How do I mix and apply this plant food for houseplants?

For indoor use, measure the small end of the included scoop (about 1/2 teaspoon) and dissolve it in one gallon of water. Use the diluted solution to water at the soil level so nutrients reach the roots without wetting foliage excessively.

• Mix 1/2 tsp per 1 gallon of water for houseplants
• Apply every 2 weeks for routine feeding
• Water the soil base rather than foliage to avoid leaf residue
• Shake or stir until completely dissolved before use

What's the best way to feed outdoor flowers and vegetables?

For outdoor containers and in-ground beds, use the large end of the scoop (approximately 1-1/2 tablespoons) mixed into 1-1/2 gallons of water. Apply the solution to the soil around each plant every 7–14 days depending on growth stage and seasonal needs.

• Mix 1-1/2 tbsp per 1-1/2 gallons of water for outdoor plants
• Apply every 7 to 14 days during the active growing season
• Soak soil at the root zone to nourish roots directly
• Optional: use Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder for larger areas (feeder sold separately)

What nutrients are in this formula and how do they support plants?

The formulation lists 24-8-16 NPK, providing higher nitrogen with balanced phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen supports leaf and shoot growth, phosphorus contributes to root and bloom development, and potassium helps general plant vigor.

• NPK 24-8-16 targeted for vegetative growth and overall health
• Water-soluble powder delivers nutrients immediately when mixed
• Suitable for repeated, routine feedings as directed
• Designed to be used across many plant types, from ornamentals to edibles

How much area does one 10 lb tub cover and how should I store it?
