â Colloidal oatmeal has properties that comfort itching, so it is a good choice for relieving the pains of eczema. Simply run your bath with lukewarm water, and while the tub is filling, add a packet (two to three cups) of colloidal oatmeal under the faucet to help disperse the oatmeal.irst let me tell you that I ran across colloidal oatmeal from reading the ingredients off a bottle of Eucerin. Iâve never purchased Eucerin, but I was curious why it is so popular and why so many people recommend it for my sonâs eczema and dry skin. First, check out the ingredients in Eucerin.
The ideal palm fertilizer has 8 percent nitrogen, 2 percent phosphorus, 12 percent potassium and 4 percent magnesium -- these are indicated with the numbers 8-2-12-4 printed on the bag. Make sure to use slow-release fertilizers only.
What to use. A complete fertilizer that supplies nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, such as 10-8- 6, is often suggested. This formula can vary somewhat, but usually the nitrogen content (the first number) will be higher than the phosphorus (second number) or potassium (final number). It is always best to have a reliable soil test run before fertilizing, as much of our soil already has sufficient amounts of phosphorus and needs no extra.
