# What fertilizer do y’all use for your philodendrons? My Prince of…

What fertilizer do y’all use for your philodendrons? My Prince of Orange, Pink Princess, and Black Gold/melanochrysum have been slow growers. Not sure if my plant lights and an eastern-facing window is sufficient enough. Suggestions? ☺️

Foliage pro has been amazing for my houseplants. Also maybe try moving your philos to a west or south facing window

Same! I’ve used it ever since I bought my first plant and it’s great.

I used to use something else, but I started using foliage pro, and my plants literally exploded with growth!

They love moss poles to grow into esp melanochysum and pink princess. My pink princess grew much faster and bigger with a moss pole.

I use organic fish emulsion but if you don’t like the smell I’ve read seaweed is good aswell I use it every watering and since starting it all my plants have grown like weeds I’ve been looking into foliage pro as many people with philodendrons like it but haven’t made the switch as I like the results I’m getting

Don’t mind the smell. On my list. Thanks!
