What is NPK?

Ever see those three numbers on a fertilizer bag and wonder what they mean? Meet NPK, your plant’s favorite meal!

N is for Nitrogen. It’s the key player for green, leafy growth. Think lush leaves and strong stems.

P is for Phosphorus. This one is all about the roots, flowers, and fruits! It helps build strong roots and encourages beautiful blooms.

K is for Potassium. Consider this the plant’s immune booster. It helps with overall health, disease resistance, and managing water.

Together, these three numbers form a ratio that tells you what the fertilizer provides. More nitrogen for lawns and leafy greens, more phosphorus for flowers and roots, and more potassium for fruits and overall hardiness.

Hope this helps!
