Do you want to fertilize anice in Florida, but don’t know when the best time to do so is?
Fertilizing anice is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Anice requires a specific time to be fertilized and a particular amount of fertilization.
So if you fertilize them too early they will die and if you fertilize them too late you won’t get any harvest.
And if you fertilize too much you will “burn” your plant and if you don’t fertilize enough your anice plant won’t grow quickly and large enough to bear a high-yield harvest.
Today, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to fertilize anice in Florida:

When to Fertilize Anice in Florida
There are two specific times you should fertilize your anice plants:
- You should immediately fertilize your anice plants with a 10-10-10 NPK balanced fertilizer mix. Water soluble fertilizer tends to be better for herb plants like anice. The fertilizer should either be mixed with the soil you are planting or in the hole before you transplant your anice into the ground. This will allow your plants to grow quicker and larger.
- The second round of fertilization should be applied just as your anice plant begins to grow large, edible leaves. You will want to still use a balanced fertilizer mix, preferably water-soluble. You will want to apply it to your soil and immediately water after and will continue to do this every 2 – 4 weeks. This will allow your anice plant to bear bigger and more harvest.
When NOT to Fertilize Anice in Florida
There are certain times you should not fertilize your anice plant.
- Don’t fertilize seedlings that are less than 1 month old.
- Don’t fertilize anice plants without immediately watering them after.
- Don’t fertilize anice plants once they have large, edible leaves on them.
- Don’t fertilize anice after the initial fertilization period or before large, edible leaves begins to grow on your plant.
How Much Fertilizer Should I Apply to My Anice Plants?
The amount of fertilization you apply will depend on the specific type of anice plant you have.
As a general rule you should:
- Always follow the instructions on your fertilizer package. Never apply more than the recommended amount.
- Apply the proper amount of fertilization around your anice plant and never directly on it or on its stem.
- Provide the same amount of fertilization each time you apply it so that your anice plant does not become shocked by too many or too few nutrients.
