I fed my trees with a dry "food" and now one of them look like this. What do I do?

The only problem with dry fertilizer to a pot is that you may not get the balanced 5-5-5. You could get an overload of any one of N-P-K because they are not evenly distributed throughout the bag. Liquid or time released balanced pellets/spikes are best for pots and dry is more practical for in-ground plants. Just my opinion. Good luck and good growing.

It just looks wilted a bit to me, like it needs to be watered. Perhaps the dry food sucked some of the moisture out and it just needs watering? __________________ Nick- Youtube: PA Figs \| eBay: tdepoala Zone 6B/7A - Douglassville, PA Wish list - Galicia Negra, Paritjal Rimada, Black Ischia UCD

I had this happen to my figs last year around June. They looked like that for about a month and then grew out of it. Maybe take some of the visible pellets off of the top. I'm not sure how this works for indoor figs in the winter.

I'd also not fertilize it for a few weeks, give it time to heal. ~ i agree with you, good answer this is what i would have said to ,not that the other answers aren't any good ,all advice is helpful~i think it needs not be fertilized looks overwhelmed to me ~ __________________
