Terrible product
on April 25, 2021

Expertise:Intermediate
I am so unhappy with this product. I used as directed and it killed my succulents and my aloe. The succulents turned a weird color and the leaves fell off and it died withing a few weeks. My aloe leave shriveled and turned black within 2 dats of using. I will never use this again. They were doing fine on their own I thought this would liven them up and make them grow faster. I should have left them alone.
Cons: Didn't work as expected
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you want to finish using what is left in the bottle, you can mix 1½ tsp with 32 fl. oz. of water. (1 tsp = 5 ml, 8 pumps from non-foaming or 16 pumps from foaming applicator = 8 ml)

Succulents love it!

Expertise:Intermediate
I’ve been buying this product regularly and though using it in greater quantity and frequency than the instructions recommend, I’ve had much success with my succulents thriving thanks to it. The last purchase was disappointing because of the broken pump and so it’s a little messy when dispensing the product.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so pleased with how the succulent plant food works. It's easy to just pump it directly on the soil or I can mix it in with my watering can. I have aloe plants and this plant food has helped with the growth. I like how there is a tab to cover the opening of the pump when not in use and the shape of the bottle is perfect for your hands. I am very satisfied with this product and how it works.
Pros: Easy to Use, Effective, Good Directions, Quality, Value
