# Is organic 1-1-1 fertilizer safe for all kinds of plants? I know…

_Posted by Heather on 2023-04-12_

Is organic 1-1-1 fertilizer safe for all kinds of plants? I know there are special/specific fertilizers for tomatoes, tropical, succulent, fruit trees, etc — but if I just use 1-1-1 across the board, is that going to hurt anyone?

Totally safe! A fertilizer with higher N, lower P, and intermediate K like a 5-1-2 or a 9-3-6 might be more beneficial, but if your plants don’t have any specific needs then a balanced fertilizer should be just fine :)
