Hi have a variety of plants. Should I use 3-1-2 fertilizer and 20-20-20, 12-36-14, 15-30-15 for the blooming ones. What do y’all use? I’ve never been good with fertilizer.

I have too many plants to deal with specialty fertilizer. I chose a high quality general purpose. I even use it on succulents and semi hydro. The plants seem to be doing fine with it.

Do you use your SuperThrive at full strength?

#### Phil replied on 2026-06-17

Yes. I follow the directions. Many people do cut it in half but I’m trusting the dosage is good. The product has been around for many years.

I agree

Depends what you need to water and what is your medium. Example if you have semi hydro, no organic fertilizer. I personally use Schultz concentrate diluted at every watering. While it is really cheap and basic, it works in all my plants. Buy beyond fertilizer, the most important thing is lighting. Without a good lighting, the plants won't have any use of a fertilizer, even the best one!
