Know before you buy
Yes, this formula is versatile and safe for use on a wide range of plants, including vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and indoor houseplants.
When used according to the label directions, this product is designed not to burn your plants. However, always follow the recommended application rates to ensure the best results.
This is a continuous-release fertilizer, so you only need to apply it once every three months to keep your plants nourished.
It does both. The formula contains natural ingredients like kelp and earthworm castings that feed soil microbes, which in turn break down nutrients to support root development and plant growth.
No, this is a granular, continuous-release fertilizer. It is designed to be shaken onto the soil surface rather than dissolved in a watering can.
