Fertilome (11772) Blooming & Rooting Soluble Plant Food 9-58-8 (3 lbs.)

This works way better than miracle grow! I almost immediately noted difference in my Boston ferns but I have on my porch both in New growth and just healthy appearance. And my flowering plant we're just right behind them my petunias have popped up so many new blooms that it's astonishing. It's a little pricey but well worth it for those of you who enjoy making your garden bloom.

Helped me grow my hanging petunias into huge balls this year! I alternate this with the same brands fertilizer in the green bag. Will definitely use this next summer.

After using Miracle Gro for years, my plants were ecstatic when I switched to this fertilizer. After only a couple applications, I could see bloom and grow like never before. Customer for life!

This stuff is perfect for my blooming plants. I prefer this dry fert over the liquid stuff. I can easily dilute it to any strength I feel like and always makes my tropical plants bloom. I use it on plumeria, hibiscus, lime trees and basically everything. Plants seem happy with the blue water! It might be a small pro but it doesn't smell bad and when you mix 55 gal at a time, smell makes a difference.

Best fertilizer out there for the basics.

Somewhat carless packaging. The zip lock bag was not completely zipped so some of the crystals were in the delivery envelope. Otherwise OK, but I have not used any yet. Lucky me I had my screw top jar from an earlier purchase of the same stuff so I put it all in there. Sometimes those zip locks are challenging to the point of frustration the and screw top jar is pretty much consistently easy which probably tells you more about me than the container.

I've been using this fertilizer for about three years now. It works for most flowering plants but I specifically use it for my hydrangea plant. I heard about it from my local garden center. When used religiously. every two weeks in my case, I get my plant to produce beautiful blooms. It doesn't do well in the high heat of mid summer on top of the bush, but it helps the plant produce blooms on stems around the base of the plant. I have an "Endless Summer" hydrangea that could go blue or pink depending on soil. So far, I've only had pink blooms because I'm too lazy to amend the soil acidity to make them turn blue. We've had our first freeze but days are still in the high 70's or low 80's so it's still blooming in mid-October. I'm not going to fertilize again though, so it can go dormant for winter. I've cut several blooms off for indoor arrangements so it doesn't look like a lot of blooms in the photos, but there were a lot of them throughout the summer.

This is a reasonable low cost water soluble fertilizer. I use these on my fig trees to help encourage fruiting. These are a much more organic option.
