U can use it both as foliar and broadcasting fertilizer. It depend on the requirement of a plant. If plant is in dire need of nutrients and not in a position to make its food own then u can use Gromore as foliar fertilizer otherwise just broad cast a half teaspoon to a plant. Tilth (godi) the soil before applying fertilizer by boradcast (sprinkle) method. just after broadcasting the fertilizer water the plant. Better to apply fertilizers to the soil at early in the morning so that nutrients can be available for a plant to make its food.

Always remember dont fertilize (chemical, organic fertilizers)the plant unless plant need it. Half teaspoon in a month is enough for a container plant. U can apply fertilizer till the May month for summer plants.

The requirement of different plants, in different stages of growth are different.

Fertilizers are applied in growing season of plants, like now. Water soluble fertilizers are better than granular. apply in each month of growing season.
