Tropica fertiliser: aquarium plants and potted plants are different

Tropica fertilisers are intended for aquarium plants. Do not transfer their dosage to potted plants or describe them as human dietary supplements.

Identify the fertiliser

Premium Nutrition and Specialised Nutrition are different manufacturer formulations. Check the exact product, aquarium and directions before dosing. The shortened name “Tropica fertiliser” is not enough to identify a dosage.

Follow aquarium product instructions

Note the volume, plants and products already used. Tropica describes use alongside monitoring plant uptake and aquarium balance. Do not turn this into a guarantee of the same result in every aquarium.

For a houseplant

Choose a fertiliser intended for indoor plants and use the selection and dosage method. For a planted aquarium, see Tropica substrates.
