Fertilome Blooming
and Rooting Soluble
Plant Food
Grow more beautiful and hardy plants with this Blooming and Rooting Plant Food!
The formula for Blooming and Rooting Soluble Plant Food is 9-58-8. This plant food is 58% phosphorus with enough nitrogen and potassium to stimulate healthy plant growth.
Because this plant food is high in phosphorus, it strengthens roots, produces lovelier blooms, and aids fruit development. This product was designed especially for tomatoes, roses, orchids, pansies, and other blooming and fruit-bearing plants.
Applications
- Container plants: Put 1 teaspoon in a gallon of water. Soak the soil in the flower pot until the water drips out the drainage holes. Use this solution each time you water until you have a healthy, blooming plant. For maintaining a healthy plant after that, you can use ½ teaspoon in a gallon of water.
- Foliage feeding for outdoor plants: Mix 1 tablespoon of plant food in a gallon of water. Use a watering can and thoroughly wet the leaves with the solution.
- Foliage feeding for container plants: Dissolve ¼ teaspoon of plant food in a quart of water for foliar feeding of plants in flower pots. Wet the leaves well.
- With foliage feeding, the leaves take in the solution immediately. This gives the plant nutrients quickly, providing fast results if a plant has stopped blooming or if the leaf color is fading.
- Outdoor plants: For outdoor plants in your garden and flower beds, mix 2 tablespoons of plant food in a gallon of water. Apply 1 quart per one square foot of soil. For best results, this solution can be applied every 7 to 14 days during the growing season.
- Rooting solution: Dilute a teaspoon of the Blooming and Rooting mix in a gallon of water. Right after planting, saturate the root area of the plant. If you are planting a large plant in a one-gallon container or bigger, slowly pour the plant food mixture into the hole as you add the soil around the plant roots.

What do the numbers in fertilizer formula stand for?
All fertilizers are made with a formula represented in 3 numbers. For example, Fertilome for all Seasons II Lawn Food Plus Crabgrass and Weed Preventer has a formula of 16-0-8.
- The first number stands for nitrogen content by percentage. Nitrogen helps plants produce chlorophyll, speeding growth and giving your lawn a darker green color
- The second number stands for the percent of Phosphorus. Phosphorus aids in the root development and increase the amount and size of blooms.
- The last number shows the percentage of Potassium. Potassium serves many functions in plant growth, such as disease prevention, drought protection, cold tolerance, improved root development, and aiding in photosynthesis.
While these are the main active ingredients, the fertilizer also contains other nutrients and filler products that make it easier to apply to a large area.
Knowing what these numbers mean can help you make a good decision on the kind of fertilizer your yard or plants need. If you are serious about a lush green lawn, you can do a soil test to learn exactly what your soil and plants need to produce beautiful vegetation.
