How Do You Fertilize Cape Honeysuckle Plant?
Tecomaria capensis, or cape honeysuckle as it is commonly called, is an evergreen shrub that originated in South Africa, appreciated for its long flowering period. It normally grows to be approximately 6 feet tall, but in some climates, and if it is trained as a vine, it can reach heights up to 30 feet. Fertilizing the plant should be accomplished during the growing season. A liquid fertilizer can be used easily to aid the growth of the plant. Pour the water and the liquid fertilizer in the watering can in the ratio advised on the particular brand of fertilizer chosen. Pour on the soil surrounding the cape honeysuckle plant. If your plant is young, look for a fertilizer that has phosphorus, as this aids growth of plants just starting out. Repeat monthly during the summer, or the growing season for the specific climate in which you live and grow your cape honeysuckle. Add fertilizer to the leaves (foliar feeding) with a mist sprayer, as nutrients are quickly absorbed and spread through
