Jobes Houseplant Spikes

Jobes Houseplant Spikes are designed to take the fuss out of feeding houseplants, fertilizer spikes dissolve slowly into potting soil, supplying nutrients over extended periods.

Under-fertilized houseplants grow slowly, have weak stems and pale leaves, and flower poorly. However, Jobe’s fertilizer spikes contain 13 percent nitrogen, 4 percent phosphorous and 5 percent potassium. Specfically, nitrogen feeds foliage, phosphorous promotes flowering and root growth, and potassium enhances stress resistance and stem strength. In addition, the high proportion of nitrogen in Jobe’s spikes makes them suitable for foliage plants. Houseplants also need micro-nutrients, such as iron, calcium and copper. Therefore, alternating spikes with organic houseplant fertilizer, or chemical fertilizer containing micro-nutrients, fully supplies houseplants’ nutrient needs.

Houseplants and other vibrant blooms can go a long way toward brightening your home or landscape, which is why Jobe’s Houseplant Food Spikes supply important nutrients at the roots where your plants need it most. Unlike typical fertilizers, Jobe’s specially formulated spikes don’t wash away when you water, making them hazard- and mess-free. Jobes Plant spikes don’t require mixing or measuring – just insert into the soil around the plant, then apply every two months.

Instructions:

1. Push Jobe’s fertilizer spikes gently into houseplant potting soil, halfway between pot edges and plant stems, until the spikes are just below the soil surface. To calculate how many spikes to use per container, divide the width of the pot by 2. For example, a 4-inch pot requires two spikes and a 6-inch pot requires three spikes.
2. Water houseplants thoroughly and allow them to drain. Water plants according to their normal requirements for two months.
3. Dilute an organic houseplant fertilizer at a rate of 1/2 teaspoon per 6 cups of water, and apply every 14 days, or according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Insert Jobe’s fertilizer spikes again after two months.
