Fertilize after repot

[Kandoloh]

How long? No root work cutting, just straight from a pot, cleaned out, repotted. It's a Fukien tea, been about a week, some yellowing/ leaf drop but not concerning (maybe lost 4 or 5 leaves). Should I wait another week?

I always fertilize when I repot.

Mine get fertilized when all of the others get fed. If it's tomorrow then it gets it then.

Okay cool, I wasn't sure as I hadn't started a schedule yet for it but she looks a little hungry. I will go ahead and feed her today

I thought u should wait at least 1 week (because the small roots get burned?), only superthrive can be used sooner (because it's awesome).

 

[Kandoloh]

I actually just watered yesterday so I will wait until next watering

 

[M. Frary]

What is superthrive? Have heard of it and also heard everything they said about it is a bunch of hooey. If it was the cats ass it would be everywhere.

Not quite sure what's in it but it sold like crazy when I worked at Home Depot garden center

Superthrive is a mix of hormones and "mystery" ingredients that is supposed to boost growth and lessen stress after repotting... The lack of easily available solid info on the ingredients leads to the assumption is is snake oil...

Fertilizing after repotting is fine. Don't go super heavy with liquid/ chemical mixes, but adding a little slow release especially organic is fine.

I have to pick up some slow release all I have is miracle grow liquid

Was wondering. Have never seen it where I go.
Thanks Eric.

If the plant is healthy and gets repotted here it gets watered, treated, and fertilized in that order the same day. Collected and freshly planted/potted just get water and treatment and no fertilizer here. It varies depending on the plant as well.
