Miracle-Gro Evergreen Plant Food Spikes

For optimal results, apply the spikes twice a year: once in early spring and again in mid-fall. This schedule ensures your evergreens receive consistent nutrition during their most active growth phases.

Yes, these spikes are particularly beneficial for younger plants as they help establish strong foliage structure. Just ensure the ground is soft and moist before application to make inserting the spikes easier and to prevent root damage.

Spikes offer a convenient, mess-free way to deliver nutrients directly to the root zone. Because they are buried in the soil, they provide a steady, slow-release feeding rather than a quick burst that might wash away with rain or watering.

The soil should be soft and moist before you begin. Simply drive the spike into the ground around the drip line of your tree or shrub—the area directly beneath the outer circumference of the branches—to ensure the nutrients reach the active root system.

These spikes are formulated to support deep, vibrant color by providing essential nutrients that evergreens need to maintain healthy, lush foliage. While they won't change the natural color of your plant, they help prevent the dullness often caused by nutrient deficiencies.
