Nesa,
What type of soil did you use in your containers? If you used soil-less
potting mix you may want to fertilize once a week, as it has no
nutrients in it. I thought fish emulsion was mixed in water (that's how
it is sold here) so don't understand your watering question. I would
use the directions on the package for how much to mix into the water and
then water the plants as you usually do. I would do this for all my
potted plants.
The reason I asked about what type of soil, it may affect how often you
should fertilize. Maybe Arzeena can add to this?
