I forgot to mention this, but for succulents you will need to dilute or weaken the dose of the synthetic fertilisers. You will want around 5. So e.g. you find a 10:10:10 NPK fertiliser, use half of the suggested dose. This means it becomes 5:5:5. If it is not equal, base it on the highest number. E.g. if you have a 15:5:5, use 1/3rd so that the highest number of 15 becomes 5.

I have a red worm compost bin for vegetables that expire and use the casting clumps dropped on the top soil and/or the “tea” that drains in the bottom chamber mixed half with water and apply to my succulents every 2-4 weeks year round here in temperate San Diego since it is a mild fertilizer. Works for me. It’s free, recycles spent food, and decreases landfill use. The wormies are cute and proliferate. Check out how to make a red worm compost bin on here by The Environmentalists. :)

G’day Chuck from Perth WA. New subscriber here & I’ve been bingeing your content. Such a large and varied collection you have! 💚 Thank you for all your helpful information. I began growing succulents last year in February 2019 just as a small hobby to get me through menopause & keep me sane but it’s so addictive & I’m amazed at how quickly and easily they grow &:produce pups in Perths climate. My collection is only small and all in pots. I’ve had only a small amount of failures so far but have learned from my mistakes. Start of spring and I’m so very eager to get repotting & re-arranging a few new looks. Happy spring! 🌱🌿☘️🍀🌵

Wow Chuck - that's a lot to absorb (pun intended). Well done. So, some folks use their aquarium water to fertilize their succulents. I don't keep a fish tank any more, otherwise that's what I'd probably use.. Fish manure - I suppose haha. So instead I bought a fish based fertilizer for succulents at the store - I only used it once so far - a year ago. My problem is - I'm worried my plants will get too big since I have such limited space under my grow lights!

What all in one store bought fertilizer would be suggested? For succulents.
@Cerriscapades

For succulents, you generally want something that has a balanced NPK ratio (the numbers close to each other). Most fertilisers have high Nitrogen content, which is good for leafy plants but not so much for most succulents. You do not want them to take up too much nitrogen because this will force them to grow too fast and end up getting elongated (and weaker) in the process. For such fertilisers, you generally would dilute them (if liquid) or use half or a much smaller dose based on the concentration.

I like reading, researching, and experimenting a lot, and I take note of what I have learned, both theoretical and practical. Creating these educational videos is my way of paying it forward.

@@jasminemalhotra7947 Check for the nutrient content, like how much nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) it has. I checked on wikipedia, an it says it usually has something around 0.3%N, 0.1%P and 1%K. Yours might be different, but if it is like this, it's pretty weak as a fertilizer, so you can go for the dosage that is written on the label.
