I have been fertilizing my plants with this exact brand fish fertilizer for 5 years (maybe longer)now. The plants love, love, love it! This is all I use whether it’s for cacti, orchids, houseplants, etc. I put about 1 tbsp in my 1 gallon watering can and water monthly during the growing season. Haven’t had any problems with root burn. Yes, the smell isn’t pleasant, but it doesn’t last forever. If my plants love it, my family and I can suffer for a bit, lol.
Hi! I was wondering, say I mixed some in with water to water my plants and had a few inches of water left in the watering can. Is it bad to let that sit for multiple days and then water with it? Assuming so bc I have some random mold on a few of my plants soil which is odd cause I def don’t overwater & I bottom water.
Great video. You may have just over fertilized by quite a bit though. If you read the back label it say's to use 1 teaspoon for indoor plants, not table spoon. I made the same mistake lol. Great video though!
I noticed you put 1 TABLESPOON in a quart, where it should’ve been 1 TEASPOON. Did your plants get burned? I use Neptune’s Harvest Fish & Seaweed fertilizer and I love it. For a quart of water, I only use 3/4 TEASPOON. Works great! 😉. Thanks for the video!
What is the negative side of using normal tap water or filter water? Why you suggested using deionized water. Normal water have ions which are important for plant I assume.
I use this on my house plants and it DOES NOT SMELL! First, you are only using 1-2 tsp in a GALLON of water. Also, If my plants are growing and putting out new growth I FEED THEM! That is the purpose of feeding after all .... right? I also water my plants lightly 2 days prior to Fish Plant Food to prevent burning roots and in preparing roots for food.
@@mercedesbenzs600bash it promotes healthy new growth and is a natural fertilizer. I use it on all my house and garden plants. The smell disappears once you add it to the soil and it's not that bad. I always use less then recommended on the fish emulsion container.
Hi! Once mixed in with your water, do you know how long it’s good for? I had some left in my watering can and watered with it days later :/ I believe i may have caused mold to grow on my soil by doing so.
hello just came across this video and i’m super nervous to fertilize but I know my babies need it... is it okay to let my plants dry before fertilizing or will that burn my plants? should the soil be semi moist before fertilizing? I have the same fertilizer mentioned in the video... thanks!
Have you used mosquito bits AND plant food in your water? I’ve read/seen on fb that a lot of people steep their mosquito bits in their water to get rid of gnats. But am wondering if it’s safe to add plant food as well to feed the plants and knock out gnats....
I just picked some up last week. Does anyone know if your plant is bone dry will it burn them? I always let most of mine get bone dry before I water. Amanda from planterina says she does this all year around as long as she sees new growth. I see new growth so I think I will be okay its mid October here in ohio. I feel like my peperomia needs fertilizer because the new growth looks a bit weird.... I will only use a 1/4 of the recommended dose though just to be safe.
I'm curious, your plants were okay after using this? I was super worried that maybe I went too hard w the fertilizer, but it was definitely not as brown as this. So I think I should be okay? The smell is not the worst...but I'm worried that it will just forever smell like fish guts in here
I fertilize when my plants are actively growing, even if that's during the winter time. Sometimes our indoors plants don't realize it's winter time so they just continue to grow and they're going to need nutrients just as they would during any time of year while they're actively growing.
I noticed you mentioned using 1-2 teaspoons but you measured out 1 tablespoon. I'm on the fence about trying this because I'm not going to water my plants outside.
I realized that too 😅 that was just a mistake by me! The smell is very strong, but if you don’t mind it you can water your plants inside. Otherwise, I would recommend a different fertilizer because the smell will linger in your home!
You are better off with a synthetic fertilizer, otherwise your home will smell like a diaper bin. I use the fish stuff outdoors and I get better results if its diluted more than the label suggests (no more than 1 Tbs per gallon of water).
You should have licked the spoon clean like when your baking. I believe in letting your water sit out overnight before watering to dissipate the chlorine but the other metals in the tap water are good for plants I think, so using distilled water would take away those minerals. I use to make a worm casting tea with bat guano, molasses, and kelp but its a hassle.
...after using this on more than three plants yes you will smell it ...just for an hour or so...turn on a fan...different batches of this produce are thicker and more green....but the results are the same ... mine calls for one to four tablespoons per gallon depending on indoors or outdoors tho...
That's why you use it outside on your house plants when they are spending the summer outside. In the fall and winter when the plants are back in the house you do not use the fish emulsion. The smell when used outside is GONE pretty quickly.

