Comments (9)I think that is enough while they are still little and growing. For now you can go ahead and keep giving them the more balanced fertilizer. You could give them a little extra nitrogen while they are still putting on vegetative growth. Once they are larger and start making Y shaped branches at the top, they will be ready to start making flowers. Then you can either give them balanced fertilizer or the high middle # (phosphorus) in the NPK ratio type fertilizer. You can also double the amt of fertilizer when they are bigger if you want to. Mine are hogs and will eat everything throw at them when they are larger. Some people like to give them tomato fertilizer. They really aren't that picky. In their natural habitats they are even found growing at human refuse sites. No wonder they just seem to love milirganite (lots of nitrogen w some iron in it). Just make sure to water all plants well before fertilizing....See MoreMy Brugmansia (angel trumpet) finally bloomed
