800ml Multi Purpose Plant Food & Fertilisers

What is the Best Food for Plants?

If you want happy & healthy plants, using a plant food will help them to grow strong stems, luscious leaves, and fabulous flowers. If you have plants in pots & planters, the use of plant feed will make sure that your crops are getting the nutrients they need which are more readily-available in the ground.

An all-purpose slow release plant fertiliser is a good all-rounder when it comes to feeding your garden, but certain plants such as roses and tomatoes, as well as indoor plants like orchids, have plant food which is balanced for their particular needs.

Does Plant Fertiliser Work?

Plant fertiliser restores nutrients to the soil which plants can feed from. As well as improving the health of your plants, plant food can help with the health and balance of your soil too, so it’s a win-win! Many plant feeds include minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium which restores balance and are vital for plants to grow, though you may find other micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, and iron which give it a helping hand.

It's important to follow the package instructions on your plant food to make sure you get the best out of it. With concentrated formulas, one bottle of plant food can be used for many applications which is great value for money! You usually dilute an amount in water and either use your trusty watering can or a garden sprayer to apply evenly at the base of your plants. For grassy areas, our range of lawn feed is specifically designed for green & luscious lawns!

FAQs

Do indoor plants need plant food?

As plants grow, they absorb all the nutrients in the potting soil, eventually depleting its resources. Since indoor plants don't have the natural recycling process in outdoor environments, they must be fed.

What happens if you don't feed houseplants?

Skipping on feeding your plants means they won’t be as beautiful as before. You’ll start seeing pale yellow leaves instead of the usual green, vibrant ones.

Can I put fertiliser on top of soil?

Putting fertiliser on top of soil means a regular supply of food for them as the fertiliser gently seeps into the soil, giving a nutrient-packed dose over time.

How often should you fertilise your potted plants?

It depends on the type of fertiliser. Some are meant for applying every two weeks or at least once every few months. Check the fertiliser’s label for exact instructions.
