| I like Janet's fertilizer advice better than the advice given on the tag. One important thing to remember about fertilizers is that in spring/summer you can use one wiht a high first number (like Jack's 30-10-10) but in autumn and winter, if you fertilize at all then, use one with as small a first number as possible. That first number represents nitrogen. High nitrogen is good in spring/summer when the plant is actively growing. In the autumn/winter the plant is blooming or resting and doesn't need nitrogen.
