Default Angel trumpet and Night blooming jasmine - fertilizer recommendations

All,

Have been unsuccessful in finding suggested specific fertilizer recommendations i.e.,
product name and application regimen for Angel trumpet and Night blooming jasmine.

Typically comments are 'balanced fertilizer', 'regular' or 'heavy' application rates.

Admit to being enough of a novice that these generalist recommendations are not sufficient
for me to select a product and use it with success.

Also understand from other posts in this group that angel trumpets do not like / do well
in full sun.

Am in Houston - my angel trumpet (approx. 4' tall) is in a large pot and gets full sun
from early afternoon to end of the day.

The leaves wilt up in the direct sunlight - and watering does not really seem to alleviate
the condition.

Thinking I need to move it out of the direct afternoon sunlight.

Any and all comments are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Doug
