Plants love it!
I have over 300 plants and they ALL love this stuff. I have been using it consistently for years during the growing season, and the plants have an immediate response to it. New leaves and flowers will begin to grow almost immediately. One of my rare Hoya has grown over 20 new leaves this month. Every single plant loves this stuff. It is a natural and organic fertilizer (read: chicken poop) and it smells like it, so you absolutely want to use a bottle or watering can that will NOT inadvertently get mixed with your dish-ware. I’d also recommend mixing this in an area away from all food prep surfaces (I mix mine in the utility sink in the laundry room). You may also want to wear gloves. You really can’t over-fertilize with this mixture, and I add a little to the watering can every time I water. All of my plants are full, lush, and thriving. The first two pics show new leaves on my Hoya Macrophylla and Hoya Mathilde. 10/10 for this stuff. GET IT!

Excellent Succulent Food
I live in the desert and grow a lot of succulents, and this is the ONLY food I use. Exceptional product that really works to grow your succulents strong. You only need a cap full in a gallon of water in the feeding months and watch your plants grow.

Happy plants/ smelly house
I’m sure this fertilizer is good (I’llknow more in a few weeks), but the smell is awful. 🤢 Best used outdoors or when the windows can be open for ventilation.It’s November in the midwest right now, so I’ll start this back up when the weather warms up and the plants can air out. 🙂

Great organic gardening!
This entire product line is worth every penny. Organics keeps us healthy and your plants healthy as well. I have 6 or so different bottles and they last far longer then other organic brands and produce strong, healthy plants.

Happy plants!
I started using this in the spring, and gave it to all my succulents & cacti at least every other watering (sometimes every watering – I just used my instincts), and they grew so well and happily!For those who are curious, it has a 1-2-2 NPK ratio (lower in nitrogen than all-purpose plant food, which is better for leafier plants).My experience:A blue aloe that was worse for the wear after experiencing freeze-burn last winter (it had to get cut back to half its size) is now 1.5x its original size (so 3x its cut-back size!). Additionally, it put out 15 pups!A small but healthy Parryi agave put out 4 pups and continues to grow well ~ they’re very slow growers, but I’ve seen noticeable growth this year.My biggest jade got so big and happy that I had to give it away (no worries, cuz I’m always starting new ones from fallen leaves and stems).My sansevieria grew many inches and is robust & happy.I just mix it with water as per the instructions in a small watering can. Easy.I don’t find the scent troublesome ~ by the time it soaks into the soil, the scent dissipates.I’ve put it away for the year now (it’s November), but will keep it in a cool, dark place and look forward to another boisterous growing season next spring!

Bad bottle design
Thanks to the bottle’s wide top and narrow bottom, I have toppled this over a couple of times. It wouldn’t fall over so easily if 1 I weren’t so clumsy and 2 the bottom were as wide as the top.

True story!
Wow!Okay, first, the bottle got smushed in delivery (Why an envelope? Use a BOX, people!), and the liquid drained into the envelope. It got everywhere. And it’s ORGANIC so it smells like (sorry to be gross) bovine diarrhea. Which, I guess, is part of the formula. BTW: Amazon was great about it all. I got a refund, no questions a— okay, there were questions, but I got a refund.Second. So I was able to rescue about an ounce of the fertilizer which I brought to work. There is a cactus that has been living (barely) in the office for about a decade, a single trunk, leaning at 45°, basically ignored. A few years ago, an officemate watered it and it grew a new (vertical this time) column. Retirees started marking the height of the cactus along with their retirement dates on the wall behind it. One guy extrapolated what the height of the cactus would be in three years for his future retirement and marked it on the wall. A few others did the same. Then I arrived with the fertilizer about five weeks ago and gave the cactus a dose. Only one. Since then, the cactus has added a miraculous 3-4 inches! Fuller and brighter green. It seems now that Mr. Extrapolator will be retiring in just a few months! Or else he’ll have to do some wall painting…In all seriousness, this stuff has rejuvenated that poor cactus. I am really enjoying the saga.

I know nothing about plants, but I have a string of pearls (named fish) and the care advice I found recommended this. One use made a huge difference, fish went from a few little vines to a full, beautiful plant with flowy limbs. Fair warning if you haven’t used something like this before, it smells AWFUL

Smelly for sure ,but great product.

It’s smells like someone pooped in a bottle. I also hate the bottle lip design. It doesn’t pour nice to measure it and you don’t want to spill it anywhere. Because it smells like a well used port-a-potty on a hot day. Probably works good.Smell dissipates after awhile but gag worthy while using it.

good for succulents

Je ne sais pas si cela fonctionne, mais cela laisse une mauvaise odeur dans le terreau. J’ai déjà acheté d’autres engrais liquides qui sentaient pas trop bon, mais cela ne perdurait pas dans le terreau.
