Tree spikes - can I use it in a flower pot?

I bought some tree spikes. The label claims to feed flowering trees. Each spike is the shape of a cuttlefish bone. The color is light green.

I placed them at the bottom of several pots of winter bulbs - allium purple sensation, anemone blanda and a min-Kodana rose. Each pot has one spike.

After the hard works, then, I read the details on the label: it says that the spikes are supposed to be placed at least 2 feet away from tree trunk.

Oh no.

Now, do I have to dig out the spikes from my pots? Will it be ok if I keep the spikes in pots and keep the soil on the dry side?
