In general, it is better to fertilize with small quantities more often than with large quantities infrequently. <\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:1\"><strong>Do not over-fertilize:<\/strong> Excessive fertilization can harm plants. If you notice brown spots on the leaves or if the plant looks withered, you may have over-fertilized it. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:25\"><strong>Fertilization tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"25:1-26:106\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:80\"><strong>Water before fertilizing:<\/strong> Fertilize moist soil to avoid damage to the roots.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"26:1-26:106\"><strong>Avoid getting on the leaves:<\/strong> Some fertilizers can scorch the leaves.
