I'm doing things all wrong. I am being lazy and throwing a lot of fertilizer at the plant and saying to the plant "this should last you a week!"... but the plants response isnt a good one. The plant responds like a person who won the lottery. It ignores its other sources of income (like mycorizae) and parties for one night, and its hung over, fails to show up to work, and is not one bit healthier the next day.

I think if I apply the trickle feed method to foliar feeding, aka "trickle foliar feeding", then the plant will be much more responsible with its small fertilizer bonus and put it to good use and not be hung over the next day. Winning the jackpot basically creates all the same problems in plants as it does in people, it ends up being destructive.

Whereas a consistent routine of hard work followed by small rewards builds the plant up. As it does people.
