# I finally upgraded to the premium version of the Planta app so now it…

_Posted by Sarah on 2025-01-01_

I finally upgraded to the premium version of the Planta app so now it shows when I need to clean, fertilize, etc my plants. I really haven’t ever fertilized them short of basic miracle grow a couple years ago. This pic is what Planta recommends for fertilizer. Anyone have suggestions for brands that fit this criteria? I’m very unfamiliar with this. I do prefer organic when possible.

Fox farm, maxsea, instant plant food, Schultz, superthrive are a few good options. If you really want to dive in the fertilizer will changed based on what the plants growth is, if its blooming or foliage. With less needs in the winter. You can also look into worm castings and manure for fertilizers, they aren't generally fully balanced though, so you'll have to check the manufacture

I use liquid dirt for all my plants except orchids and platycerium.

Thank you for the replies. I’m needing one for my tropical plants (Pothos, philodendrons, peace lily).
