Your plant food questions worth knowing
Q: What is the difference between plant food and fertilizer?
A: Same thing. Plant food is just a friendlier way to say fertilizer. Both deliver essential plant nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to help your plants grow.
Q: How do I choose the right NPK ratio for my garden?
A: Match the ratio to your plant. Veggies and flowers need more phosphorus and potassium for fruits and blooms. Trees and shrubs rely more heavily on nitrogen for leafy growth and rooting. Most plant foods are already dialed in by plant type, so you can skip the math.
Q: Liquid vs. granular plant food: which should I use and when?
A: Liquid plant food absorbs fast and works great mid-season or for quick feeding. Granular nutrients get worked into the soil at planting and release slowly over weeks. Both do the job. Pick based on timing and whether you'd rather spray or sprinkle in.
Q: Is plant food safe for kids, pets, and pollinators?
A: Sunday plant foods are safe for pets and kids when used as directed. When selecting nutrients for your garden, look for formulas that skip harsh synthetic chemicals. Organic amendments and OMRI-listed options give extra peace of mind.
Q: How often should I feed my plants throughout the year?
A: Feed your plants every 4–6 weeks during the growing season keeps most gardens happy. Always check that plants are healthy and not stressed before feeding. Peep the label on your specific product for timing, since some formulas last longer than others.
Q: Do I need a soil test to pick the best plant food for my yard?
A: You don't need one to get started, but it helps. A garden soil test reveals what's missing so you can feed smarter, not harder. Plus, the data helps our expert Yard Advisors personalize your plant care over time.
