    I have never fertilized my crepe myrtles, over 25 years and they bloom like crazy and have even made millions of tiny baby ones. Are you having a problem with yours?

    I use miracle grow for all my plants, if you use the container on a hose you can get them all at once

    multipurpose Miracle Grow is best fertilizer or Osmocote. In the spring when the myrtles first leaves begin to show, you should use the first application and about each 2 weeks thereafter throughout spring and summer.

    Be sure to water every week if dry climate.

    Go to your local home and garden center and get a soil test kit. Follow the directions and send it in. Your specific soil requirements will be sent to you for recommendations on what you need to use to amend your soil.
