Fertilizers for Specific Ornamental Plants: Orchids, Cacti, Bonsai and More
Quick answer: not all indoor plants are alike on the inside: an orchid, a cactus and a hydrangea have opposite nutritional needs. Fertinagro Vida has a line of liquid fertilizers formulated specifically for each plant family, instead of a generic fertilizer that works "more or less" for all of them.
A cactus needs far less nitrogen than a petunia in full bloom, and a hydrangea needs an acidic pH that most universal fertilizers don't provide. Using a specific fertilizer avoids two common problems: excess nitrogen that softens cacti and succulents, and chlorosis (yellow leaves) in acid-loving plants grown in unsuitable substrate or water.
Complement with a color enhancer
If your hydrangea isn't showing the intense blue or pink you expected, the Natural Color Enhancer is a nutritional corrector designed specifically to intensify the natural color of hydrangeas and other flowering plants.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a universal fertilizer on my orchid?
It will work acceptably, but a fertilizer specific to orchids is formulated to promote new flower spikes and longer-lasting blooms, something a generic fertilizer doesn't prioritize.
Why does my hydrangea have yellow leaves even though I fertilize it regularly?
It's likely iron chlorosis caused by an unsuitable pH: acid-loving plants need a specific fertilizer that keeps the acidic pH their roots need to absorb iron.
How often should I fertilize a cactus?
Much less often than a flowering plant: cacti and succulents have a slow metabolism, and excess fertilizer can soften their tissue. Follow the dose and frequency indicated on the specific fertilizer's label.
