I’m in the process of lowering my plant’s pH; should I also fertilize? It’s August 25, here in NY state.

Question

I’m sorry, I have no image to show.

Answer 1

I don't see mention of the plant in question, but generally, it's getting late in the year to fertilize. Plants need time to harden off before winter and you don't want a sudden spurt of tender, new growth at the end of the season.
