Fertilizers such as the conventional 5-10-5 or fish meal, which emphasize phosphorus [P] over nitrogen [N] and potassium [K], are what's needed when a crape myrtle [Lagerstroemia spp] grows in poor soils. Otherwise, such balanced commercial fertilizers as 10-10-10 or 30-30-30, may be used. Fertilizer may be applied as much as monthly during the growing season. But once established, after two years, there's usually no need to fertilizer more than once a year, in late fall or early spring.
It's important to follow directions, particularly if the selection turns to the slow release fertilizers that tend to be recommended in the tree's first growing season. It also is important to make sure that the fertilizer is applied evenly over the ground under the tree, out to the drip line. It's important too to make sure that the fertilizer application is followed by a good long drink of water before 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m. Without proper watering, the nutrients won't be in soluble form. Insoluble nutrients can't be taken in by plant roots.
