which plants can the Fertometer® be used?
You can
use it for all potted plants, both indoor and outdoor plants. Common potted
plants are geraniums, surfinias, fuchsias and numerous small plants such as
marigold, petunias and verbenas. The Fertometer is also eminently suitable for
use with indoor varieties such as the ficus, begonias, cyclamen and hibiscus,
and even for exotic plants such as palm trees, bamboos and bananas. It is not
suited for orchids and plants which thrive on poor soil, as well as for
seedlings or cuttings.
