a fairly straight forward physics principle to draw the water from the jug to the plant. That said, you have to make sure there are NO kinks ANYWHERE along the hose line...any kink means it doesn't work (and if you read my review, you'll see that this is difficult to prevent, based on the manufacturing process).

Depends on what you are watering. I put an emitter at each plant and control the amt of water at each with a different sized (color) emitter.

You mix with the water you use to water your plants. The exact measurements are on the jar. This product works well!

Yes, it works just as well and is easier. It starts working as soon as it is watered in.

It does. In fact, I have some houseplants in smaller pots so I unscrew it to water them. It's easy.

Paul, I bought this for my husband, so I asked him. This is what he said, "You can. But I just water mine enough to water the plants. I'm not trying to water it enough to get anything to run through and make fertilizer."Hope that helps. BTW...he loves his!

Hello Richard, I used the product straight from the container on the roots of English Ivy. It killed some of the roots but not all of them. The area I used it on had not other vegetation so it could not cause harm to other plants. I didn't need to add any water to it. AE

you mix it with water according to the instructions, then spray it onto your plants using a spray bottle

Yes, I put a scoop in my watering can and water my tomato plants with it. Works great!

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

I don't believe lastiseal will harm your plants in any way. I would use it.

Yes, it is safe for plants. the rain barrel is great except that water does notflow out when it is 2/3 empty. I guess it needs to be pumped out. Not sure if all rain barrels have the same problem as this is my first one. I hope this helps.

No I don't recommend ever misting the air plants. If you want the best results you should soak them once per week for 1 hour and then make sure they are dry before night time. Also do not keep them in the direct sunlight. If you follow these instructions your plants will do very well. You can also feel the plants leaves to determine how well hydrated the plant is which will depend on how humid your climate is. If the leaves do not feel firm or succulent then the plant needs water and should be soaked for 1 hour. if the air is dry where you live you may need to soak them more than once per week. Letting the plants dry completely before night time is very important for the respiration of the plant which is when it grows. I hope this helps answer your questions.

Hi Patrick, I put a pump and return lines on my 4 bucket system. This way the water gets flushed back into the main bucket and keeps plants very happy. I used the system without the pump and had good results as long as you changed the solution every week. Now with the pump I can go 10-12 days before changing it. THe plants grow really good either way.MUDFLAT
