Know before you buy
Yes, the 20-20-20 NPK ratio is a balanced formula that works well for a wide variety of flowering annuals, patio plants, and general ornamentals.
A soil drench delivers nutrients directly to the root zone for sustained uptake, while a foliar spray allows the plant to absorb nutrients quickly through its leaves, which is helpful for correcting deficiencies or providing a rapid boost.
Because this is a quick-release, water-soluble formula, plants can absorb the nutrients almost immediately. You should notice improved vigor and leaf health shortly after application.
Absolutely. It is specifically designed for hanging baskets and container plants, which often require more frequent feeding because nutrients leach out of the soil more quickly than in garden beds.
Yes, this is a highly concentrated powder that must be dissolved in water according to the package instructions before application to avoid burning your plants.
