Slow-Release Plant Fertilizer Sticks, 90-Day Supply

Push it in, then get back to your plants

• Push in. No mixing.

  The sticks arrive pre-formed, so there is no scoop, no measuring cup and no watery mess on the windowsill. Press one into the soil at repotting, water the plant the way you always do, and the job is finished. It is the easiest feeding routine we have put on a pot.

• Feeds for 90 days

  The box states a 90-day release period. One application covers a long stretch of the season, so you stop counting weeks and start watching the leaves. Liquid feed asks for the same attention every few weeks. These sticks give the soil a steady supply instead.

• Made for every green plant

  The packaging says the sticks suit many plant types, from leafy foliage houseplants to flowering plants. Use them on a windowsill pothos, a balcony geranium or a row of herbs. If the pots need a fresh start first, flower pots are a good place to begin.

Three steps from box to pot

1. 1
   Repot or pick a pot

   Start with fresh potting mix at repotting, or choose an established houseplant or flower pot that needs a lift.

2. 2
   Push the sticks into the soil

   Press one or more sticks into moist soil, keeping them away from the stem and roots. Follow the directions on the box for how many to use in each pot.

3. 3
   Water as usual

   Water the plant the way you normally would. There is nothing to mix or dissolve, and the sticks release over the following weeks and months.
