According to the instructions on the bottles Product Label, it states for containerized plants this product should be incorporated into the top 1-2 inches of soil before being watered in, and for flower beds or shrub it can be sprinkled on just the surface. Try drying your soil/plants out a little as the label does state to not have the soil too wet over the first 10 days to ensure proper absorption of the chemical.
