The term fertilizer encompasses the totality of natural or chemical substances that promote the optimal development of plants of all kinds and should provide them with sufficient nutrients. Since the numerous plants around the world place completely different demands on water, trace elements and other nutrients, specialist retailers do not offer a universal fertilizer for all types of plants; rather, florists and gardeners have a very precise adjustment to the respective flowers when selecting the fertilizer – or plant genus. There are basically two ways to fertilize a plant and thus promote the health of this living being. On the one hand, fertilizers can be added directly over the potting soil or a granulate, which is why the use of special soils and nutrient media is recommended for individual types of plants such as orchids, roses or succulents. On the other hand, fertilizers are explicitly offered as substrates in order to supply individual plants with missing nutrients in a targeted manner as a watering additive. In both cases, the fertilizers have to penetrate into the soil from where the plant absorbs these nutrients via the roots and can thus develop optimally. Since an oversupply of nutrients that harm the plant is also possible, precise coordination and dosage of the fertilizers is always essential.
