What is 20/20 for plants?
NPK 20 20 20 is a highly concentrated, balanced plant fertiliser. It contains equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It is ideal for growing plants in poor quality soils as it provides a high amount of each of the three essential plant macronutrients. NPK 20:20:20 contains slightly higher concentrations of each nutrient compared to NPK 19:19:19. This means it can deliver a bigger nutrient boost with the same quantity of fertilizer. For crops that need intensive nutrition, NPK 20:20:20 might be the preferred option.
What is the best fertilizer for every plant?
Nitrogen helps produce green leaves and stems, phosphorus helps produce root development, and potassium helps the plant withstand stress from heat or cold. A good all-purpose fertilizer would be a 10-10-10 NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). This type of fertilizer will work well for most plants and soil types. Nitrogen (N) is the main element behind vibrant, green growth. It’s essential for developing strong stems and lush foliage, making it particularly important for leafy plants like Delicious Monsters, Pothos, and all types of Philodendrons.
