Alright, so I decided to try out some of that special fertilizer stuff, you know, the one they say makes flowers go crazy? My plants were looking okay, but not really putting on a show like I wanted. Just a few blooms here and there, kinda sad looking if I’m being honest.
Getting Started
First thing, I went and picked up a bottle of this ‘flower and bloom’ feed. Looked pretty standard, blue liquid kind. The label had all sorts of promises, more flowers, bigger flowers, you name it. Seemed simple enough.
Back home, I grabbed my old watering can. The instructions said something like mix a capful per gallon. Okay, easy peasy. Poured some water in the can, then dumped in what looked like about a capful of the blue stuff. Stirred it around a bit with a stick I found. Looked good, nice blue water now.
The Actual Doing Part
Then I just went around and gave my flowering plants a good drink of this blue mix. The petunias got some, the geraniums definitely needed it, even that struggling rose bush got a dose. Didn’t soak ’em completely, just replaced their normal watering for that day with this stuff.
I figured I’d do this maybe once a week, or maybe every two weeks? The bottle said something about frequency, but honestly, I kinda planned to just see how things went. You know how it is.
Waiting and Watching
And then, you wait. That’s always the hard part. For the first week, nothing really changed. Still the same old plants. I kept watering them normally on the other days. Almost forgot I’d even used the special feed.
But then, going into the second week, I started noticing stuff. Little buds popping up where there weren’t any before. Especially on the petunias, they seemed to really wake up.
So Did It Work?
Yes! It totally worked. After about two, maybe three weeks? Boom. Way more flowers. Seriously. The colours seemed brighter too, richer. That sad little rose bush even pushed out a couple of decent blooms, which was a big win.
- More buds appeared pretty quickly.
- The flowers that opened seemed bigger.
- Colours were definitely more vibrant.
So yeah, that bloom fertilizer thing? It actually did something. Didn’t have to do anything complicated, just mix it in the water now and then. My little flower patch looks way better now, much more cheerful. Definitely gonna keep using this stuff when they need a boost.
