# Question on fertilizing: I have Superthrive’s 9-3-6 liquid fertilizer…

Question on fertilizing:

I have Superthrive’s 9-3-6 liquid fertilizer that I use every 4-6 weeks for most plants. I’ve been following the recommended 1/4 teaspoon/gallon dosage for most plants, but then I asked chat and it said I should use about 25 drops per 4 cups??

For the record I haven’t been seeing crazy new growth at all. What do you recommend?

Don’t use ai, it can give wrong information and can kill your plants. Use what is recommended always unless it hurts your plants

Follow the amount the container says but think about which plants you’re using it on. Aroids can tolerate fertilizer a lot more frequently so if you haven’t seen a change in growth speed try fertilizing at normal strength but more often.
