Fertilizer for potted plants and flowers


Recommended Posts

What would be a good general fertilizer for different kind of stuff that I grow in flowerpots. A few months ago I put some of the blue pellets in the pots for some small trees and bushes. I belive I must have overdosed beceause most of these plants died. Any tips for some multipurpose fertilizer that is easy to use would be appreciated.

Yes liquid probably safer.... you buy the powder (fine crystals might be a better term) and mix yourself.. you probably put on too much though!

Always whether you used pellets or a liquid feed make sure soil is moist first... doing in early morning or late afternoon would be better also (unless it's cool!)

Usually sold in foil packing. Roughly a teaspoon per litre of water or a tablespoon per 4 litres... every couple of weeks or so.

For flowers and shrubs in pots , Osmocote is a slow release fertilizer that would also work well...
