In a pot, the soil quickly loses its nutrients: plants depend entirely on what you give them. Choosing the right fertilizer makes the difference between a plant that survives and one that flourishes.
Liquid, granular or slow-release?
- Liquid: diluted in the irrigation water, it acts immediately. Ideal for flowering plants and those in full growth.
- Granular or slow-release tablets: you apply it once and it feeds the plants for weeks or months, such as Osmocote fertilizer for potted plants - KB 110 g. Perfect if you don't want to worry about it.

Yellow leaves with green veins?
It is iron chlorosis, common in acid-loving plants and citrus trees irrigated with hard water: Chelated iron - KB 100 g or Iron chelate - Cifo 100 g will correct it.
In autumn and winter
Most plants slow down their growth: reduce or suspend fertilization and resume in spring. The exception is plants that bloom in winter, such as many orchids.
Golden rules
- Fertilize on already moist soil, never on a thirsty plant.
