Can this be used on potted plants?

It could be, but it is designed to control larval bugs like Japanese beetles who lay eggs in soil after mating. The milky spore infects the resulting larvae and breaks the reproductive process. You would have to have potted plants with beetle problems that have deep soil to make it worth while applying.

we have never used it on succulents, however it should work Ok, but make sure it is well diluted and do not overdo it.

I'm sure it will work on the bonsai just use one for the pot. I just came back from a three week trip and the plants actually looked better!! There must be some type of nutrients in the hydration.

After I wrote this I went out in the garden and checked the plastic pots I have. As long as the pot has a 1" "lip" I guess you could try it. Just don't put your most expensive plant in there in case it drops.

If applied at the rate indicated on the back of the package, this product would be safe for ornamental shrubs. However, I would not recommend that you use it for most shrubs. The product is high in nitrogen which will produce increased vegetative growth, to the detriment of flower production. I do use it however on my bamboo. Bamboo is similar to a grass and therefore I want high nitrogen.

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

You could, but I'm not sure there is enough water pressure to make it work. Your potted plants would have to be well below the bottom of the collection vessel.

This is NOT suitable for potted plants AT ALL! Outdoor, in-the-ground plants only! All fertilizers comprise salts, and the best way to flush them from potted plants is a dose of Clearex (or similar salt flush) every six months or so. Consider getting some Botanicare Liquid Karma (should be called Liquid Miracle) to add to your feeding regimen as this improves nute uptake which helps minimize salt build up. Any plant will only take up as much of a nutrient as it needs, no matter the NPK values, and after years of mucking around with different fertilizers, I just use one organic fertilizer suitable for potted plants for everything, tweaking a little as needed.

Yes. However keep plants for a week or so in original container with lightly watered to withstand the shock of shipping. After that it can be planted in bigger pot. Keep plants in warm/sunny areas of the house. Potted plants don't need too much water, in winter watering every 10-12 days can be sufficient.

I used this on container plants and it worked fine on large planters if used sparingly. But it is too strong for smaller plants and actually 'burned' some of them so I discontinued its use. I would suggest a different product, or cut the pieces into very small portions.

I cannot say. I used it on houseplants - small 4" pots to a large potted fichus.

I didn't use it on tomato plants. I used it on large house plants and it worked great. We were on vacation for 3 weeks and all the plants looked great when we got home.

Potentially, yes. Depends on lots of variables. This vessel will take a large bottle. The water from the bottle seeps into the soil and waters the plant that way. Not very sightly,though. One of mine came broken, but I glued it back together. They are made of the orange ceramic like the old pots.

Yes. It is completely safe to use on edible and non-edible plants. It is actually used in organic gardening.

Hello Myrna, I answer all questions with complete honesty based on my experience with a product. I do not believe that this product would work with any plant. We had fungus gnats in and around our houseplants. This product did nothing. Sadly, after trying so many products (at great cost) we had to get rid of all of our plants (many of them were over ten years old).

The bottle does state ornamental plants and I have only used it that way, by the way it does work.I would not use it near plants I was going to eat, I use weed mat/mulch between my veggies. Hope this helps.
