I just started using the app and I don’t really have a green thumb. I have a majestic palm that I need to fertilize. Would love a recommendation from someone on what type to use.  
Thank you.

I just got miracle grow plant food. I was gonna try it. It’s an all purpose. 🤷‍♀️

If you have a compost, use the water from it! Personally I just use leftover tea and coffee and it seems to work just fine. There’s millions of other things you can use to make your own fertiliser tho!
