Hey everyone. I was looking to give my carnivorous plants a dose of fertilizer but I was wondering what dosage I should use without damaging my plants. I know Fertilizer is a no-no in carnivorous plants, but I feel like I am experienced enough grower to give it an attempt. My plant collection includes many venus flytraps, drosera capensis, pinguiculas and a single sarracenia purpurea venosa. They are under T5 HO lamps and are grown indoors, which is why I am even considering fertilizing, because most of my plants should be dormant right now but I purchased a new better brighter light and the plants now think it is spring time. They are flowering and showing other spring characteristics.
Here are my plants. They are all grown in self watering pots.
Here is my watering tool. It is a 12 ounce spray bottle that I use to water the plants. I usually just take off the nozzle and water my plants through the water holes in my pots. Ocassionally I will spray my plants though.
So my questions are:
1.) What measurement of MaxSea Fertilizer should I put into my 12 ounce spray bottle without burning or harming my plants?
2.) Should I spray mist my plants with the mixture or fill the bottom of the pot?
Thanks in advance. Ask questions if you have any.
