    I haven't a clue what type to use, or even what strength. I have over 50 plants I'll give you a rundown on what I basically have and let me know if I need to get a few fertilizers or if 1 will do the job on all of them.
    wandering jew, pothos (golden & marble queen), bridal veil, HL philodendron, chinese evergreen, angelwing begonia, yucca, goldfish plant, marginata, a few dieffenbachia's (sp), schefflera, croton, snakeplant, ivy, and a few similars. Then there are the av's and some succucelents and cacti. I was figuring I am going to need different fert. for the succulents/cacti group, and the av group, and then the general houseplant group. Is this correct? If you could help with strength and brand I would appreciate it. I do have some miracle gro plant spikes, but I was told not to use these as the deliver a concentrated dose in one area and doesn't reach other parts of the plant.
    The whole reason for me wanting to fertilize is because some of my plants aren't producing as healthy growth as I would like. Meaning, some leaves are coming out soooooo small, that I know it needs a boost. Not repotting or watering, some nutrition. I also notice that the plants I potted up with shultz need more assistance than the ones potted with miracle grow soil.
    Thanks a bunch
