Directions for Fertilizer Spike:
- Push the spike in the soil until cap is just above the soil surface.
- After one year, discard the spike, as the fertilizer inside the spike no longer contain nutrients.
- Use one spike for 1 or 2 gallon planting baskets.
- Use two spikes for 3 gallon planting baskets.
- Use three spikes for 4.5 and 5 gallon planting baskets.
- Use four or more spikes for >5 gallon planting baskets.
Directions for Mini Fertilizer Spike:
- Push the spike in the soil until cap is just above the soil surface.
- After one year, discard the spike as the fertilizer inside the spike no longer contains nutrients.
- Use one or two Mini Spikes for small plants or 1/4 to 1 gallon planting baskets.

General Information
Plant Grow Fertilizer provides important nutrition to aquatic plants and flowers for a period of one year. Supplied in temperature-activated spikes, they release nutrients only when plants and flowers need them most: At or above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Once activated, they slowly release a well-balanced feeding formula that maximizes the size and color of all aquatic plants and flowers. With low amounts of phosphorous and no copper, the fertilizer has no adverse impact on water quality and is nontoxic to fish and plant life. Compatible with all planting baskets. |
