I’m a beginner/intermediate plant owner and I’m now looking to become more educated on fertilizing my plants. I got a succulent fertilizer for my succulent types and was so excited to see them pop off! What’s a good all purpose fertilizer? I have a lot of snake plants, a variety of ficus’s, a few monsteras and some pothos. One of my plant corners below ☺️ EDIT: thank you everyone for all your advice!! ![Adjunto 1 de 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/X7yUQKL4inkTjTQDkwbp9UmcBoTy1yE9l1qYmpcWugA/18FQszIsSjWMEyQOlT4I9w.webp?size=large) ## 15 comentarios ### eatyacarbs comentó el 2024-09-09 I use the succulent fertilizer on my snake plants. I like the organic indoor plant fertilizer from The Grow Co as my general. It stiiiinks out of the bottle, but not in your plants. A little goes a long way and it’s very gentle. You also can’t go wrong with Fox farm. I use the FF Big Blooms on my blooming plants #### Kavivele respondió el 2024-09-09 Thank you! ### Kades comentó el 2024-09-09 Hi! I think a great place to start is a fertilizer with 10-10-10 npk ratio. I use a liquid fertilizer, I just think it’s easier. The snake plants will probably only need to be fertilized a few times a year. your pothos, ficus, and monsteras will be at least once a month during the growing season. I really like the espoma brand, but got the miracle gro most recently (it has a pump) but I don’t love the product. #### Kavivele respondió el 2024-09-09 This is great advice, thank you!! ### Sunny comentó el 2024-09-09 I use standard blue Miracle Gro (MG) for almost all my plants because they are mostly tropical foliage plants. I use the acidic fertilizer for plants that require an acidic soil like conifers, azaleas and camellias. I use the MG orchid fertilizer on my hoyas. I use a top dressing of organic fertilizer like cow manure on my large potted plants that live outside because I rarely repot those. The manure adds nutrients back into the soil. I also use timed release fertilizer in those largest pots. ### ElizabethF comentó el 2024-09-10 I love superthrive from dyna gro. I use a diluted amount every time I water. Mix that in with some silicone as well. #### Planty28 respondió el 2024-09-10 What kind of silicon additive do you use? #### ElizabethF respondió el 2024-09-10 It’s dune silicic acid. It’s a bit expensive but it lasts a while. It’s supposed to bond better than powder silicone. Which you are supposed to wait 20 minutes before adding in any other additives. I think it’s helping my variegated plants last longer. I’m still on my first bottle so it’s hard to say for sure. I’m still fairly new to silicone so I just went with one I saw people praising on YouTube. #### YinDeezy respondió el 2024-09-10 Nice. I have the same routine 👌🏽 #### Bay Area Plant Mom respondió el 2024-09-10 swear by foliage pro! all my favorite plant ladies use it too 🥰 ### DanishGramma comentó el 2024-09-10 I like Schultz cactus because it’s got a dropper in the lid and I only need 7 drops per liter/quart and my cactus and succulents look great 😊 For my tropical plants I am trying out Leafy Lux and its only been a couple weeks but it seems to be doing fine ### PhiloFox comentó el 2024-09-10 wow I wish there was a way to save posts this is helpful! I'm in the same exact spot as you. intermediate plant keeper, pothos, monstera, philos obv, snake plants and ficus are on my wishlist! #### Kavivele respondió el 2024-09-10 Right?? Everyone has been so helpful!! I didn’t realize this part of Planta was accessible to people who don’t pay- I only found out about this yesterday! #### PhiloFox respondió el 2024-09-10 same I've been on here, and Palmstreet, also highly recommend, for like 4 days and I'm ADDICTED. the plant community is so kind! ### Bay Area Plant Mom comentó el 2024-09-10 I swear by foliage pro for all 137 plants and of course silica with every watering between march and nov. my albo cutting pushed out first leaf with fenestrations and I have 6/14 Hoyas blooming as they celebrate their first birthday 😍 calmeg useful, ph up and down down the line when you get really into plants 🙃 --- _La comunidad de Planta (https://getplanta.com).
