Garden Tip: For best results, feed your plants with FoxFarm fertilizer products during growth and bloom seasons. There's no need for nitrogen fertilizers at first; instead, try FoxFarm Big Bloom Liquid Plant Food to get things started.

How to Use:

Container Gardens: - Fill container with soil 1 inch (2.5 cm) below top edge of the pot. - Water thoroughly after planting. - For best results, feed with FoxFarm fertilizer during growth and bloom.

Houseplants: - Water thoroughly after planting. - For best results, feed with FoxFarm Grow Big Liquid Plant Food.

Established Container Gardens: - Top dress a 3-inch (7.5 cm) layer of potting soil around existing plants and carefully work into the soil. - Water thoroughly.

Trees, Shrubs, and Roses: - Select a container 2-3 times the diameter of the plant's root mass and 3-6 inches (7.5-15 cm) deeper. - Place enough potting soil into the container so that the root mass is positioned at the correct height. - Secure plant in place while adding more potting soil around the root mass until the container is almost full. - Press firmly around the perimeter of the plant and water thoroughly. Do not pack tightly. - Fill container to the top and water again.

FoxFarm Soil Feeding Schedule: - Use your preferred FoxFarm potting soil when transplanting seedlings into larger containers. - For best results, feed up to two times per week and maintain a pH of 5.6 to 6.8 to prevent nutrient lockout and reduce stress on plants. - Never mix pure concentrates together; always add water first. - If plants show signs of stress or color irregularities, flush your soil. - When using coco-based media, flush every two weeks during the flowering cycles as coco has a tendency to retain unwanted salt residue more than peat-based soils.

FAQ: Can I use Ocean Forest for my in-ground plantings? Potting soil is designed to be used exclusively in containers. It would be best to use a planting mix or soil conditioner for in-ground planting.

When do I feed my plants after planting in Ocean Forest? Ocean Forest combines the goodness of land and sea to create a blend that feeds for about 3-4 weeks. After that, we recommend you begin feeding with a FoxFarm fertilizer appropriate for your plants' stage of growth.
