You can apply any time.
Someone with Fertisan should be able to give the correct dilution for

plants
(its years since I used it) I will look for you if I see some this week.
It works very well out doors when snails and slugs are active but it has
never caught on due to the fact rain renders it ineffective.
I have used it to establish Clematis in hard places with lots of snails,

you
can mix it up and use it in a pressure spray to get into all the nooks and
crannies they hide in.

Had a look today and fertisan gives a rate of 25-50grams per square meter
but as sprinkled crystals, they do not give instructions on the packet for a
drench (but I know they use it in low dilution in drinking water to kill
snails!) Hope you can work out something from that.
