Fertilizer companies are required to put 3 numbers on every bag of fertilizer. The numbers represent in this order the amount of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, & Potassium.
Nitrogen is the primary element that will make the plant, turf, or tree grow. Nitrogen gives the ability for the plant to produce chlorophyll and is the only base fertilizer that will work when temperatures are below 60 degrees at night.
Phosphorus increases bloom or fruit yield and size, also assists in root development and strengthens stems of plants. This is great for new plants when newly installed.
Potassium protects the plant from disease and assists through drought and cold weather. Potassium also improves root growth.
Consult a landscape professional if you need any assistance choosing the correct fertilizer for your needs.
