Choosing the right care
Woody plants give a garden structure.
This group ranges from small shrubs to large trees. The feed supplies the declared nutrients; light, soil, water and mature size remain the basis for choosing a position. Additional feeding may be unnecessary in adequately supplied garden soil.
- Declared NPK
- 4.2 + 3.0 + 4.5With declared trace nutrients.
- Dilution
- 10 ml per 2.5 l of waterEvery 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
- Application
- Roots & foliageDilute before use.
- Regular application period
- April/May–SeptemberOnly during active growth.
Fits your care routine
Deciduous trees & shrubs
For deciduous woody plants. Species, location and need determine care; there is no single recipe for every tree.
During active growth
The plant is growing, the root ball is moist and excess water can drain.
Allow for fresh compost
After repotting, take any fertiliser already in the compost into account. Investigate root damage before adding feed.

Hydroponics
Hydroponics requires product- and crop-specific instructions. The watering dilution above is not a guide for a permanent nutrient solution. This calculator therefore does not calculate hydroponic doses, EC targets or top-up amounts for this fertiliser concentrate. Please discuss the product and your hydroponic system with our advisers.
Contact our advisers →Irrigation system / fertilizer injector
Dosing units, irrigation systems and fertilizer injectors need settings suitable for the product and equipment. Plant size alone cannot determine pump settings, running time or a stock solution.
- Establish the actual water flow and intended running time.
- Check injection ratio, suction and product suitability against the equipment and product instructions.
- Prepare a flow test with clean water according to the equipment instructions. Do not use the normal watering dilution as continuous injection without checking its suitability.

Mixing with other productsMixing, combining or applying separately
Using products as part of the same care routine is different from mixing them in one container. Follow the labels and application instructions of all products involved.
- Tank mixing: Combine products in a watering can or spray tank only when the manufacturer instructions confirm the specific combination and use. Do not mix undiluted concentrates together.
- Separate application: Applying products separately or at different times does not automatically establish compatibility. Check the species, location, plant condition and instructions for both products. No universal waiting period follows from this.
- Complementary products: A recommendation for suitable growing media, accessories or another care product does not mean that it may be mixed with the fertiliser.
- Plant protection products: The crop, target organism, application method and pack instructions must also be suitable. The fertiliser calculator does not calculate plant protection product quantities or confirm compatibility.
GREEN24 confirms that this liquid fertiliser can be mixed with one of the following products at a time: Kiron® Milben-Ex, Schädlings-Frei-Organic or Trauermückenfrei Organic.
Confirmation applies to fertiliser plus one individual product. Select and dose the plant protection product according to its current instructions for the relevant crop, pest, application site and method. This does not confirm that the three plant protection products can be mixed with one another.

Thoughtful plant care
Woody plants give a garden structure.
Spring blossom, summer shade and the outline of bare branches: deciduous plants transform a garden over the years. The pictured magnolia illustrates that variety. Plan around the mature plant, allowing space for both crown and roots.

Mix your fertiliser – step by step
Prepare the amount of nutrient solution you need. The dilution depends on this product and the required amount of water.
-
Clean the container
Clean the watering can, sprayer or bucket and rinse it with clean water.
-
Calculate the dose
Choose the amount of water you need and calculate the matching concentrate dose. The dosage calculator helps you do this.
Dilution: 10 ml per 2.5 l of water
Calculate the right amount → -
Add some water
Pour part of the calculated amount of water into the container first.
-
Shake, open & measure
Shake the closed bottle well. Then open it and measure the calculated concentrate dose with the dosing cap. Measure more than once if needed.
A full dosing cap holds 5 ml. Use suitable millilitre graduations for smaller amounts.
-
Add the concentrate
Pour the measured concentrate into the water already in the container.
-
Add the remaining water & mix
Add the rest of the calculated water and mix thoroughly. Your diluted nutrient solution is ready.
Dosage and water choice
Shake well before use. Choose the volume of water and measure the calculated concentrate dose. Pack size does not change the dilution.
Preferably use low-lime water or rainwater at 15–25 °C. Add the measured concentrate to the water and mix thoroughly. Never apply undiluted; prepare only what you need.
When applying the solution
Check growth, growing-medium moisture and previous feeding. Feed only during active growth.
Regular application period: April/May–September
For root feeding, moisten dry growing medium with water first. Check drainage; the pot should not remain standing in water.
Distribute the diluted solution over the pre-moistened root zone or spray the foliage. Do not spray open flowers. Do not apply in direct sunlight, below 5 °C or above 30 °C. Do not inhale spray mist.
Follow the safety instructions →Water the root zone
Moisten a dry root ball with water first. Apply the mixed fertiliser solution evenly to the compost and let excess water drain. Do not apply in full sun, below 5 °C or above 30 °C.
Spray the foliage
Mist the diluted solution onto the upper and lower leaf surfaces, avoiding open flowers. Do not apply in full sun, below 5 °C or above 30 °C. The same dilution applies here too; plant-size calculations are a guide for watering only.

