Info on Algo- Flash?

Posted by jeelli 5 (CT) (My Page) on

I have heard so many of you on this forum mention the fertilizer Algoflash. It sounds really good, so I checked out their website. Now I'm just confused as to what exactly I should buy.
Should I buy the acid loving plants solution for the Gardenias and Citrus that I have, or should I get the all purpose solution for everything, including my Jasmine, or the Flowering Plant solution, since pretty much all of my plants are flowering (or- SUPPOSED to be flowering- none of them ever really do!)??
They also sell Epsom Salts. Where would that fit in to the equation? I've been using Dyna-Grow (from Logee's) but I've just never been too impressed with the results.
I have Gardenias, Jasmine (Sambac and others) Citrus, Stephanotis, Mandevilla (Laxa and Scarlet Pimpernel) just to name a few, if that helps. Any advice? I would appreciate any words of wisdom, and as always I thank You!

RE: Info on Algo- Flash?

I have used the 'all purpose' on my indoor plants with pretty good success. However you have to watch out for deficiencies in acid loving plants. My gardenia started to get iron deficient because I hadn't used any 'acidic' plant food.

Algoflash is good for trace minerals and for flowering but you sometimes need to supplement with another fertilizer. I am planning on buying the liquid iron with copper and something else in addition to using the algo flash.
Hope this helps!
