As spring breathes new life into our gardens, it's time to explore a gardening secret that can transform your plants into vibrant, healthy wonders: foliar fertilisers. These magical elixirs work wonders on lawns, Dahlias, Peonies, and all your garden treasures. In this guide, we'll delve into what foliar fertilisers are, how they work, and the best way to use Green Fingers foliar fertilisers to make your garden thrive this spring and throughout the summer.

What Are Foliar Fertilisers?
Foliar fertilisers are liquid or soluble nutrient solutions applied directly to a plant's leaves. Unlike traditional soil fertilisers, which are absorbed through the roots, foliar fertilisers offer a more direct route to nourish your plants. They are a blend of essential nutrients, micronutrients, and trace elements that can work wonders for your garden.
How Do Foliar Fertilisers Work?
When you spray foliar fertilisers onto the leaves of your plants, they are absorbed through tiny pores called stomata. This direct delivery system allows your plants to quickly access the nutrients they need for growth, photosynthesis, and overall health. Foliar feeding is particularly effective when plants have nutrient deficiencies or during periods of rapid growth, like spring.
Using Green Fingers Foliar Fertilisers for a Spring Boost
Green Fingers Foliar Fertilisers are easy to use. Simply fill your sprayer up half way with water, add the recommended amount of foliar fertiliser to your sprayer (15ml-30ml per litre depending on the season) and then continue to fill your sprayer with water. This ensures the foliar fertiliser is mixed well with the water. Your foliar fertiliser is now ready to use. Spray it onto the leaves and foliage of your plants and your plants will quickly begin to absorb the fertiliser. Foliar fertilisers are best applied during overcast days.
Lawns: To achieve a lush, green, pristine lawn, dilute Green Fingers Lawn Foliar Fertiliser according to the instructions and spray evenly over your lawn. Make sure to do this on a cool, cloudy day to prevent the liquid from evaporating too quickly. Your lawn will thank you with vibrant growth, improved colour and improved resistance to stress. Show all your neighbours you have Green Fingers!

Dahlias and Peonies: These beloved flowers adore foliar fertilisers. Mix the Green Fingers Dahlia or Peony Foliar Fertiliser as directed and lightly spray the solution over the leaves of your Dahlias and Peonies. Do this early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid scorching the leaves in the hot sun. Watch as your Dahlias burst into a riot of colorful blooms, and your Peonies showcase their elegant beauty.

Garden Treasures: For your other garden plants, including vegetables, annuals, and perennials, follow the same approach as with Dahlias and Peonies. Regular foliar feeding with Green Fingers General Garden Foliar Fertiliser will ensure a garden brimming with vitality and blooms.
