Customer

Put it on my heirloom tomato starts after transplanting root riot starters into 3" pots with Baccto Pro potting soil. They literally jumped out of the soil and continue to exceed expectations. I have to plant 2 weeks early as they are getting too large. New customer for life!!

Got just what I ordered in a quick manner Great job

So far my anthurium seems to be doing better with the fertilizer.

I am only using it once a month instead of every other time I water. The plant seems to be responding well.

Nice, glad your anthurium has been responding well so far. I know they can be finicky

Good food for the succulents as well

I used for my Desert Roses but also certain succulents they liked it ...

Totally… desert roses actually are succulents so this formula will be good on most other succulents :)

Good product

It seems to be working well with my snake plants. The bottle should last a very long time as well.

8oz is all you really need unless you're running some sort of snake plant farm operation!

A month of use with noticeably stronger leaves

I know that this ratio is primarily meant for flowering anthuriums, but I diluted and used for my beautiful foliage ladies, I've been incredibly happy with the results. New growth on 5 of them (in the winter/dead months!), and strong happy leaves overall. I use half of the recommended amount for these plants, so the bottle will last me a very long time. Reasonably priced as well, would definitely recommend!

Glad it's working well for your anthuriums! We are ALWAYS looking to provide great value with our products so love to hear that you feel like it's reasonably priced too

So far so good

I will update this at a later time but so far my three snake plants seem happy

Keep us updated Jamie!

Seems effective and no bad smell

No bad smell and seems to work well though my wife hasn't used it for an entire growing season.

Well, we don't really advertise our products based on smell…. But there are some pretty stinky fertilizers out there. Let us know how things are going once you've used a little longer.

Resurrected My Old Tomato Plants

I have a couple of everglades tomato plants that I planted over a year ago. Needless to say, they were looking pretty ragged and close to death. I gave this Farmer's Secret Tomato Booster a try on them. I applied it once a week per the instructions. I am happy to say it resurrected these old plants. A bunch of new, verdant growth sprouted up and the plants are now producing tomatoes again.

Back from the dead! Zombie tomato plants!!

I expect it to work as advertised -

I expect it to work as advertised - but the recommended amount to use at one time seems microscopic

Keep us updated John… All of our products are basically as concentrated as we can make them. We don't want to waste your money shipping water :)

For flowering and root growth

Product: Farmer's Secret Anthurium Liquid Plant Food Fertilizer (8oz) - Super Concentrated - Promotes Growth and Flowering - 4:15:12 RatioI like using liquid plant fertilizer as it's very easy to add to the watering can every so often. The Nitrogen:Phosphorus:K (potassium) ratio of 4:15:12 promotes root growth and flowering (for what it's worth, this NPK ratio is also pretty good for vegetables and tomatoes). Most non-flowering houseplants, on the other hand, would need a bit more nitrogen, so it's best to look up the need of your specific anthurium before using the fertilizer, as there are plenty of anthuriums that are more known for their foliage instead of the flower. The fertilizer is pretty concentrated, and I also suggest diluting the concentrate more than the recommended amount to ensure that you don't accidentally burn the roots, and fertilizer infrequently to prevent salt buildup. With the dilutions, this bottle should last a pretty long time. When it is doubt, dilute it down more. The additional iron and zinc are also great micronutrients for plants to prevent stunted growth. If you happen to have variegated anthuriums, I would suggest adding some additional CalMg to prolong the white variegation as this fertilizer does not contain calcium or magnesium. On a side note, this fertilizer also seems to be the same as another product (Indoor & Outdoor Plant Booster) from the same brand but repackaged with an Anthurium label. That product seems to be cheaper, so maybe get that instead of this?

Thanks for the detailed write up PlantOwl, agreed that it's best to start conservatively with dilution and see how your specific plant reacts. The Indoor & Outdoor Plant Booster is indeed the same formula but we are discontinuing that product. Should be the same price though generally unless we are running out of stock on a product.

Good stuff

My pothos plants love this stuff.

Great to hear!

Mild fertilizer

This is a well balanced formula good for regular application to your tomato plants. If you use it regularly you should get an all around healthy plant with plenty of flavorful tomatoes. It's mild enough for weekly or biweekly use with little risk of "burning" your plants with too much fertilizer.

Thanks Curious…. But we are curious, how have things turned out for you? We need an update!

A Good Fertilizer

We have one calathea. I think it hates us. We are trying to bribe it into liking us by giving it this food. So far, we don't see huge improvements, but it also hasn't died yet.I do appreciate that this is super concentrated so it should last us a long time. Especially since we aren't having the best of luck with this calathea. We may not get another one!