Understanding nutrient supply
Two application routes. One care routine.
The diluted solution can be applied to the moist root zone or the leaf surface. Choose the appropriate route; the two methods do not justify two additional feeds. Explore how uptake works in the interactive explanation.

Understanding plant feeding
How do nutrients get into a plant?
Through the roots or through the leaves: explore four steps to discover how a plant takes up and uses nutrients.
Select a point in the picture or choose a stage.
Stage 01 / 04
Water carries nutrients to the roots
Dilute the fertiliser with water according to the label. Watering carries this nutrient solution into the soil or growing medium around the roots.
Good to knowAlways dilute the concentrate and keep to the stated dosage.
A closer look
Watering carries dissolved nutrients into the growing medium around the roots. Contact with the absorbing root surfaces is the first step.
Stage 02 / 04
Roots take up dissolved nutrients
Fine root hairs increase contact with the growing medium. Tiny transport proteins in the membranes surrounding root cells help dissolved nutrients enter the cells.
Good to knowRoots take up nutrients; they do not simply absorb all the fertiliser along with the water.
A closer look
Root hairs increase the contact area. Transport proteins in cell membranes enable mineral ions to enter; water movement and nutrient uptake are distinct processes.
Stage 03 / 04
An inner layer controls the route
On their way into the root, nutrients meet a special layer of cells. It prevents substances from simply flowing through the gaps between cells and helps the plant control uptake.
Good to knowMore fertiliser does not automatically mean better nutrition.
A closer look
Nutrients move through the root tissues. The endodermis acts as a control layer: its barrier interrupts unrestricted movement along the cell walls.
Stage 04 / 04
Transport channels carry water and nutrients
Inside the root are fine transport channels called xylem. Water and absorbed nutrients can travel through them towards shoots and leaves.
Good to knowHealthy roots and suitable growing conditions are important for nutrient supply.
A closer look
After entering the vascular tissue, nutrients can travel with the water stream in the xylem towards the shoot. Uptake and nutrient supply also depend on root health and growing conditions.
View original diagram ↗GREEN24 diagram with German labels
Stage 01 / 04
Diluted solution is applied to the leaf
For foliar feeding, diluted nutrient solution is sprayed onto the leaves. The product instructions tell you whether it is suitable for this use and how much to apply.
Good to knowSpray only as directed by the product instructions, never with undiluted concentrate.
A closer look
Foliar feeding places diluted nutrient solution on the leaf surface. Wetting depends on factors including the leaf surface and the solution.
Stage 02 / 04
Nutrients must cross the protective surface
The leaf surface protects the plant. Dissolved nutrients can pass through this layer; tiny openings in the leaf may also play a part. Uptake varies with the type of leaf and the conditions.
Good to knowDifferent leaves do not absorb a nutrient solution equally well.
A closer look
Dissolved nutrients can pass through the protective cuticle; pathways involving stomata may also contribute. Their relative importance varies with plant species and conditions.
Stage 03 / 04
Cells inside the leaf take up nutrients
Behind the surface lies living leaf tissue. Its cells can take up nutrients that have crossed the surface and use them for their activities.
Good to knowA droplet on a leaf does not yet mean its nutrients have been absorbed.
A closer look
After crossing the surface, nutrients can be taken up by living leaf cells. The amount depends on factors including the nutrient, formulation and environmental conditions.
Stage 04 / 04
Nutrients are used in the leaf and may move onward
The plant can use absorbed nutrients within the leaf. Some can also reach other plant parts. This depends on the nutrient and the plant's condition.
Good to knowFoliar feeding does not mean every nutrient immediately reaches the whole plant.
A closer look
Absorbed nutrients can be used within the leaf. Whether and how far they move to other plant parts depends on the nutrient and the plant's condition.

Frequently asked questions
A question before you feed?
How far does the concentrate go?
At 10 ml per 2.5 litres of water, 250 ml makes 62.5 litres of prepared solution. The twin pack makes 125 litres.
Does every garden tree need regular liquid feed?
No. Need and existing soil nutrition determine this. Established woody plants in suitable soil do not automatically need regular additional feed. Check soil and growing conditions when uncertain.
Can I prune every shrub the same way in spring?
No. Spring- and summer-flowering shrubs produce blooms on different growth. Identify the species and flowering habit first; poorly timed pruning can remove the next display.
Can I feed immediately after repotting?
Check the nutrient charge in the new compost. Those nutrients count towards the plant’s supply. Recently damaged roots first need suitable moisture and growing conditions.
Can I combine root and foliar feeding?
The two label applications are alternative routes within one nutrient programme, not two parallel feeding programmes. For combinations with other products, follow their respective application directions.
