How to Fertilize Leptinella Squalida
- 1). Apply well-rotted manure to your New Zealand brass buttons early in the spring. Spread the material over the entire bed to a depth of 1 inch, just as with mulch. This supplies the plants with much of the nutrition they need for the entire growing season.
- 2). Feed brass buttons an all-purpose, liquid fertilizer in early spring before new growth emerges, once they become well established. Mix the material with water in a watering can according to the packaging instructions. The amount of packaged product and its correct mixing specifications vary according to the brand and type of fertilizer that you purchase.
- 3). Add an amount of water equal to the volume of the fertilizer mixture in the watering can to dilute it to half-strength. Blend the solution thoroughly.
- 4). Water your brass buttons' roots thoroughly with the solution.
- 5). Repeat the all-purpose liquid fertilizer application procedure once early in the summer.
