Espoma Palm-Tone

While specifically formulated for palms and hibiscus, this fertilizer is safe for most tropical and ornamental plants. However, because the NPK ratio is tailored to the specific needs of these varieties, you may not see the same optimal results on vegetables or heavy-feeding flowering shrubs.

No, the slow-release, organic formula is designed to be gentle. It will not burn your plants, even if you are slightly heavy-handed during application.

For best results, apply Palm-Tone three times a year: once in the early spring, once in the early summer, and again in the late summer. Always water the soil thoroughly after application to help the nutrients reach the root zone.

Yes, Palm-Tone is organic and free of harmful sludges or fillers, making it safe for use in gardens where pets and children play. We still recommend keeping them away from the immediate area while you are applying the granules to avoid accidental ingestion.

No, this is a granular, slow-release fertilizer and is not water-soluble. It is intended to be applied directly to the soil around the base of the plant, where it will break down gradually over time.
