For feeding the substrate of containers for the production of decorative seedlings, the minimum and maximum doses are also indicated, and the information is given in an interval, usually in the measurement unit g/liter of the substrate. The most commonly used dose for normal feeding is the minimum, and feeding conifers in higher doses can be done, for example, with larger conifers such as older firs, spruces, thuja, pines, junipers, etc. coniferous.

It is advisable to apply a lower dose of the selected fertilizer in the initial use and to test it on a few of the conifers. With subsequent use of the product, you will already have a more accurate idea of the necessary dose with which you should fertilize, for example, some larger or smaller plants.
