   Growing With Charles Malki Podcast #4 - FEED YOUR PLANTS — And They’ll Feed You! 🌱

   ARE YOU FEEDING YOUR PLANTS AT THE RIGHT TIME—OR ARE YOU WASTING FERTILIZER? 🌱 Welcome to Growing With Charles Malki — Podcast Episode 4! I’m Charles Malki, co-founder of IV Organic and host of the IV Organic YouTube channel. In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most important—and often misunderstood—aspects of gardening: 🌱 PLANT NUTRITION & PLANT METABOLISM Most gardeners know about N-P-K (Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Potassium), but did you know that plants require an entire spectrum of nutrients to grow, flower, produce fruit, and remain healthy? IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE: 🌿 Why N-P-K is only the beginning 🌿 The importance of calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and essential micronutrients 🌿 How plant nutrition compares to human nutrition 🌿 Why MAY is one of the most important times of the year to feed your plants 🌿 Why spring and fall applications should generally be reduced 🌿 Why winter fertilizing can result in poor absorption and increased runoff 🌿 How foliar feeding can help provide nutrients when root uptake is limited 🌿 Why foliar feeding can be particularly valuable for citrus and other evergreen/tropical-type plants 🌿 How proper nutrition can help prepare your plants for maximum flowering and fruit production And we’ll discuss an important concept: PLANTS DON'T JUST NEED “FOOD”—THEY NEED THE RIGHT NUTRIENTS, IN THE RIGHT AMOUNTS, AT THE RIGHT TIME. Just like humans need a variety of vitamins and minerals, plants require a complete nutritional profile to thrive. 🍊 FEED YOUR PLANTS… AND THEY’LL FEED YOU! 🎁 🌱 SHARE THE GROWTH CHALLENGE! 🌱 Want to help grow our gardening community—and possibly win a FREE IV Organic Gardening Gift Box?

A: The 3-in-1 (Yellow Label) has 7 natural oils, including castor, cinnamon, clove, garlic, peppermint, rosemary and spearmint oils, which naturally repel most insects and rodents. The 3-in-1 benefits are: (1) sunburn (Summer Sunburn, Winter Sunscald), (2) Insect Repellent, and (3) Rodent Repellent. The WhiteWash (Blue Label) is oil-free. The primary function of this product is protection from sunburn, Summer Sunburn and Winter Sunscald. Both products have diatomaceous earth which offer some pest repellent protection. ______ 2:11 -- Q: IV Organic® 3-in-1 Plant Guard & IV Organic® White Wash products are available in many colors, including: white, brown, green, grey & greige. Does it matter which color is used? A: Color white naturally reflects the most light & heat. White is also the most popular selling color.

All colors offer protection from damaging summer sunburn & winter sunscald. ______ 3:10 -- Q: What is the difference between IV Organic® All Purpose Fertilizers, Super Blend & Premium Blend?
