Fertilizer supplements are substances that enhance the effectiveness of fertilizers by addressing nutrient deficiencies in soil or plants. These plant and lawn supplements are usually used in conjunction with fertilizers to improve the texture of the soil and add additional nutrients and growth benefits to plants. Supplements offer nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, which plants may need in smaller amounts but are still crucial for optimal growth.

When to Apply Fertilizer Supplements
Using fertilizer supplements thoughtfully can greatly benefit your plants and soil, especially when tailored to specific needs. Consider using supplements and probiotics for plants when soil tests reveal nutrient deficiencies, or if plants show signs of deficiency symptoms, like yellowing leaves or rot. If you plan to garden intensively for high-yield crops, prepare for the plants to rapidly deplete the soil. Fertilizer supplements can help replenish secondary and micronutrients more effectively in such systems.
Fertilizer Supplement FAQs
Do indoor plants need fertilizer supplements?
Indoor plants can still benefit from supplements, especially since potting soils can deplete over time. Supplements like calcium and magnesium or trace minerals can enhance indoor plant health when applied appropriately.
How do I know which supplement my plants need?
A soil test is the best way to determine which nutrients are lacking in your soil. With a soil testing kit, you can compare your soil’s pH to normal ranges. Observing your plants can also provide clues: stunted growth, chlorosis (yellowing leaves), or poor fruiting can indicate specific nutrient deficiencies.
Is it possible to overuse fertilizer supplements?
Overusing supplements can lead to nutrient imbalances or toxicities, which may harm plant growth. Always follow recommended application rates for fertilizer supplements and only apply as needed.
