How to Use Kool Bloom in Soil

Kool Bloom promotes flowering.

Kool Bloom is a fertilizer manufactured by the General Hydroponics Company. It is typically used in soilless hydroponic systems to feed the roots of plants. However, you can also use it in a traditional garden or potted containers that hold soil. Kool Bloom is designed for use on flowers and edible plants to promote larger blooms and the faster ripening of fruits and vegetables. Kool Bloom is available in both liquid and granular forms.

Things You'll Need

• Bucket or garden sprayer
• Water
• Spoon

Instructions

Kool Bloom Liquid Application

1. Fill a bucket or a garden sprayer with 1 gallon of water and add 1 to 2 tsp. of the Kool Bloom liquid fertilizer product.

2. Mix the solution up by stirring the bucket until no granules are visible or by closing the garden sprayer and shaking it well.

3. Pour the mixture into the soil using the same amount you normally use when watering the plants. Water potted plants all the way to the bottom of the soil and the top 2 to 3 inches of soil for those in the ground.

Kool Bloom Granular Application

1. Fill a bucket or a garden sprayer with 1 gallon of tap water and add in 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of the Kool Bloom fertilizer granules.

2. Stir the mixture well with a spoon until the granules are completely dissolved and no residue is visible on the bottom of the container. If you are using a garden sprayer, close it tightly and shake it to dissolve the granules.

3. Water the soil around the plants with the Kool Bloom mixture using the same amount that you would normally use for watering. For most potted plants water until the sol is damp to the bottom, and for ground plants water until the top 2 to 3 inches of soil are damp.
