soil or by foliar feeding. Fertilizers can be organic, or inorganic. They can be
naturally occurring compounds such as peat or mineral deposits, or manufactured
through natural or chemical processes .
In a potted environment, soil nutrients can eventually get depleted. Adding
fertilizer can artificially provide these nutrients.
Fertilizers are usually marked with a number such as 20–20–20. These numbers
indicate the percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium respectively,

3–1–2 ratio of these elements is usually good for green foliage plants, while a
1–2–1 ratio is usually better for flowering plants. A complete fertilizer will
also include the minor and trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium and iron.
