I had some leftover Miracle-Grow Miracid fertilizer solution so poured it on my Borage seedlings today to use it up and decimated the leaves. I had used this same solution on other types of seedlings without these extreme effects. I may have been able to rescue the plants by cutting off the most severely burnt and wilted leaves and dipping the whole plant and pot in rainwater and letting it drain to remove the excess fertilizer in the soil and on the plant leaves. Maybe because of the hairy leaves they are more susceptible to fertilizer burn from foliar feeding.
