Know before you buy
The 0-45-0 ratio indicates that this fertilizer contains 0% nitrogen, 45% phosphorus, and 0% potassium. It is specifically designed to provide a concentrated boost of phosphorus to support root growth and flower or fruit production rather than leafy green growth.
No, Espoma Triple Phosphate is a mineral-based granular fertilizer and is not water-soluble. It is intended to be applied directly to the soil where it will break down gradually to provide nutrients to the root zone.
This product is best used during critical growth phases, such as when you are first planting or when your vegetables and flowers are beginning to develop buds. It is particularly effective for establishing new root systems or encouraging a heavier harvest.
It is formulated for a wide range of plants, including vegetables, flowers, trees, and shrubs. However, because it is a phosphorus-heavy supplement, it should be used to address specific needs for root development or blooming rather than as an all-purpose, everyday fertilizer.
For optimal results, apply the granules evenly around the base of your plants, ensuring you work them into the top layer of the soil. This helps the nutrients reach the root zone more effectively since the product is not water-soluble.
