Review: Really good for succulents and worth the price - It's been a few days since I applied it and my succulents are doing great. Most importantly I have t had any adverse effects at all which can sometimes happen with liquid fertilizer. Very happy with this , my cacti and succulent are looking better already it works fast! The bag is small but I used it for 20 4-8 inch pots and I used 1 less tsp then it said just to be cautious for the first time (1/4 tsp per 2 inches of pot) so an 8 inch pot got .75) even after the 20 pots I have roughly half left maybe slightly left so for most people it's not that small. Now if you take the leading brand especially for say a 4.5 lb container the price is so much less per ounce like 90%! Less so I see where it's coming from. I bought the leading brand for my large plants like a monstera, rubber tree , yucca cane and my zz plants but for succulents this product t is worth the money for sure and I'm very happy with it. I am very happy with the leasing brand as well on my other plants. Pellets really are the way to go!
Review: Good kick to growth - Prolly the easiest way to fee a plant, a few pellets sprinkled in the pot. Soluble, will saturate into the soil over time, since you know these types of plants only get a tea-or-tablespoon of water a week or month. Increases plant growth, producing a healthier stock.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Product
*by F***S on May 25, 2026*

This thing works like a charm. I didn't know about acclimating cacti tonthe sun from store bought. So my aloe vera started to suffer. It was still growing but for almost 2 months it was just brown looking. See picture. Then I added this fertilizer and within 24hrs is was already looking green. The picture attached of it looking green is after a week. Even my wife noticed from the street that it was much greener as it caught her eye. Also added it to my Opuntia Basilaris who was growing one pad but a snail ate it. After two week of the incident I applied this fertilizer and within 3 days my Opuntia is growing 3 new pads at once. See picture! Will definitely keep buying this product ever year. I didn't read any instructions I just applied it and lightly watered it.
