Review: The Dr Performed A Miracle! - I ordered this product because I have two hibiscus plants in a pot and only one would bloom a flower every two weeks and remaining flowers wouldn’t bloom and just die….depressing!! Since applying Dr Miracle two weeks ago my plants are thriving and blooming. This organic mixture is the great hope I needed. Review: AMAZING!!! - I was nervous to try this stuff, but for some reason didn't want to buy a "commercially popular" brand. This stuff has floored me. I used it about 3 weeks ago now, and here is the progress so far on what I've used it on. If you don't care to read my plants specific details, skip to the end for a good tip :) Red Vein Prayer Plant - it was sprouting a curled leaf when I used the fertilizer. The leaf was uncurled in a matter of days (much shorter than usual). In the first week and a half, it sprouted 3 new leaves - one curled leaf, and two that started as tiny baby leaves. Since then, the leaves all look SUPER healthy, the 2 baby leaves have quadrupled in size, and now this beauty is sprouting 3 new BIG leaves that I can't wait to see uncurl!! Callisia Repends Bianca - Has grown about 2-3"+ from what I can see hanging down the bottom, and I've been getting a lot more purple, light pink, and white leaves :) I have a dwarf umbrella tree in the bathroom that gets zero natural sunlight, and even that one has grown several inches! ***All in all, this stuff is magic, and 10/10 I would recommend to any others. HOWEVER...this stuff smells worse than a barn. My hubby said the house smelled like rotten, burning garbage. So I took a small spray bottle (I don't know how many ounces it is, but it's only about 3" tall - it's a small travel sized one) I filled it 1/4 of the way with rubbing alcohol, 10 drops of lavender essential oil, and the rest with water. Shook it up, sprayed GENEROUSLY on the plants with fertilizer, and it actually really helped!! (rubbing alcohol dissolves quickly, leaving only the water particles behind. This is why I thought it safe to put on my plants. And so far, no harm done) Another thing though - maybe this is typical with fertilizer and I'm just such a newbie I had no idea. After the first week, it grew mold. For container plants it says to mix the fertilizer with the soil before potting. This didn't work because all my plants are already potted. So I sprinkled it on the top and tried to gently mix and rake it in with a fork. A week later, I noticed a light, white & fuzzy topping over the soil on all 3 plants. I was sad, but noticed the plants still doing exceedingly well, so I wasn't too worried. I got the fork, and this time a big more vigorously, mixed up the top few inches of soil, and sprayed my rubbing alcohol/essential oil mix on the top. After that, I haven't seen any more mold and my plants are still thriving :) ## Features - Natural and Organic Hand Crafted Blend - Carefully designed for exotic plants such as palm, hibiscus, ferns, and tropical varieties. - No synthetic ingredients or GMO infested chicken manure. - Contains TruBiotic beneficial soil microbes & mycorrhizae, contributing to drought tolerance, enhanced nutrient availability & increased performance. - Handcrafted from premium feed grade ingredients enriched with organic nutrients found in land and ocean plants, fish, fish bones & mined minerals. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FGIJ80E | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,574 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #896 in Garden Fertilizers | | Brand | Dr. Earth | | Brand Name | Dr. Earth | | Coverage | Feeds 60 square feet or 16 f ive-gallon plants | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,491 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00749688314138 | | Included Components | Dr. Earth - 756P | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Type Name | Dr. Earth - 756P | | Item Weight | 3.8 pounds | | Liquid Volume | 4 liters | | Manufacturer | TV Non-Branded Items | | Mixing Ratio | 5:4:6 | | Model Number | 756P | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | Dr. Earth - 756P | | Specific Uses For Product | Plant Growth, Soil Conditioning | | Target Species | exotic plants such as palm, hibiscus, ferns, and tropical varieties | | UPC | 749688314138 | | Unit Count | 64 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dr. Earth - **Item Form:** Granules - **Item Weight:** 3.8 pounds - **Liquid Volume:** 4 liters - **Specific Uses For Product:** Plant Growth, Soil Conditioning ## Images ![Exotic Blend Organic Palm, Tropical & Hibiscus Fertilizer 4lb 5-4-6 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OZyXBS7uL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the N-P-K?** A: Their product pic says 6-4-6. **Q: Can I use this on my roses?** A: I would not. That is what rose food is for. **Q: How often should this fertilizer be used on my hardy hibiscus? is it too late to start now, late july?they ve tight, tight buds but wont open. thanks.** A: I applied this fertilizer on my Hibiscus late July last year 2020. I thought I bought a hibiscus plant with small flowers, but after using this fertilizer... I was really surprised how big the blooms are and I had lots of them. **Q: Can I apply this in October in Florida?** A: Yes, you could apply in October in Florida, as far as I know. I would hesitate if in North Florida, as the active growing season winds down by mid October, so you wouldn't want to encourage new growth that could be damaged by a cold front. Follow application rates as stated on the packaging. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Dr Performed A Miracle! *by S***L on July 16, 2026* I ordered this product because I have two hibiscus plants in a pot and only one would bloom a flower every two weeks and remaining flowers wouldn’t bloom and just die….depressing!!

I gave this to our newly planted plumeria and our well-established hibiscus. Both plants exhibit healthy growth. The hibiscus is flowering more and the Plumeria is getting more leaves. I do need to give the plumeria a refresh as our dog has eaten much of the soil. After giving the plumeria this fertilizer, I went out the next day and all the soil was gone. I didn't see piles of dirt around the ground to show any digging. I gave the plant some more fertilizer and continued working. I turned around at one point and saw my Golden Retriever lying down and getting a snack by eating the dirt. I replenished the soil again and put some grating over the top and that helped. I finally read the warning label that said - DOGS LOVE THIS! The label also said that the product is not harmful but the organics attract dogs. That was over a month ago. The dog is still kicking and the plumeria is growing - ALL GOOD! So be careful with your pets. I mean this stuff is addictive to dogs. With that being said, Dr. Earth Exotic Blend is a great product. I will put this into regular fertilizer. NOTE: The fertilizer has no noticeable odor to humans (at least I didn't notice any.) ## Frequently Bought Together - DR EARTH INC 756P Exotic Dr. Earth Exoitc Blend Palm, Tropical & Hibiscus Fertilizer 4lb, Natural - Dr. Earth Flower Girl Bud & Bloom 3-9-4 Organic Fertilizer Formula, 4-Pound Bag - Dr. Earth Natural Wonder Fruit Tree Fertilizer 4 lb --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/10173171-exotic-blend-organic-palm-tropical-and-hibiscus-fertilizer-4lb-5](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/10173171-exotic-blend-organic-palm-tropical-and-hibiscus-fertilizer-4lb-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
