Planta recommends using a tropical plant fertilizer on a lot of my plants, specifically, one that has less phosphorus than nitrogen or potassium.

I had to do a lot of research and never found one with the recommended ratio. But this one comes close, and since I started using it last month, all the plants pictured here have grown at least one new leaf! My emerald gem, Emmy, has grown five, and my monstera has grown a huge, beautiful one, the first since I’ve brought him home. So happy with the results 😍🌿

I haven’t decided if I’m going to use this on all my plants. I assume they were all originally tropical plants before we started using them as indoor plants.

Have you used other fertilizers in the past? If so, what brought you to this one?
