Which fertilizers can I use for Gardenia, Anthrium, and Chillis?

Each of these plants has different nutritional needs, so choosing the right fertilizer is important:

  • Gardenia: Gardenias prefer acidic soil. Use an acid-loving plant fertilizer with a balanced NPK ratio like 10-10-10 or 14-14-14, or one with extra iron and magnesium. Apply during the growing season for best blooms.
  • Anthurium: These tropical plants thrive on low-nitrogen fertilizers. Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer like 20-20-20, diluted to half strength, every 4–6 weeks. Slow-release fertilizers also work well.
  • Chillis (Chili Peppers): Chillis need more phosphorus and potassium once they start flowering. Use a vegetable fertilizer like 5-10-10 or 3-5-7 to promote fruiting. Avoid too much nitrogen—it will encourage leafy growth over fruits.

For best results, always water the plant before applying fertilizer, and don’t overfeed.