What's the actual benefits of fish emulsion,is it suppose to be the best??

I caught that very same thing and yes you are quite correct my friend it is not "Tablespoon" TBSP but "Teaspoon " TSP.
I did the same thing the first time!! Oops lol
This is why it’s always good to read comments. Thank you for noting this info!
Just started using this and I am using it with rainwater, great video and will keep you posted thanks for the review.
What are the benefits of fish emulsion???
You are very brave, I keep mine outside for the garden only. Unbelievable stink bomb if you ever needed one.
Ha! I just spoke to you on Etsy about Exotica Pothos cuttings without realizing you’re the same person. 🙂👍

Im using it too and man my indoor plants love it.
Congrats on the first video :)

Great video thanks. I actually dilute the fish emulsion into my 2 gallon watering cans. I only use half the recommended amount. It works great.

I’ve heard that it’s best to water first & then go in with the fertilizer to avoid burning the roots.
@@lameshahale2990 same
I doubt it’s the same blanket reality for every plant. STUDY YOUR PLANT SPECIES
🌞 Beautiful plants, that's a gr8 idea 'watering from the bottom up'. Tkx for the tip👍

I do and it seems to be working fine. Did you ever try it & did it turn out okay for you?
How often do you fertilize your plants?thank you 😍🥰😘🤗
Thank you for the video do you use regular organic fertilizer in addition to fish oil?

Thanks for the video. How often do you this fertilizer?

It does go away but the fish gut hotel smell will linger for a bit
I think you forgot to mention how often you should fertilize your plants. How often do you fertilize your plants? Great video, btw!
omg thank you! I fertilize mine like every 3rd watering in the growing months (around once every 3 weeks) & not at all during winter.
I fertilize when my plants are actively growing, even if that's during the winter time. Sometimes our indoors plants don't realize it's winter time so they just continue to grow and they're going to need nutrients just as they would during any time of year while they're actively growing.
I onlu have 1 plant and i only water it once a month completly soaking it. so should i use more fert or no?
I thought it was 1 tablespoon per gallon thank God I read the instructions

@@ErikaLodes Thanks, I'll use something else if it's that strong Lol.
@@heavymechanic2Thanks, I'll continue to use the synthetic liquid fertilizer I have. I'm way too sensitive to odors.
brawndo is what plants crave
Hi Erica! Now is it 1T or 1 tsp per quart?
I wonder if your thoughts on this have changed in the past two years.
This is so cool, I think they use this at disney with live fish or something.
r jane11 probably! If you have live fish you can use their dirty tank water to feed ur plants!
@@ErikaLodes that is literally the coolest thing ever!

how about smell? still stay in the soil ? for how long?
P much until it dries/ 2 days
Hello Erika I just subbed to both TH-cam and Instagram , How often are you doing this once a month twice a month ? Great videos thank you for posting
Thank you 😎I would say about once every 3 weeks
@@ErikaLodes thank you
How often?
I can smell it through the screen lmao!
Turn your volume up a little dear. I'll try that. Mama Long
Sharon Long thanks
I think the volume was fine. Not too loud like some videos are.
Very pretty girl and nice plants
Good job! Keep me posted:) 🌱
Thank you, I will 🤗
I would just use regular Soil
Nice plants but I can’t hear you 😩
😍
U need to up ur volume 🙂
Does it smell up ur house lol
Yup
...after using this on more than three plants yes you will smell it ...just for an hour or so...turn on a fan...different batches of this produce are thicker and more green....but the results are the same ... mine calls for one to four tablespoons per gallon depending on indoors or outdoors tho...
Good soup
You remind me of Karlee Grey
That stuff smells, if you use it on all plants most of you are going to hate it.
I have used this fertilizer and let's be honest here it smells like dookie!
Love you❤ you r varry beautiful
That smell is too strong don’t listen to this it will stink ur house up.
i don’t think it smells bad really

@@ursamajor6347 it is made from dead fish materials what do you want it to smell like, a freshly baked apple pie. Lol.
