Can this fertilizer be used on potted indoor palms? Thanks!

Yes, and if you go to their website it says you can use it on palms. http://www.miraclegro.com/smg/goprod/miracle-gro-continuous-release-palm-plant-food/prod70324 scroll down to "where to use" and it says outdoor and indoor palms.

Yes. I did mine and they did much better. Just be sure that they get plenty of sunshine where you put them. All palms are tropical and if they don't get the sunshine most of the time no fertilizer will help that much.

While Miracle-Gro Miracle Gro Shake N Feed Palm Food can be used on all types of plants, it is not registered for use on container plants. The nitrogen can release too quickly to be safe for the confined root system of container plants.

It needs to be mixed with it. Along with Epsom salts. Look up MHP gardener on YouTube. He gave me a lot of info on it. He has a video where he discusses the fertilizer in detail. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. I've never tried it on indoor plants, but I imagine it would work if they are attacking your plants.

The chemicals become too concentrated for the small space of a pot, where all the roots are confined. In fact, the chemicals can leach through ceramic or clay pots and collect on the outside of the pot as a white crystalline substance. I found this out the hard way. I talked with Bayer, and the person I talked with had the answer that made sense. Use the Bayer spray product for potted plants. And I see they now have spikes that can be used in pots - but only for insects + fertilizer, not for diseases.

I do not know, use it on just pot plants only. would check with the company on this.

I don't know much about potted palms or it's light needs, but based on the small diameter output by this bulb I would guess not.

I don't think it is a tree fertilizer. It is intended to be a systemic insecticide that's absorbed by the shrub or tree, preferably through the root system, spreads throughout the shrub or tree, and helps in controlling a wide vaiety of insects. Mind you, it has been my experience that it works on some species of plants but somehow not in others. I still use it nonetheless - works much better than other brand name products in my opinion.

Living up north we don't have palm trees, but I have used it both on indoor and outdoor plants with much success. Depending on the type of bugs, you may have to spray several times to get rid of them. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and feel comfortable using this spray indoors.

I don't think it would be necessary but if it is a mild mix, you "can". Myself, I'm not a fan of chemical fertilizers, at ALL... ever.

It should be fine on squash borers. Try and apply DE early in the morning or late at night when bees are not as active. It shouldn't "counteract" the fertilizer since it's an inert dust.

While you can use a general potting mix like this, you may want to consider using a soil formulated for succulents, such as Miracle-Gro Cactus, Palm and Citrus Soil.

Yes it can work.. Palms need alot of water so you might have to add extra water emitters to the drip line. If they are huge palm trees then you will need bubbler for each palm tree you have!

Do I put the potting soil directly into the pot? I am repotting a palm plant.

I use it for every single plant I have. It has worked so well with my orchids that I started using it on everything. My winter blooming orchids are all still blooming and they are still growing flower spikes. This is the only fertilizer I use now. It's very gentle and does not burn anything.

It's not water soluble. It's sort of like the consistency of sand. I use it on my potted palms by spreading the recomended amount around the outer perimeter of the pot - not near the plant - and it works well.

Yes. There will be no problems as long as you follow the application rates. I use this on all of my tropical flowering plants and palms. I even use it on my immature fruit trees.

Indoor plants don't need as much fertilizing as outdoor plants. I would not recommend. A simple occasional (once a month) water soluble fertilizer would be better
