Is it possible to burn plants with FoxFarm fertilizers?
Remember that American Pride® and Marine Cuisine® do include some organic ingredients, but they are not 100% organic fertilizers. Two of our liquid fertilizers, Tiger Bloom® and Grow Big®, are also not 100% organic. Our soluble products, like Open Sesame®, Beastie Bloomz® and Cha Ching®, also contain inorganic ingredients. If you use too much, you can burn your plants. Remember when you use these extra strength, time release fertilizers, less is more. Don’t forget that a powerful plant food needs to be used as directed. Be patient, because a little goes a long way. American Pride® and Marine Cuisine® are meant to be mixed into the soil, so make sure you water thoroughly, pull excess fertilizer away from the base of the plant, and don’t allow fertilizer to sit on any external part of the plant. Also, a helpful hint when feeding: always make sure that you water first, so that the soil is moist, then feed. This will help prevent possible burning with any fertilizer you use.
