    The idea is following: Let’s say the fertilizer tells you to use it once a month, so you currently add a big amount (the recommendation on the label) at once, and water the rest only with plain water weekly for example.

    This creates a lot of stress, and the plant has to use it up completely until you dose again in 4 weeks.

    Instead, you fertilize with 1/4 every time, but water your plant 4 times a month, which spreads it out better. Continuous feeding doesn’t dehydrate the roots as much.

    Also, don’t forget to discard the leftover nutrient solution every few weeks or months, since it contains lots of waste.
