Would you please recommend a universal fertilizer to this soil for green-leaf house plants? Thanks!

I've been using Super Green liquid fertilizer for the past few years and like it.

Yeah it's two teaspoons per gallon or two dropper fulls worth comes out same. So I'd recommend a miracle grow outdoor plant food that has a platic mixer that hooks up to your hose, cheapest way to go for the long run if your doing a garden or outdoor house bushes. This is fine for one or two bushes to be fertilized one a month. But will go quick, great for house plants though, and you can try it once and see if you see results. Good Luck Hope I Helped

This houseplant vitamin is awesome and works great in any medium, including water, soil, water beads, etc. However, it sounds like your plant is in overwatered soil. Is that possible? If so, let it dry out "just" to where the leaves start to lose their stiffness and then water with Miracle Gro Root Stimulator. Then in a couple of weeks, start feeding with the Miracle Gro liquid houseplant food, 1 capful to a gallon of water and make sure your plant has good drainage so it isn't sitting in saturated soil. You might transplant your plant to Miracle Gro water control potting soil. That might help as well. I use Miracle Gro products on all my plants and I'm said to have a "green" thumb. Let me know how it goes. This houseplant vitamin is awesome and works great in any medium, including water, soil, water beads, etc. However, it sounds like your plant is in overwatered soil.

That sounds correct to me.. use high nitrogen for green growth the other for budding and fruiting , assuming it has the ingredients for tha:t phosphorous and potash.

We use Miracle-Gro Potting Soil in all our containers. We have enjoyed great success with a wide variety of plants using this soil.

I would just buy the ocean Forrest soil. As far as the liquid nutrients by fox farm the 3 are to be used throughout the whole season. The grow big bloom is for early seedling stage the grow big is for veggitating stage and when peppers start blooming switch to tiger bloom. My advice....only use 1/2 the reccomended dosage.

I used this highly recommended product as my only fertilizer and it is working very well. Shortly after I began using it, the leaves "perked right up". I should mention, I am growing my first Orchid. I wish you much success!

You will need other fertilizer as well. This is just micro-nutrients. I use it instead of the kelp meal/azomite in this formula: http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/complete-organic-fertilizer-zebz1309znsp.aspx?PageId=2#ArticleContent

From research that I have done, a combination of soil made for palm/cactus/citrus plants and standard Miracle Grow should be used. When I replanted my tree I used nearly an entire bag of the palm/cactus/citrus soil and about an equal amount of Miracle Grow. My tree is thriving and has multiple "baby" lemons on it. It is also recommended that you fertilize it a few times over Spring and Summer, but not over the winter. Recommended fertilizers are those high in nitrogen. I use a fish emulsion that is a 5-1-1- ratio of nitrogen, phosphate and soluble potash. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Sorry, but I don't recall. I was following the advice of John Koler (not sure if spelling is correct) from Growing Your Greens on Youtube. He recommends Azomite highly, and has a lot of good videos on application. Good luck.

You do not absolutely NEED anything else but a liquid fertilizer is helpful. You can pick up a basic weekly use fertilizer (I use flourish by Seachem) or look into EI dosing (more work, better results). Depending on your plants you may want to look into root tabs (small fertilizer tablet in the substrate under the plant), CO2, and better lighting systems.Research into your plants will determine if you need to upgrade lighting and use CO2.All told, I do well with eco-complete and the weekly dose of Flourish. I do just as well in my sand substrate though. I prefer eco-complete for size and color. I have not found anything comparable in those factors near the price of eco-complete.

Hi, I used about 3 large bags of high quality potting soil, FoxFarm "Ocean Forest" from a place called Indoor Garden and Lighting: www.indoorgarden.com. It has worked amazing! We put about 500 red wiggler worms in the middle tube and water about once a week. We catch about 4 gallons of the rich nutrients from the soil and organic plant food out of the bottom holes when we water and put that on the rest of our garden. You will be amazed! The soil we used costs a lot on Amazon, but we paid about $14 USD a bag on sale at Indoor Garden and Lighting. You do not want to use the cheap dense soil at the hardware chains, even the expensive ones are not clean like the Ocean Forest Potting Soil. Another one I like is Happy Frog Potting Soil, it is a very high quality soil as well. Good luck and hope that helps! Mike

I don't know what a horticulturist would say, but I like to water in any granular fertilizer that I use. This product is easy to apply, and I've been getting excellent results. My blossoms are larger, and the greenery grows really quickly.

I would also buy FoxFarm FX14045 Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz & Cha Ching Soluble Granular Fertilizer Tri-Pack, 3/1-Pound Canisters and use only the open sesame, beastie bloom, and cha-ching by themselves from flowering til harvest. I had good results with these fertilisers.

I use it for every single plant I have. It has worked so well with my orchids that I started using it on everything. My winter blooming orchids are all still blooming and they are still growing flower spikes. This is the only fertilizer I use now. It's very gentle and does not burn anything.