I know from experience calatheas can be tough. Hope this formula helps keep you in the calathea game.

Good ratios for setting fruit!

Tomatoes are some seriously heavy feeders & I can't wait to try this out on them this year. The instructions are clear and it is very concentrated. I like that there's not so much nitrogen that it will encourage more leaf growth than flowering/fruiting. This should also work really well on other plants in the tomato family such as potatoes, eggplants, tomatillos & ground cherries. This product does not have an OMRI seal so if you are looking to produce an organic certified garden this would not comply. At 2tsp per gallon this is a great value product!

Thanks for the comment on our instructions. We put a lot of effort in to making our instructions very clear and easy to follow so glad that you found that to be the case

My plants are happy!

We have three anthurium plants, and had been looking for a way to make them happier and healthier. Two of the three flower regularly, but the third has not been producing flowers, so we were looking for a fertilizer to see if it would help.We have been using this fertilizer for about a month and are pleased with the results so far. I, unfortunately, did not take any before pictures, but you can see from the pictures I took today that the leaves look healthy on all three plants.Anthuriums do not need much water (we typically just water with ice cubes once a week). The fertilizer says to use it every other watering, so that's what we have done. It is super concentrated so you don't need much. For smaller plants, you just need a tsp of fertilizer added to your water. This container should last a very long time.So far, we are very pleased with this product and will continue to use it.

Amazing! Glad it's worked out so well for you and your plants

Pothos Plant Food 8oz

My pathos LOVES it

I was worried that this might hurt my plant or send it into shock, but it did not! I went against the instructions. I used a tsp with a half gallon of water, and my pathos is flourishing. I will definitely buy this again.

Wooohooo… glad you'll be a repeat customer but hopefully that bottle lasts you quite a while before you have to buy another!

An incredible replacement & modern upgrade to traditional, bulky fertilizer -- concentrated formula

This liquid fertilizer has been a fantastic addition to my gardening toolkit. Its super-concentrated formula means that a small amount goes a long way, making the product both economical and effective. A major highlight is how much less space it occupies when being stored compared to traditional fertilizers, freeing up valuable space in the shed. I can't quite tell how much of an impact it's made on my fruit trees as of yet, but with the phosphorus-rich nutrients it provides, they're destined to thrive over time with consistent use. Overall, a solid option for anyone looking to boost their fruit tree health without the hassle of handling and storing bulky fertilizers.

Thanks for the write up, please keep us updated on how it performs as we get farther into spring!

Anthurium Plant Food 8oz

It works!

This plant food for my anthurium has really helped my plant to thrive. A few weeks ago, this plant was a little spout and now it's greener and growing so nicely. It hasn't produced a flower yet but it's early. I just use a small amount via a syringe. Don't put too much, a little goes a long way. Trust me, I learned the hard way. I would recommend this!

Yay! All you need is a tiny amount to give a plant what it needs. Glad it's worked out for you

Great Fertilizer

Trees are doing great after a few weeks of treatment. Highly recommend!

Thanks for sharing your opinion :)

Time will tell, but hopefully this will be a good boost for my peaches!

I did not get many peaches this last year, so I am eager to see if this makes a difference for me. I like that it's super concentrated, and you can get a lot of doses out of it - very cost effective. I also like that it takes up way less space than granular fertilizer, plus it's easy to carry and store. Made in america, so that's another positive. The bottle does provide instructions on how to apply and how to mix which is important.

Lots of positives! Good luck with the peaches, let us know how the season goes

Quick Results

I've quickly seen dynamic results in my radishes and carrots after only one use. Previously, my pot-planted radishes were only producing leaves. I pulled the leaves and planted a new set of radish seeds in the same soil. The only difference was I used this a small amount of this fertilizer during the first watering. It didn't take long at all for me to see few leaves and many radish bulbs! Also, I didn't have any carrots growing after a long time of being planted. After one watering with this fertilizer and one non-fertilized watering, I've been seeing carrots pop out from under the soil!

Saaaweeeet. You're going to get your vegetables in this year

DIdn't kill my rattle snake plant!

I'll update this review after two months of fertilization to provide additional information on the health of my plant (rattle snake plant, Goeppertia insignis). So far, after two weeks of fertilization, I can only say that the fertilizer has not visibly harmed my plant. There are no signs of new growth or other improvements in health. Calathea are sensitive plants so I am very hopeful that this fertilizer will prove effective.

Well no visible harm is a good start, keep us posted
