How to Use
Indoor Plants
Use a diluted solution of 1 teaspoon of Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 per quart (4-5ml per/1L) of water for flowering plants and small indoor plants, increasing to 2 teaspoons per quart for large indoor plants. Feed indoor plants every 10 to 14 days while plants are actively growing in spring and summer, withholding fertilizer during fall and winter. Always water plants immediately after feeding. Although fish emulsion is relatively mild, it can still scorch sensitive plants.
Outdoor Plants
Rates of application for Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 vary, depending on the type of plant. The manufacturer recommends a mixture of 4 tablespoons in 1 gallon of water. A slightly more dilute solution — 3 tablespoons per gallon of water — is recommended for shrubs, berries and perennials. Annuals, bulbs and most vegetables benefit from a solution of 2 tablespoons of fish emulsion per gallon of water; however, root vegetables do best with a more diluted mix of 1 tablespoon in 1 gallon of water, which is the same solution used for herbs and outdoor container plants. Use a weak solution of 1 teaspoon per gallon when transplanting seedlings or bedding plants into the garden. Apply diluted fish emulsion to outdoor plants, including container plants, every three to four weeks throughout the growing season — generally from spring to late summer or early autumn.
