Any tips for fertilizers I should get? I want to start fertilizing my plants but everything I see always recommends something different so it’s hard to pinpoint what I should get. I mainly want some to give my plants the extra nutrients they need and some for helping with propagating

This is what I use. Every 2 weeks. Once a month in winter.

I also have good luck with Schultz brand. I have the all-purpose, cacti \& succulent, and African Violet formulas. 😊

I haven’t found the succulent cactus I’m looking.

I love liquid dirt. He has a YouTube and has this amazing way to kill all bugs. It’s easy and really works! Using tea tree and peppermint castor oil, peroxide and alcohol. U spray everything and kills most bugs repeat in a week now I do once a month. It’s sooo much easier. So I’m trying to spread the word 😂

I use DynaGro (now owned by Super Thrive) Foliage. It’s a 9-3-6 so it focuses on foliage instead of blooms.
