Water the papaya tree every other day through maturity. Fertilize the newly planted papaya with ( 1/4lb of 14-14-14 fertilizer) every two weeks until it reaches 8 months old.

I wouldnt be able to give advice. My shipment arrived dead. So I never got the chance to grow.

Not sure but I was very happy with how it grew. Planted about 2 months ago and I have a thick lush area where I planted, about 100sq ft of bare land.

Sorry I haven't had this issue. Perhaps another issue with nutrients or water temperature. What are you growing?

Any good soilless mix should be fine. Grow, Micro, Bloom are used together. The ratios change with your grow cycle. Good products.

If the plant is to be planted in the ground it should contain some of the soil dug for the plant. I use about 60% soil. 30% potting soil and 10% compost, well mixed.

I use 7 drops/quart but if you like you can dilute it until you see how your plant(s) respond. Maybe use half the recommended amount to start.

Nothing really--seeds, water and light! If you replant, you would need more dirt and seeds but that's it.

EACH SPRING before planting, evenly broadcast and mix into soil l lb SEA-90 per 100 sq ft. To make a COMPOST TEA, Mix 1 lb SEA-90 per 100 gallons or 1 tsp per gallon during the brewing process to improve microbial populations. For POTTING SOIL, Use 1 tbsp SEA-90 mixed into 24 lbs soil mix. For GROWING PLANTS, make a Nutrient-Rich Foliar Spray by mixing 1 tsp SEA-90 per gallon clean water (large scale applications mix 1 lb SEA-90 per 100 gallons). This solution can be misted or sprayed on plant leaves once each day.

We planted ours in Modoc County of California at 4700' altitude...... high desert. I don't know about Carolina's climate, etc. but our area generally cools at night and is dry with summer temperatures about 90 degrees maximum in the day with most days at mid 80's.... or high 70's.. quite pleasant. You might try calling the Dirty Gardener's number (253-383-5014). I spoke with Jean and she was very helpful. I wish I had called before we planted..... we'd have done it differently and with greater success but even so, we're quite likely to use it again at our rental next door in the spring. I hope this is helpful. We planted ours in Modoc County of California at 4700' altitude...... high desert.

I planted them in 1/2 Top Soil, 1/2 Miracle Grow. Small pot to start with, bigger pots as they mature. Warm Temp; around 70-75. Same light as all other house plants and it grows. Pretty simple seedling Process.

I'm still trying to figure out if its ever going to grow. I've had in the ground for months, it's only grown a few inches, and sprouted just a few new shoots. Its in ideal temperature and healthy soil.

I cannot tell you the exact ammount. I can tell you I purchased a large bag of potting soil and I was able to fill two planters with soil left over. I hope this is helpful.

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!

If you can't find specific numbers for the plants you noted, establish your own moisture level. Simple instruments like the 1820 can only report the percentage of moisture in the soil and if you know your plants either like their home wet or on the dry side, the 1820 will give you a close idea of just how wet the soil is. The great thing about gardening is that so much of it is experimental and what a pleasure to have success.

Best way is to play. Try different amounts (starting with very little) on batch's of your plants and track the results. There are so many variables when growing something/anything, it is best to take the time to find what will work. If you don't have that many I would start at 1/4 that recommended amount. It may not seem like much, but at least you won't over do it. Which in most cases plants don't recover very well or at all.

Just regular soil. You can get some soil out of the yard or just buy some. No specific steps. Just plant it in the pot with the soil and water.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.
