Foliar Spray: A Comprehensive Guide to Enhance Plant Growth
Introduction
Foliar spray is a technique of fertilizing plants by applying nutrients directly to the leaves. This method is highly effective in providing nutrients to plants as they can absorb them faster through their stomata. In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide on foliar spray and its benefits.
What is Foliar Spray?
Foliar spray is the process of applying fertilizers, pesticides, or other plant nutrients directly to the leaves of plants. It involves spraying a solution on the leaves of plants, which can be absorbed by the stomata and transported throughout the plant. The nutrients applied help plants grow stronger, healthier, and more resistant to diseases and pests.

How to Apply Foliar Spray
Here are the steps to apply foliar spray:
- Choose the right time: The best time to apply foliar feed is early morning or late afternoon when the stomata of the plants are open. Avoid spraying during hot and sunny days to prevent damage to the leaves.
- Use the right equipment: Use a sprayer with a fine mist nozzle to ensure even application of the solution. Adjust the nozzle to get the right amount of coverage and avoid over-spraying. You can see opur range of pre-mixed sprays here
- Apply the solution: Start spraying from the bottom of the plant and move upwards to ensure complete coverage. Avoid spraying the flowers or buds directly to prevent damage. (This does not apply with our cut flower sprays) see here
- Repeat the process: Repeat every 7-10 days for best results.
