Flowering Plant Stick Fertilizer

The fertilizer for flowering plants, available in directly plantable sticks, provides essential elements such as nitrogen, necessary for the growth and optimal development of indoor plants cultivated for their beautiful flowering. The sticks can be used for flower boxes, containers, and pots with or without water reservoirs. As you water the plants over several weeks, the sticks gradually release nutrients that can be directly assimilated by the roots.

This mineral fertilizer has an NPK formulation of 10-8-12 + 3 MgO, which means it contains:

- 10% nitrogen (N) in total, including 4% ammoniacal nitrogen and 3.2% nitric nitrogen, which can be directly assimilated by the plants, and 2.8% organic synthesis nitrogen (urea formaldehyde) that is released more gradually. This element contributes to the development of non-reproductive aerial parts of the plant, especially the leaves and stems.

- 8% phosphorus (P) in total, in the form of phosphoric anhydride (P2O5), which can be directly assimilated by the roots. This element strengthens plant resistance and contributes to root development.

- 12% potassium (K) in the form of water-soluble potassium oxide (K2O), which can be directly assimilated by the roots. This element plays an essential role in root formation, flowering, and fruit development. It is indispensable for life as it directly participates in cell formation and growth. Activating more than 80 enzymatic systems, it promotes sap circulation and facilitates the transfer of sugars and proteins to roots and organs such as seeds, fruits, and tubers. A well-rooted plant will better withstand drought and environmental stress.

- 3% Magnesium Oxide (MgO), also known as magnesia, which promotes the assimilation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulphur. This element also intensifies the colour of flowers and foliage.

Usage: All year round, but preferably during the growth and flowering season from April to September. Insert the sticks around the perimeter of the pot, at equal distances from each other (15cm), to maintain a balanced nutrient supply and promote vegetation development.

Plants need water, about twenty essential nutrients that they find in mineral form in the soil, carbon dioxide (CO₂) present in the air, and solar energy necessary for photosynthesis in order to live and multiply. The basic elements, called macronutrients, are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). They should be present in the soil in significant quantities. The secondary elements, less predominant but nevertheless essential, are calcium (Ca), sulphur (S), and magnesium (Mg). Finally, trace elements, required in very small quantities, include iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), boron (B), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), sodium (Na), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), and silicon (Si). The role of a fertilizer is to compensate for soil deficiencies and provide, through optimal dosage, the elements that promote plant growth, flowering and fruit production, as well as root, bulb, and tuber development.
