What is the best fertilizer for plants, cactus and aloe plants? I’ve been using Foliage Grow and didn’t realize that was not fertilizer.

I've just been using the shakable cactus/succulent fertilizer from big box stores and they seem to be doing well.

Growth technology and baby bio are my go to brands when it comes to cactus and succulent food if this helps. I think you can find them on Amazon ✨

Do you mean Foliage Pro? I’ve been using that for years. Always thought it was good. I use it on all my plants. Most of which are succulents.

Thank you so much for the advice!
