Introduction

You know that it’s fun to garden, but did you know it’s also fun to find out what type of fertilizer your plants need? Once you have that information, you’ll feel like a pro. So are you ready? Let’s get started!

Do all plants need fertilizer?

A lot of people wonder if their plants need fertilizer. The answer is yes! You may be hearing a lot about fertilizer for your indoor and outdoor plants, but what does this mean? Nutrients are incorporated into soil to ensure that the plant has an adequate supply of nutrients to thrive. Fertilizers provide essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium which are used by the plant’s roots to grow leaves and flowers.

Plant food is different than fertilizer because it is made specifically for one type of plant (or group of plants) whereas fertilizers can be used on many types of plants with varying needs

How do you know they need fertilizer?

The best way to know if your plant needs fertilizer is by observing its growth. If you notice that your plants are looking unhealthy, they probably need more organic fertilizers.

In addition to being unhealthy, some plants will stop growing altogether if they do not receive enough nutrients. This is especially true of young plants who are still developing their root systems and cannot get what they need from the soil alone.

If this happens with a mature plant, it could mean that there is something wrong with the soil or that it has become depleted over time.

What type of organic fertilizer do they need?

Organic fertilizers are made from natural sources and are safe for the environment. They are also better for your plants, you, the people who grow your food and the environment. They contain minerals that plants need in order to thrive.

The three main types of organic fertilizer are:

• Animal manures – manure can be used as a top dressing or mixed into soil before planting. It’s one of our most popular fertilizers because it’s cheap and easy to apply!
• Blood meal – blood meal is a byproduct of meat production that contains nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (N-P-K). It’s often used as an ingredient in commercial fertilizer blends but we’d recommend mixing it with other organic materials like compostable straw or sawdust first so it doesn’t burn leaves on hot days or scorch roots when temperatures rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius). Blood meal is not recommended for use during rainy weather because rainwater will dilute nutrients contained within it causing them not being absorbed by plant roots effectively enough.”

How often and how much should you fertilize?

How often and how much should you fertilize?

The frequency of fertilizer application, as well as the amount of fertilizer to use, depends on the type of plant and the type of fertilizer. Most plants need more than one type of fertilizer at different times in their lives. Many types of plants need to be fertilized several times during a single growing season, with some needing multiple applications each month! Some types of organic fertilizers also require special care in order for them to work properly (more on this below).

You want to keep your plants happy and healthy.

The best way to know what your plants need is by watching them. If you notice that they’re not growing as fast or producing as many fruits, you might be giving them too much of the wrong kind of fertilizer. On the other hand, if you see that they’re getting sick frequently and having trouble producing fruit, then it’s likely that they aren’t getting enough nutrients in their diet.

You want to keep your plants happy and healthy so that they can grow into strong and productive adults who will provide fruit for years to come!

Conclusion

Do your plants need more organic fertilizer? They might. To find out, ask yourself some questions about your plants: Do they have yellow leaves? Do they stop blooming as much in the winter? Are you a new gardener who has just planted seeds or seedlings and don’t know what to expect? If so, it’s probably time for some organic fertilizer
