FoxFarm soil feeding schedule

FoxFarm Soil Feeding Schedule

Use your preferred FoxFarm potting soil when transplanting seedlings into larger containers. We recommend a two gallon size or larger.

For best results: Feed up to two times per week. Maintain a pH of 5.6 to 6.8 to prevent nutrient lockout and reduce stress on plants. Never mix pure concentrates together; always add water first. Should plants show signs of stress or color irregularities, flush your soil. When using coco-based media, flush every two weeks during the flowering cycles as coco has a tendency to retain unwanted salt residue more than peat-based soils.

FAQ

Can I use Ocean Forest for my in-ground plantings?

  • Potting soil is designed to be used exclusively in containers. The perlite in FoxFarm potting soils creates air spaces in the soil that facilitate drainage, while peat moss retains moisture in a container environment, enabling you to water less often. It would be best to use a planting mix or soil conditioner for in-ground planting. While potting soils will not harm your in-ground planting environment, most people tend to prefer the look and benefits of a soil conditioner. Soil conditioners break up compacted soils and work well as a mulch top-dressing.

When do I feed my plants after planting in Ocean Forest?

  • Ocean Forest combines the goodness of land and sea to create a blend that feeds for about 3-4 weeks. During that time, you can use plain water, or for extra nutrition you can feed with Big Bloom, which is the OMRI listed base of our liquid line.
  • After 3-4 weeks, we recommend that you begin feeding with a FoxFarm fertilizer appropriate for your plants’ stage of growth. When mixing multiple nutrients, please be sure to follow the directions on our Soil Feeding Schedule, found below.

Great soil for growing a variety of different plants. I’m currently growing Stargazers, Anastasia Orienpet Lilies, Dahlias, Red Bee Balm ( Bergamot), and this year I planted a variety of different types of Tulips. Some are called Parrot Tulips. Well draining soil. My plants doubled in size the second season that I grew them. My stargazers got to be over 6 feet tall last summer.

Drains well and serves as a solid root anchor without binding. Better that bigger name brand products. Almost like fine mushroom soil enhancement products or real worm dirt. Indoor air cleansing plants and herbs are thriving in this, based on past use and present purchase.
