What is the difference between plant food and fertilizer?? I give plant food in every watery so so I need to fertilize?? I’m a new plant mom with over a 100 plants.

You are kicking ass! If you could, define plant food for me? What’s in it? Likely your plants are getting some of what’s needed from the “Plant Food”, or maybe all of of it..unsure.

Hi there, plant food and fertiliser should be the same thing. So if you are giving a small amount with every watering, I would turn off the fertiliser task and keep going as is. There are some products that are advertised as “plant vitamins”. These are additives rather than fertiliser as they don’t have the range and amounts of elements plants require for growth. If you are not sure what you are giving, check the bottle and the NPK ratios on it and compare to products that are clearly labelled as fertiliser. I like to give a smaller than recommended amount of fertiliser with every watering as well, so as not to overdo the fertiliser 🌿🌿🌿
