Know before you buy
The 5-4-2 ratio indicates the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the fertilizer. This balanced blend provides a steady supply of nutrients to support overall plant health, with a slight emphasis on nitrogen for leafy growth and phosphorus for root and bloom development.
Unlike quick-release synthetic fertilizers, this granular formula breaks down gradually to provide a consistent nutrient supply over time. This prevents nutrient leaching and reduces the risk of burning your plants, ensuring steady, long-term growth.
Yes, Bio-Live 5-4-2 is versatile enough for vegetables, flowers, trees, and shrubs. Because it is a low-odor, granular organic fertilizer, it is suitable for outdoor garden beds and container plants, though it is not water-soluble and should be mixed into the soil.
These microorganisms work symbiotically with plant roots to improve nutrient uptake and water absorption. By fostering a healthy soil microbiome, they help your plants grow more expansive root systems and increase their natural tolerance to environmental stress.
The standard application rate is 5 pounds per 100 square feet. Since the product is granular and not water-soluble, it is best applied by incorporating it directly into the soil or top-dressing around the base of your plants.
To maintain the viability of the beneficial microbes and the integrity of the organic ingredients, store the bag in a cool, dry place between 40°F and 85°F. Keeping the package tightly sealed will help prevent moisture buildup.
