Review: My orchids are happy - A few days after I applied this, I started seeing multiple bloom spikes! Great product and will definitely be buying more.
Review: Excellent fertilizer for my Bonsais - I use this for 4 out of my 5 Bonsai plants. It gets used on 3 Willow Leaf Ficus trees and a Dwarf Kingsville Boxwood. The only tree I don't use it on is my Bougainvillea, as it prefers a different ratio of NPK due to it being a flowering plant, unlike my other four. This fertilizer helps to show marked growth on all of my plants, despite being used on Bonsai plants which are in tiny pots. One larger indoor Ficus in particular has been growing like mad. Granted, it has about 100W of LED lighting on it, but without nutrition it wouldn't grow anywhere near how it's growing. I use an inorganic substrate of lava rock, pumice, and akadama (a fired clay rock.) Since there's no nutrients in there, this fertilizer is what is giving my plants food. All of them love it and so do I. The fact that it is a 6 month slow release fertilizer makes it just that much better! Highly recommended!
