How to Fertilize trumpet vine?

For trumpet creeper, a balanced nutrition fertilizer ensures vibrant blooms and robust growth. Fertilize bi-monthly during growing seasons with a 10-10-10 NPK ratio, tapering off in fall. Apply 2 pounds per 100 square feet, avoiding over-fertilization to prevent excessive foliage at bloom's expense. Adjust based on soil tests and growth patterns; young plants may require more frequent feeding. Always water after applying to distribute nutrients evenly, and protect roots from chemical burn by keeping granules off stems.
