How to Use Monty's Liquid Fertilizer

Monty's Plant Food Company manufactures a few different types of liquid fertilizers under the brand name Monty’s Root & Bloom. The Root & Bloom products can be applied at the soil/root level to encourage growth, or sprayed onto leaves and foliage to encourage blossoming and fruiting. Root & Bloom must be diluted with water, as with all types of liquid fertilizer; if applied full strength, liquid fertilizer can burn delicate roots and leaves.
