Short answer is no. Long answer: If your diagnosis of sadness is correct disregard rest of this. I am not qualified or experienced in plant psychiatry. Your question suggests you are a novice gardner. We all began there. Get a book. I like the Southern Living Garden Book. If you live up North, I am sure Yankees have something like it. It is a little late to fertilize with a long acting agent. I would suggest a liquid or granular feeding. Make sure your soil is light with much humus. pH above 7.0 to get blue blooms and below for red. Or is it the other way around. Good luck. b

I used the ladybugs on my flower garden. It's been a few year since I tried it (I just did the review recently, but I track my plants and documented the effort) I do remember a few showing up after the initial group left. They didn't stay either!

Hi, Donald. Most dogwoods are deciduous, which means this product is perfect. There is an evergreen variety (called capitata or just evergreen...creative name, I know), and for that you would what to use the Jobe's spikes for evergreen trees.

Hey Mike - I don't know, no experience with Rose of Sharon ...... and I haven't experienced that the rose spikes adversely affected nearby plantings like rhodie, smoke bush, maple, geranium, gouds, cottonwood, etc. .... - I'm thinking you might google what the soil might need for Rose of Sharon then look at what Job's Rose Spikes nutrients - there are great sites, just plug in Jobe's Rose Spikes and see what you find.

I put the 2 plants I ordered in the ground after I got them around Father's Day, but they didn't do very well. Disappointingly, they both died. It's a shame; my husband fondly remembered Wintergreen from his youth, and he would have enjoyed seeing it spread.

I don't have any ivy plant; however, I have a variety house plants and I use these spikes in all of them. So much easier than the powder, there is no guess work. According to the Jobe's instructions, it good for all house plants. I haven't had a problem with it and would recommend it for use.

Sorry, I don't know if the spikes can be used with American Holly's, Japanese Maples, Myrtle Crapes, Witch Hazels. I read the direction, put a spike next to one of three shrubs. The shrub where I used the spike is dead. On the other two shrubs I used triple 10 fertilizer and they are thriving. Before using this product, I recommend testing it.

I do not know for certain as we are using them over wrestling shoes. However, my thoughts would be a)contact the vendor or b)if they are NOT metal spikes I would give it a try...if they are metal spikes I wouldn't think so. Just my thoughts though.

I have never used it Hydrangea cuttings. I have used it for various outdoor as well as inside plants and it works great for those plants. I believe it would work for Hydrangea cuttings.

Yes it will..I did that to start and put 1 in the pot and then later had to put them in the ground and used 2 for both of those plants. My plants are doing well with these spikes. Good luck. :)

I honestly didn't pay that close attention to the backs of the leaves. But, hydrangea leaves are quite large so I probably inadvertently got some on the backs of them. Also, I removed the worste of the infected leaves. One of my plants I trimmed down to the stalk and used the spray on new growth - which worked perfectly.

Yes. However, I would set it up a week before you leave and make sure the water is getting to the plants. I live in the desert southwest and the spikes have worked for me for over a month at a time.

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

Apparently so. I'm told you need 1or 2 spikes for the Spring/Summer season, as they hate soil with low nutrients

I do not know the answer to this, but I Googled the following and I saw several articles come up which should provide you with an answer. Here is what I asked: can you use a tree spike on a potted 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.
