We buy bags of a blue pellet fertilizer from the local Do Home that is all purpose. We use it on all our plants as well as the yard, and it works well. The label says Prayat Group with a sailing ship on the front, everything else is in Thai. It is 16, 16, 16. For the potted plants my wife usually mixes it in water, and then applies, for the yard she tosses it out and then waters.

Do some prints and take them with you.

Shops with fertilizer are usually easy to find in about any district town where the farmers shop.

Find them with your nose tongue.png

In that you are wanting something to feed the roots, the urea solution at 46-0-0 does not seem to be what you are looking for.

This may help -

A common way of describing the purpose behind each chemical is to think “up, down, and all around.” Applying this simple phrase will help you remember that Nitrogen (N), the first chemical listed, helps with plant growth above ground. Nitrogen does a great job of promoting the green leafy growth of foliage, and provides the necessary ingredients to produce lush green lawns. Lawn fertilizers will frequently have a high first number for this purpose.

Phosphorus (P), the middle number, is very effective at establishing growth below ground, in the form of healthy root systems. It is also the component most responsible for flower blooms and fruit production. You’ll notice that fertilizers designed for flower production, or starter-type fertilizers for your lawn, have a high middle number.

Potassium (K), the last number listed, is considered important for overall plant health. This is primarily due to its ability to help build strong cells within the plant tissue. In turn, the plants withstand various stresses, such as heat, cold, pests, and diseases. For example, winterizer fertilizers will have a high component of potassium.

From experience over the years of managing lawns in Thailand the best fertilisers are those in the NPK range but now with additional S and Mg. A lot of the soil laid around houses are land-fill soils which are lacking in nearly all the basic elements. I usually apply these compound fertilisers every 4-6 weeks in the wet season and maybe once in the dry season. I also recommend appyling lime twice in the wet season. Lime will increase the pH of these acid soils and generally help the health of both the grass lawns and surrounding trees.

Don't get the fresh stuff.

Like wine and cheese, it is better when aged.
