General Self-Watering Tips

  • Do Not Overfill: Always let the reservoir empty before refilling to prevent root rot.
  • Check Water Levels Regularly: Usually every 1–2 weeks, depending on the plant type.
  • Adjust Seasonally: Reduce watering in winter; plants need less water.

🌿 What is Fertilizer?

Fertilizer is a natural or synthetic substance added to soil or plants to provide essential nutrients that support healthy growth, strong roots, vibrant leaves, and abundant flowers or fruits.

Key Nutrients in Fertilizers:

  • Nitrogen (N): Promotes leaf and stem growth, essential for photosynthesis
  • Phosphorus (P): Boosts root development, flowering, and fruiting
  • Potassium (K): Enhances overall plant health, disease resistance, and water regulation
  • Other nutrients: Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, and trace elements like Iron, Zinc, Copper, Molybdenum, Boron

Types of Fertilizers

1. Organic Fertilizers: Derived from natural sources

    • Compost, manure, bone meal, fish emulsion

2. Synthetic Fertilizers: Chemically produced

    • Granular fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, slow-release fertilizers

Fertilizer Forms

  • Granular: Dry pellets applied to soil surface or mixed in
  • Liquid: Concentrated solution diluted with water and applied to soil or leaves
  • Slow-release: Nutrients release gradually over time for less frequent application

Application Tips

  • Follow Instructions: Use recommended quantity; over-fertilizing can harm plants
  • Timing: Apply during active growth, not during dormancy
  • Method: Distribute evenly; water after granular application to allow nutrients to reach roots

✅ Using the right type and amount of fertilizer ensures your plants grow healthy, strong, and productive.
