Do these need fertilizer?

Yes they do. You can use a succulent plant spray every month with watering. 17-8-22 is what I use.Good Luck, If you get into this I have a lot of babies to share.

I am not sure myself. (I think that is a good question, but how would the nutrients be delivered, I wonder). You might want to contact the seller and ask.

No, you have to purchase them separate. The peat pellets don't fit they are too big so I would suggest you use starter soil.

Usually when you seed you add a starter fertilizer. I doubt that adding milorganite would hurt anything though

No as soon as you put them in the soil, you should water them or make sure the soil is wet when you root them.

Yeah, it's just what they need and they won't lose the natural fungus and bacteria that break down organic material to produce more natural fertilizer. But I would make sure to dilute it very well. Most people burn by using too much. Keeping the soil consistently moist is most important for soil health and for seedlings

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.

Paul, I bought this for my husband, so I asked him. This is what he said, "You can. But I just water mine enough to water the plants. I'm not trying to water it enough to get anything to run through and make fertilizer."Hope that helps. BTW...he loves his!

I planted herbs in mine and they flourished. The box comes with starter fertilizer and I would think that is an item to repeat each planting season.

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

Apparently so. I'm told you need 1or 2 spikes for the Spring/Summer season, as they hate soil with low nutrients

I purchased these at the end of last summer. I will be planting them in the next month or so... Who can say after this winter. I am looking forward to get them in the ground but I can't answer this question until then.

No, this the only fertilzer you need, but you can use other minerals if you like. I would add mushroom compost mix with ground carbon carcoal if you like.

Mine are doing great. I soak them in purified water for about 20 minutes every two weeks & then spray them w/fertilizer. They seem to love it.

No, they are strictly fertilizer. For insect prevention, we bought Bayer Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed. Supposed to be guaranteed to keep the plants bug free for a year.

I put them in potting soil in a shallow container. They don't need much water and do fine in just a few hours of sun. I bought them for floral arrangements last summer and didn't use them all. I still have them and they look great!

I wouldn't think so as the fertilizer is water soluble and works its way down to the roots in solution.
