Nelson NutriStar 5-30-5 Granular Fertilizer 2 lb – Plumeria & Flowering Tropicals

Grow thriving tropical specimens with Nelson NutriStar 5-30-5

Nelson Plant Food’s NutriStar 5-30-5 Granular Fertilizer is crafted for both in-ground beds and patio containers. The balanced 5-30-5 NPK, plus five nitrogen sources, helps sustain steady growth through changing seasons. A higher phosphorus level supports bloom development, while elemental sulfur gently adjusts soil acidity to suit a range of tropical plants. Micronutrients are included to help leaves take on richer color and blossoms appear more vibrant.

This formula is well suited for plumeria (frangipani), lei plants, ground orchids, tree ferns, peace lilies, crotons, ixora, stephanotis, Mexican firebush, candletree, and other flowering tropicals. It works in both in-ground beds and containers, helping you achieve lush foliage and eye-catching blooms with less frequent feeding.
