I’m going to be getting fertilizer for my plants but I have a wide variety of plants. From cactus to monsteras, ivy and philodendrons. What fertilizers are the best to use. Forgive me for being new to plants. Just want the best for all my plants. Thanks in advance!

i’m a big fan of joyful dirt, it’s a powder you mix with water or sprinkle directly on top of the soil. i use it at quarter strength, mixed with water until it’s a green tea sort of color (light brown). i have both the succulent and houseplant fertilizers and they work great and last for years. so worth the price

This is my favorite. I use it for every plant. It’s liquid so you can just add it to the watering can. It’s relatively low nutrients but you can double or triple the dose for heavy feeders. It’s plant-derived so it won’t burn the roots like when you overdose with chemical fertilizers. It doesn’t have fish or other animal-derived ingredients so I doesn’t stink or attract pets to dig in your plants. It might be a large quantity for someone with a small collection, but it sounds like if you have a wide variety so you probably have a decent number of plants
