(Beginner here) I just got the Arber organic liquid plant food and bio insecticide and was wondering, if at all, how often and how much should I use. I have a fern, Stromanthe, Echeveria, Venus flytrap, ghost plant, 2 Christmas cacti and a spider plant. Do any of these not like fertilizer or have any specific things they need. Thx!

a good rule of thumb for most plants is fertilize once a month or so, but succulents and carnivores are an exception. im not incredibly familiar with the other plants you listed, but i do know echeverias and christmas cactus do not need any fertilizing, if any then very sparingly. venus flytraps absolutely do not want to be fertilized, and they require nutrient-deprived substrate and mineral-free water. they get all their nutrients from the bugs they eat :)
