Looking for advice from plant lovers with major sensory issues ☺️

Hello! I am looking to give my in-water lucky bamboo, Groot, some fertilizer in hopes of new growth and recovery from a recent depressive and forgetfulness episode. I bought a small bottle of liquid fertilizer and my plan was to only add a very very very small amount.... I opened the packaging and nearly threw up from how overwhelming the smell is.

I know what fertilizer is, I know what it's made of, but if it all smells like THAT then I don't know what to do. I have autism, as does my boyfriend, and we can't do strong smells like that - it sticks to us for days ((I currently have it sitting outside on the porch bc the smell from the closed bottle alone is so offensive)).

I want to be a good plant parent, and this is one of the first plants I've managed to keep for longer than 2 months... It doesn't have to smell like roses but does anyone have any suggestions for fertilizer for an in water plant that doesn't smell like an unalived whale that is covered in poo has been shoved into a 16 ounce bottle?

I use an organic seaweed fertilizer. No smell and organic! You can also use slow release soil fertilizer pellets but I have no experience with those.

I do as well. No smell with synthetic fertilisers. I use GT Foliage Focus
