It is too high in Nitrogen [the first number on the formula]. Use a fertilizer with a low first number such as 6-10-10, or 5-12-10. If you use a high nitrogen fertilizer on daylilies you will get all green foliage and few bloom. Wil Standard all-purpose Miracle Grow is 15-30-15 plus micronutrients. If you have this formulation you can make it 'low-nitrogen' by using less of the crystals in a given volume of water. The recommended usage rate is 1 tablespoon per gallon of water, but if you simply reduce the amount to 1 teaspoon per gallon of water you will effectively have a 5-10-5 formulation, without having to buy another fertilizer. Miracle Grow is also formulated as a 'bloom booster'. That ratio of macronutrients is 10-52-10, and also includes micronutrients. You can effectively reduce the nitrogen (and other components) by half by using 1 tablespoon in 2 gallons of water, instead of the recommended 1 tablespoon in 1 gallon of water. |
