What is the best food for plants?
If in doubt, an all-purpose plant food or fertiliser is designed to provide essential nutrients to a wide array of flora and foliage. Our range also includes a variety of specialist fertilisers that have been formulated for use on specific plants, from houseplants to roses. Fertiliser also available in liquid, water-soluble or granule form, so take this into consideration when choosing the best fit for your garden. Some compost formulas also contain pre-mixed plant food, which is an easy and time-saving option.
Does plant food help?
Plant food and fertiliser deliver a healthy dose of important nutrients to plants - think of them as a kind of plant multi-vitamin! Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are usually key ingredients in any plant food or fertiliser. Each of these elements are key to the process of photosynthesis, helping plants to grow, produce fruit and flowers, and fight off disease. Plants are incredibly impressive organisms, able to produce their own food. However, a specialist plant food gives a helping hand and is especially important in areas with drainage issues or low-nutrient soil. To give your plants the best chance, use fertiliser in combination with weed killer and a regular watering routine.
When should I feed my potted plants?
It's always a good idea to check with your supplier, but generally speaking you should start to feed potted plants in the spring as this is when they start to wake up after an inactive growth period over the cooler months. Feed fortnightly, moving to every week when you begin to notice rapid and regular growth. Liquid feeds are often best for potted plants, as it is easier to control the dosage and concentration.
