Fertilizer Burn: Plant Doctor Help!
I bought a 4-pack of Miracle Grow bottles without reading the directions in the store. When I got home, I realized the bottle was supposed to attach to a water hose. The bottle was supposed to feed 900 square feet in 15 minutes. There were no alternate recipes for mixing. Of course I do not have a lawn or flower bed. I have 2 balconies located on the 3rd floor with several containers with perennials that were starting to look really beautiful. I added 2 ounces of the liquid Miracle Grow into a squirt bottle and filled the rest of the 8 ounce bottle with water. Then I misted all my plants: the leaves, blooms, and soil. It was too concentrated and now my plants look terrible with brown edged leaves. I read on the internet that you should mix 1 tablespoon with a gallon of water. I wish I had read this first! Well now it's too late the damage is done. Is there anything I can do to help these plants recover? Also we had a really hot day around 98 degrees. Today I overwatered hoping to flush some of the chemicals away or dilute. I will appreciate any tips you can give me! Thanks!
