Any gardener should make sure their ferns, succulents, and sansevierias get plenty of sunlight and just the right amount of water. This care will keep plants alive, but if you really want them to thrive you could consider fertiliser.

Why plants want fertilisers?

All of the nutrients essential to plant growth exist in the soil or are floating in the atmosphere, so what is the point of fertilising?

The purpose is that not all plants may access the nutrients within the dirt or in the air. Each soil type has its own mix of ingredients, so we need to consider the soil where a plant is growing, before contemplating what fertilisers a plant may require. Activities like construction intensive farming and traffic can alter soil structure and chemistry, restricting the nutrients that plants can utilise. In some cases, the nutrients are not naturally have been leached out with time or there to start with. For these reasons we, the diggers of this dirt and keepers of the lawn, must replenish, replace, or help release those elements which are beyond the range of our garden plants.

You must know, that using more and more fertilisers should not be your aim. Too much fertiliser can harm and kill your plants. It's a good idea to have your soil analysed so you can pick formulation and the kind that is suitable for your plants' needs. utilising the best possible garden fertilisers will help our crop reward us with larger flowers, larger leaves, bigger fruits and vegetables.

How to Pick a garden fertiliser?

There are two types of fertilisers available to any home gardener: water soluble and granular.

Granular fertilisers deliver food into a plant but have the advantage of longevity.

Since they have to be broken down by water prior to a plant can use them, granular fertilisers do not leach out of the soil as rapidly as water-soluble types.

Whereas water soluble fertilisers are quick in action but uncontrollable.

The two types of fertilisers are powerful, so the one that you select depends upon if you would like to give your plants a speedy but regular fix or a slow but extended feeding. And for all those of us gardeners who are so lazy, nothing beats time-release granular fertilisers, some of which require just one application every six to nine months.

When to fertilise your plants?

Understanding when to fertilise is as important as using the right fertiliser. If you don't use the garden fertiliser in a time once the plant can utilise it, there is no use in fertilising.

If fed with a granular fertiliser in early spring most perennials, annuals, vegetables, and lawns will reward you. Avoid fertilising prior to the spring showers, however, because the nutrients will just leach from the ground or you will be throwing your money away. Annuals prefer to be fed with an additional three to four times throughout the growing season using a high-phosphorus, water-soluble fertiliser, while lawns benefit from a granular application in early fall.

Trees and shrubs, especially those who flower, also like a dose of a balanced granular fertiliser in the spring and another in the fall. But remember to heed the term "light and late" when fertilising trees and shrubs in the fall. Late fall is a fantastic time particularly if you're planting them for the very first time.

Tips for fertilising Roses Roses have insatiable appetites. To keep them happy and fat, nourish them with a soluble fertiliser daily during their blooming season. "Weekly, weakly" is your feeding mantra for all roses.

One final thought: Feed only well-established plants; fertilising seeds or seedlings will lead to fertiliser burn.
