Please help with fertilizer Alocasia

10 years ago

Hello... I have a nice Alocasia 'Calidora' that I have in a big pot in my home. I had been using a fertilizer with: Nitrogen(N)4.25 %....Phosphate (p20)5.25 %....Potash(K20) 3.0% ..Iron(FE) 2.0 %

I live in Benicia, Ca.... 9b I am writing because the fertilizer I used is no longer available ... what other co. makes a similar fertilizer that I can send for or buy locally

This fertilizer, by the way, is one my plant is in love with, and grows me many leaves because of it. I would appreciate any help anyone is willing to offer.

Thanks,

Roksee

There are a million brands but you could go with Vigoro's tropical plant food for Hibiscus and palms. Go light on indoor plants. Another is EB Stone organic. It puts a nice deep flush on foliage plants.

That plant is really an outdoor plant here in the bay area. If it starts to go downhill in the home..outside would be fine.
