HibisGain is the perfect mix for more than just your Hibiscus; our 12-6-8 formula is a great contender as an all-purpose dry fertilizer. High Nitrogen and plenty of minor nutrients makes this blend perfect for every day gardening, and the extra boost your Hibiscus needs.
HibisGain can be applied directly on top of the soil or mulch. It should be sprinkled evenly under and slightly beyond the spread of the branches. It should be kept off the foliage and well away from the trunk. Do not apply HibisGain to dry soil. Be sure to water the area well before and after fertilizing. Take care to brush or wash fertilizer granules off leaves to prevent leaf injury. For plant beds, apply one full 10lb. bag per 500 square feet

Hibisgain
By Tom on 10/12/2018
Well, the instruction for applying the fertilizer was straight forward, a monthly application varying by the size of the hibiscus. The hibiscus really liked it. Within a couple of days, I had several blooms. With a frost expected, I moved it indoors with a grow light to help it and it continues to bloom.

Can wasp killer spray kill palms?
HibisGain 12-6-8 is designed for hibiscus and other flowering plants. BGI makes a product called PalmGain that is more appropriate for palms and similar tropical greenery. Many wasp killer sprays are quite oily, so spraying an oily product on plants on a hot, sunny day could potentially cause burn on the plants. Be sure to follow the directions on any products you are using near desirable plants.
