Usage Questions

• What is the difference between granules and liquid, and which should I choose?

Granules: Granules are a slowly dissolving, long-acting form. They are mainly used by mixing them into the soil, when planting or by sprinkling them at the base of plants. The advantage is easy storage and slow, even nutrient release.

Liquid: Liquid is a quickly absorbed, immediate-acting form. Can be applied by spraying or watering. Ideal for quick nutrient replenishment of plants, especially in stressful situations (e.g. transplanting, drought).

• Which one should I choose?
  
  The choice depends on the purpose of use. If the goal is general soil improvement and long-term plant nutrition, granules are the better choice. If you need a quick effect or want to feed the plants through the leaves, choose the liquid.

• How to use Humikal Universal on the lawn?
  
  For the lawn, the recommended dosage is usually 50-100 ml Humikal Universal per 10 liters of water, which can treat an area of 100 m². Apply evenly to the lawn using a sprayer or watering can. For best results, repeat the treatment once a month during the growing season. For granules, spread at a dose of 1-3 kg/ 100 square meters.

• Can I use Humikal Universal on houseplants?
  
  Yes, it is also excellent for houseplants. Mix 5-10 ml of Humikal Universal with 1 liter of water and water the plants with it every 2-4 weeks. Do not use excessively, as overwatering can harm the plants. Sprinkle granules on the soil with a small handful.

• How often should I use Humikal Universal on my garden plants (vegetables, flowers)?
  
  For vegetables and flowers, the recommended dosage is 50-70 ml of Humikal Universal per 10 liters of water. Water the base of the plants every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. You can also spray the leaves, especially if the plants show signs of stress. For granules, the dosage is 1-3 kg/ 100 square meters.

• How to apply Humikal Universal to fruit trees?
  
  For young fruit trees, 50-100 ml of Humikal Universal mixed with 10 liters of water, watered around the tree trunk once a month. For older trees, the dosage depends on the size of the tree, but is usually 100-200 ml per 10 liters of water, every 1-2 months. For granules, sprinkle 1-1.5 kg at the base of the tree.

• When is the best time to apply Humikal Universal?
  
  For best results, apply the product in the morning or evening, on cloudy days, when there is no direct, strong sunlight. This helps to avoid evaporation and ensures better absorption of the active ingredients. It is especially good for granules to be applied before direct rainfall. It helps it to wash in.

• Should Humikal Universal be re-applied after rain?
  
  In the case of light rain, it is not necessary to re-apply immediately. After heavy, prolonged rain, which can wash away the product, it is worth considering a repeat treatment, especially if the treatment was fresh. In the case of granules, rainfall is especially good, as it helps it to wash in.

Problems and Solutions

• What should I do if I accidentally overdosed Humikal Universal?
  
  Although Humikal Universal is naturally based, it is not possible to overdose. Monitor your plants and seek professional advice if you notice any negative signs.

• Why don't I see immediate results after using Humikal Universal?
