How much banana fuel for fruiting plant?
I have a few Icecreams (or Namwahs) and a Dwarf Orinoco that are having fruit since 1-2 months back now and I have so far been giving them roughly 75% of cup in 2 gallons of water of banana fuel (Richards) every two weeks.
Is that too much or too little? Advice is highly welcome! |

Re: How much banana fuel for fruiting plant?
What do the instructions on the banana fuel package say?
In general, I use synthetic fertilizer at half the rate specified on the package. I use organic fertilizers according to package directions. |

The most important question is how are your plants doing with that fertilizer regime? If they look good and are growing well, keep doing it. |

Re: How much banana fuel for fruiting plant?
I use 15-15-15, and during the summer, find that for most varieties, when they are actively growing, you can't really over-fertilize them (be reasonable).
