Hi all. Kind of a beginner here but obsession is growing fast. Alarmingly fast lol. I noticed planta sends out reminders about fertilizing. I purchased a liquid fertilizer but haven’t used it yet. Should you really do it every time the app says? Should I dilute it and mix with water sporadically during its normal watering cycle from spring-summer only? Are there certain types of plants you’ve found shouldn’t be fertilized that it says to? With the watering schedule I check soil first and then use my own discretion and do well with that part, but the fertilizer part I’m new to. Any tips? Please and thank you from a beginner.

I follow the directions and suggested use on the fertilizer bottle. 🤷🏼‍♀️I’m fairly new to all this as well. But so far no problems. Good luck!

I follow the fertilizer prompts. Just have to make sure you use the right fertilizer, some plants like a milder fertilizer.

Follow the fertilizer directions and then change to custom if the directions don’t line up with the app.

If you want to really simplify your routine you can water with a diluted organic fertilizer (like Liquidirt) with every watering, that way you don’t have to keep a fertilizing schedule at all :)

Also make sure you google/search engine all your plants and make sure they can take fertilizer. I have a Venus fly trap, and those can’t be fertilized (the minerals in the fertile can kill it) but when logging the plant into Planta it said to fertilize it. I’ve been told Planta is still working out kinks like that. Just make sure you research your plants a little bit! Some plants also need filtered/bottled water when watering (not tap water), because the minerals/chlorine will harm it, and Planta doesn’t tell you this either

I was going to say just this!! And make a quick note either in the app or elsewhere after your Googling, for future convenience. 😄

I have been googling a lot to line up info on planta and I use all filtered water, but this fertilizer stuff can be a lot when I don’t want to ruin anything when they’re all doing so good. I’ll check google for this too then to make sure it’s accurate info. Thank you for the tips, all makes sense!

We use miracle gro, one tsp per gallon per directions and I usually follow Planta's suggestions, but if I'm in doubt I double check online.
