I went out tonight to purchase some fertilizer for my Plumeria and I wanted to make absolutely sure I was fertilizing them at the right time and with the right strength. At first the fertilizer seemed obscenely strong, 12-55-6, but according to the FAQ here, that very brand is noted as a good brand to use. GreenLight "Super Bloom" 12-55-6.
So now my question is, when exactly do I start feeding them? I had been under the impression I need to winter them (until you guys set me straight), so now that I'm waking them back up "early" (compared to before), I am not sure when to fertilize them. I've got them under a heat lamp in the evening and in moderate (winter time) sun indoors (with decent watering) and they are already coming back to life. Do I need to wait for the leaves before feeding them, or can I start now?
Thanks again for all the tips. I would love to finally get some blooms out of my plants.
