Description
For containers outdoors, where the compost runs out fastest
Hesi Balcony Bloom Elixir is a flowering feed for patio containers, window boxes and hanging baskets. An outdoor container is the harshest place a plant can live - a small volume of compost, heavy watering and full sun leach nutrition out within weeks.
Key Benefits
- Weighted for flowering - phosphorus and potassium for continuous bloom
- Built for containers - matched to a medium that leaches every time it rains
- Keeps baskets going all summer - the usual failure is a basket that peaks in June
- Includes trace elements - leached compost holds almost nothing
- Simple weekly routine - one rate, once a week
Hanging baskets that give up by midsummer
A basket in full sun is watered daily, and every watering carries nutrition out of the bottom. By July the compost is exhausted, flowering stops and the plant goes leggy. Weekly feeding through the season is the whole answer.
How to Use
- Through the season: 2 ml per litre once a week from late spring
- Hanging baskets: feed weekly without fail - they leach fastest of all
- Heat waves: water plain in the morning and feed in the evening
- Deadheading: feeding works far better alongside regular deadheading
- Autumn: stop as growth slows
