NPK Fert

[kentosaurs]

Hey everyone.....I wanna find fertilizers which has the NPK value on it and no urea etc etc which can harm neps (what chemicals in ferts which can harm neps??) Would an orchid fertilizer work for neps???? If they do work then where can i find them? Do nurseries in Sg buloh sell them or do you have to look in the supermarts??? O yea for neps which of the NPK should be higher? N/Nitrogen is for greener leaves more chlorophyll so does that mean more pitchers considering pitchers are leaves

Hey guys...I got myself a fert (Yates brand)...Main purpose for it is for my fern and orchid...but just wanna ask you guys if this fert can work for neps too. I never fertilize cause my neps use to wipe out colonies of ants:-)) But now i don't have any ants left in the house and i've observed that my neps overall health is just getting worse and worse...So i wanna start fertilizing my nep. The NPK value states nitrogen (N) 9.0% potassium (P) 2.0% and phosporous (K) 6.0% so its more on foliage growth right? Anyway here are some pictures which shows the fert i bought. They say use 10 ML for every 5litres for plants like orchids and ferns etc etc. I guess i should dilute it by half or 1/4 if i can use it. Some pictures are a little blurrish but i think its readable





What does the 60% w/w mean? the w/w particularly

fish emulsion is good for feeding neps and helis from what a few experts i know said but not by root feeding,but by trap feeding.
that means you pour some in the plant's pitcher.

make sure you dilute with water first!
a spray or two into the pitcher might give a try..dont over feed it
try on a nepenthes that u dont love first to see if anything bad happen.if it boost,give it a try on your beloved Neps.



Thanks

But you only fertilize healthy plants....And i could say the healthiest and hardiest plant i have is a gracilis....I wonder if it'll even realise when its fed Do i only fertilize the pitchers or the leaves also?
