A note about spraying:
Many people that garden have not been trained in best practices of spraying. Depending on the product to be sprayed strict adherence to method is important for optimum results and the preventing of wasting expensive spray materials. Always hydrate/water your plants prior to spraying these materials as serious foliage burn may occur if your plants are dry. Plan to be finished spraying prior to 9:00 AM. in the morning. However, you can spray in the evening but it is not advised.
It is important to note “Messenger”, Seaweed Extract, SNG and Liquinox can be aerial sprayed or boom sprayed effectively. These methods however are not optimum or the most effective spray regimen for plumeria. When combining these three products the finest mist possible is used. In addition, you are loosing effectiveness if you have not combined the materials with a sticking agent or surfactant. We suggest using a QUALITY sprayer that will produce a fine mist. You will want to cover the entire tree i.e. all leaves top and bottom and branch tips with this fine mist WITHOUT RUNOFF. This “Foliage Feeding Program” is not to replace your normal feeding routine. This additional routine will enhance your plumeria trees ability to build its immune system, optimize growth and branching, produce luxurious foliage and produce copious amounts of flowers.
Follow label directions for routine watering with Liquinox fertilization program.
