Hey peeps, when the growing season starts over the last few years given my potted plants a weekly feed of liquid seaweed except my potted roses because i fed them rose food early in the year. Would my roses benefit from a feed of seaweed too?.
I water the roots, but spraying the leaves will get into the plants faster and use less seaweed extract, but I guess it'll hang around in the soil a bit longer if watered at the roots. So whichever method takes your fancy. I also use seaweed meal that I chuck around the garden when I think of it - smells just like the sea side

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
The rose food is good for the NPK macros, but not all rose food contains the micros that roses also benefit from, seaweed does. I think of seaweed as a tonic not a feed and would give it to my potted roses more if it weren’t so expensive and difficult to get hold of over here. Alternating seaweed with tomato feed (for potassium) during the flowering season is a good idea.

All plants will benefit from it - about once a month during the growing season
