Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and potassium are the key nutrients for plant growth and health.
- Nitrogen helps plants grow above ground and promotes the growth of green foliage and lush, green lawns.
- Phosphorus allows plants to grow healthy root systems below ground. It also promotes fruit production and flower production.
- Potassium contributes to overall plant health by building strong cells in plant tissue. It strengthens plants to withstand stressors such as heat, cold, diseases, pests, etc.
All fertilizers will have these nutrients in different ratios. It’s important to research your particular plant and choose the right fertilizer based on your plant’s specific needs.
