Water isn't a nutrition plan. This is. Keeping a home and patio full of plants fed should not mean a shelf of different bottles and a stack of feeding schedules. The House & Patio Plant Care Kit is one simple plant food system for all of it, houseplants, flowering pots, herbs, and patio greenery. It pairs a slow-release granular feed for months of steady nutrition with a liquid plant food for a weekly boost, so every container plant you own gets what it needs from one kit, with no mixing math and nothing harsh.

Key features

One system for every container plant: houseplants, flowering pots, herbs, and patio plants, indoors and out.
Two-part feeding: 3 slow-release 18-6-12 granular packs for months of steady nutrition, plus 6 packets of 3-2-1 liquid plant food for a regular boost.
Pre-measured and simple: sprinkle and water the granular, dissolve a packet for the liquid, no measuring or guesswork.
Clean and low-odor: professional plant nutrition that is comfortable to use indoors.
Seasonal feeding calendar included.

Ingredients

  • Slow-release granular fertilizer (18-6-12): 3 packs of poly-coated granules with micronutrients for months of steady feeding.
  • Concentrated liquid plant food (3-2-1): 6 packets of a gentle, quick-acting NPK feed with micronutrients including iron, for weekly boosts.
  • Seasonal feeding calendar.

How to use

Two parts, one simple order: granular first, then the liquid on a weekly rhythm. Apply the granular first, water to activate, wait 24 to 48 hours, then begin the weekly liquid feeding.

  1. Slow-release granular (18-6-12): measure the amount for your pot size from the table below, sprinkle it evenly on the dry soil surface, keeping it off the stems, then water thoroughly until the pot drains. Reapply every 3 to 4 months during the growing season.
  2. Liquid plant food (3-2-1): mix one 4 mL packet into 32 oz of water, stir until dissolved, and use it right away. Apply weekly during the growing season.

Amount by pot size:

Pot size | Granular amount | Liquid coverage (1 packet in 32 oz)
Small, 4 to 6 in | 1/2 tbsp | feeds 6 to 8 pots per mix
Medium, 8 to 12 in | 1 tbsp | feeds 3 to 4 pots per mix
Large, 14 in and up | 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp | feeds 1 to 2 pots per mix

Seasonal schedule:

  • Spring: apply the granular at planting and start weekly liquid feeding.
  • Summer: continue weekly liquid, and watch your plants' growth.
  • Fall: reduce to monthly liquid, and reapply the granular if needed.
  • Winter: stop feeding, since most plants are dormant.

Why?

Container plants live entirely on the nutrients in their pots, and both indoor and patio plants run those down between repottings, especially with regular watering. This kit covers both sides of feeding, the slow, steady base from the granular and the regular boost from the liquid, so your plants get consistent nutrition without you tracking several products. It is gentle enough for indoor spaces and versatile enough for the whole collection.

Makes how much?

Each kit feeds a collection of container plants through a full growing season, with the granular measured to pot size and the liquid used weekly. Growing a specific fruit tree, such as citrus, fig, or olive? Our plant-specific kits are tuned for those.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plants can I use this on?

Nearly any container plant, indoors or out: houseplants and foliage plants, flowering containers, herbs, and patio greenery. It is a general-purpose plant food for mixed collections rather than a single-plant formula.

Is this a fertilizer or a plant food?


Both terms describe the same thing. This is a plant food system with two parts, a slow-release granular fertilizer for steady feeding and a liquid concentrate for a regular boost.

How often do I feed my plants?


Apply the granular every 3 to 4 months during the growing season and use the liquid weekly in spring and summer. In fall, drop the liquid to monthly and reapply the granular if needed, then stop feeding in winter while plants are dormant.

Can I use this on indoor plants?

Yes. It is designed for indoor and patio container plants, and it is clean and low-odor for comfortable use inside.

My plant has yellow leaves or brown tips. What does that mean?

Yellow leaves usually point to a nutrient shortage, which the micronutrients in both parts of the kit help correct. Brown, burnt leaf tips are often the opposite, a sign of over-fertilizing or salt buildup, so ease off and water deeply to flush the pot. Stunted or slow growth can mean the plant is due for feeding, and poor flowering or fruiting often calls for the calcium support in our bloom products. When in doubt, feed on the schedule rather than heavier.

Should I use this or a plant-specific kit?

Use this kit for a mixed collection of houseplants and patio plants. If you are feeding a specific fruit tree, such as citrus, fig, olive, or avocado, our plant-specific kits are tuned to those.

All about feeding indoor and patio container plants

Why container plants need regular feeding

A plant in a pot lives on the small volume of soil around its roots, and there is no larger soil ecosystem to replenish it the way there is in the ground. Every watering carries some nutrients out through the drainage holes, and potting mixes hold only a few weeks to a few months of feeding when new. That is why steady feeding, rather than an occasional big dose, keeps container plants in healthy growth and good color.

Why the kit has two parts

The slow-release granular and the liquid concentrate do different jobs, which is the point of pairing them. The granular is the steady base, releasing nutrients gradually over months so there is always a floor of nutrition in the pot. The liquid is the regular boost, a lighter, quick-acting feed you apply weekly during active growth for plants that are working hard, flowering, or filling out. Together they give both consistency and responsiveness, which a single product struggles to do.

Feeding indoors versus on the patio

Indoor and patio plants follow the same basic rhythm but at different intensities. Patio plants in bright light and warmth grow fast and use more, while indoor plants in lower light grow more slowly and need less. In both cases, feeding follows growth, so you feed steadily through the bright, active months and ease off as light drops and growth slows in fall and winter. Overfeeding a plant that has slowed down does more harm than good.

Signs your plants need feeding

Container plants tell you when they are running low. Pale or yellowing older leaves, slow or stalled new growth, small new leaves, and weak flowering all point to nutrition running short. Feeding on a steady schedule prevents most of this, and the liquid boost is a good way to respond when a plant looks like it needs a lift during active growth.

Pro tips for feeding container plants

Water first if the soil is dry, then feed, so nutrients spread evenly and roots are not fed on bone-dry soil.

Do not feed plants that are dormant or barely growing in winter, since they cannot use it.

Follow the pot-size table for the granular rather than guessing, because more is not better.

Match feeding to light, since a brighter plant grows faster and uses more than one in a dim corner.

A general kit or a plant-specific kit

This kit is built for a mixed collection of houseplants and patio plants, where one simple system across everything is the convenient choice. If you are growing a specific fruit tree that has its own needs, such as citrus, fig, olive, or avocado, a plant-specific kit is formulated and scheduled for that plant. Many growers use both, this kit for the general collection and a plant-specific kit for their prized fruit tree.
