    I haven’t used that brand, but it looks good! Liquid fertilizers that get mixed with water are my favorite kind. The bottle says to add to every watering, but I feel that should depend on your plants. It’s okay for fast growers, but slow growers won’t want something as strong as 10-15-10 that often. Plants like succulents, cactuses, and air plants are amongst the ones that’ll want it more dilute and less often. Carnivorous plants should not be fertilized at all, as far as I’m aware

    I haven't used that brand, but it has 4.8 stars with over 2K reviews on Amazon, so I'd say it's working for a lot of people. I usually fertilize my non-succulents once every other month and my succulents every third month. I dilute my ferts down 50% (eg if directions say 2tbs for 1 quart, I would instead put 2tbs in 2 quarts). I also think it's important to note that your plant setup should have an effect on how you fertilize. If you use grow lights that are on for the same length of time all year, you won't really have a dormant cycle and can fertilize all year round. If your plants are outside or depend on natural sunlight, you shouldn't fertilize during the dormant period because the plants aren't growing and don't require all those nutrients

    That's my go-to. Inexpensive and works fine. If you want to get fancy, they also make one for cactus and one for African violets. I just use that one for everything though. I get it on Amazon.

    I had used it for years with very good results. I switched recently but don’t like my replacement as much.

    Yessssssssss!! I don’t use any other kind of food for my plants. My plants are VERY happy with it. I also use Shultz’s Cactus drops for my cacti and succulents. Highly recommend!
