🌿 How to use LERAVA® Fertilizer for Dichondra
To achieve a dense, resilient, and deep-green Dichondra lawn, it is essential to apply the fertilizer correctly. Its balanced slow-release formula ensures long-lasting nutrition and natural protection against summer stress. Follow these steps to maximize the product’s effectiveness and keep your lawn healthy throughout the season.
1. Choose the ideal time:
Apply the fertilizer between late spring and summer, when Dichondra is in its active growth phase. Avoid extremely hot days or prolonged drought, and do not apply if heavy rain is expected in the following hours.
2. Prepare the lawn:
Lightly mow the Dichondra if necessary and remove dry leaves, plant debris, or other obstacles. A clean lawn allows the granules to reach the soil directly, improving nutrient absorption.
3. Make sure the lawn is dry:
Apply the fertilizer only to completely dry grass. This helps achieve even coverage and prevents the granules from sticking to the leaves, which could cause uneven distribution.
4. Recommended dosage:
Apply approximately 30 g per m² evenly over the entire area. One 2.7 kg bag is suitable for covering up to 90 m². Always adjust the amount to the size of the lawn to ensure balanced nutrition.
5. Even distribution:
For best results, use a hand spreader or push spreader. If applying by hand, divide the product into two parts and apply in crisscross directions to avoid darker or under-fed areas.
6. Immediate watering:
After application, water the lawn thoroughly. Water activates the slow-release formula and helps nutrients penetrate the soil, contributing to even growth and a brighter green color.
7. Fertilization frequency:
Apply twice during summer, spaced about one month apart. For even longer-lasting results, complete the program with a third application at the beginning of autumn to help strengthen the Dichondra and maintain density and vigor.
8. Avoid unnecessary stress on the lawn:
Do not fertilize newly seeded lawns or turf that is severely stressed by lack of water. In extreme conditions, wait until the lawn has recovered before proceeding.
9. Advanced nutrition and long-lasting protection:
The NK mineral composition with magnesium and sulfur, enriched with a nitrification inhibitor (DCD), improves nitrogen efficiency and reduces losses, providing consistent nutrition, greater resistance, and a more intense green color over time.
By following these guidelines, your Dichondra lawn will remain compact, uniform, and visibly healthy—even during the hottest months.
