It's really a personal choice. Do you want to go organic or do you prefer chemical fertilizers? Organics are milder and you can't really go wrong with them but if a plant is a heavy feeder you either have to feed more often or use something with a stronger concentration. There's always three numbers on the package. This is the guaranteed analysis. The first number is nitrogen the second is phosphorus in the third is potassium. Nitrogen supports leaf growth, phosphorus encourages flowering, and potassium strengthens roots. That's very simplified but basically that's what it is. If you don't know specifically what your plants need a good start is an all-purpose fertilizer like 12-12-12. Sometimes it's good to dilute this all-purpose fertilizer to half strength and some plants need little or no fertilizer in the winter.

For liquid.. I like Foxfarm, super thrive both liquids. I also like Instant Plant food, it's a tablet, like an alka seltzer you put in your watering can.
