What are the benefits of fertilisers in the ornamental garden?
The right NPK value for your ornamental plants ensures
✅ A healthy & strong root system
✅
A rich & long flowering period
✅
Green, glossy & healthy leaves
✅ A balanced growth system
✅ Balanced growth
✅ Three months of nutrition
What does that NPK value stand for?
For the gardener who is still a bit green behind the ears, that NPK value may sound like Chinese. We would like to explain it for you:
• N = Nitrogen: stimulates leaf growth and ensures a fresh green colour.
• P = Phosphorus: ensures strong roots and good bud formation.
• K = Potassium: regulates water absorption and ensures strong plant cells. It is also an important factor in resistance to fungi and diseases.
Often, Mg or Ca also joins the formula:
• Mg = Magnesium: makes chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
• Ca = Calcium: neutralises the soil so it cannot become too acidic.
What should I look out for when choosing a fertiliser?
Many ornamental plants in the garden do well with a general fertiliser, but acid-loving plants - such as azaleas, hydrangeas and rhododendrons - require a specific fertiliser!
What's more, we also have bluemakers in the range to keep your hydrangea flowers beautifully blue.
What is the difference between an organic and a mineral fertiliser?
Chemical fertiliser, also known as artificial fertiliser, is composed of nutrients that are synthetically manufactured, while organic fertiliser is made from natural materials.

Which form of fertiliser is best to choose?
Which form of fertiliser is best to choose?
Besides various compositions, you can also distinguish fertilisers by their shape.
•
Granular fertiliser:
Granular fertilisers are dry, granular fertilisers that release nutrients slowly. They are useful for the garden & lawn because they can be easily spread over a large area, using a fertiliser spreader for example. Granular fertilisers are ideal for long-term feeding as they gradually dissolve and slowly release their nutrients to the soil.
•
Liquid fertiliser:
Liquid fertilisers are concentrated fertilisers that still need to be diluted with water. These liquid types are quickly absorbed by the plant. They are perfect for houseplants, flower beds and kitchen gardens where a quick nutrient boost is needed. They are easy to spread with sprinklers or watering cans. Plus, with the liquid fertilisers, you have precise control over nutrient application.
•
Fertiliser sticks:
Fertiliser sticks are compact and pre-dosed sticks of nutrients. All you have to do is push them into the soil of the plant pot. Super easy! This makes them particularly handy for houseplants, tub plants... These fertiliser sticks release the nutrients slowly and evenly, without the risk of overdosing.
