- EarthPods Flower & Rose Fertilizer Spikes, Organic Bloom Booster, 100 Ct

I had better results with Jack's or Epsoma.

First let me say that this company's attention to our world and all living things in it, demands five stars on it's own merit, but a review of the effectiveness is what most shoppers are seeking. I anxiously awaited proof, after applying, which was done around "last frost day". My goal was invigorating inground flowers as well as potted. I also tried it along with planting Morning Glory seeds. Plants applied to: 13 antique rose bushes, 3 Double Knockout rose bushes, 1 Nancy Banks; potted petunias and pansies; 6 Crepe Myrtle ; 1 Pomegranate tree, and 1 Pomegranate bush; 1 Desert Willow; various potted Perineal 🌺.Our Texas Hill Country experienced a colder and wetter winter this year, evidenced by some of these plants appearing dead and dried up, the roses showing Black Spot, dropping leaves, new buds not maturing. I had become used to a fairly quick reaction from past "mix with water" fertilizers, but not so with this product. If you can imagine me pacing the floor, muttering to myself, impatiently waiting for a sign. Well, when it finally decided to take effect, it was worth the wait. Everything acted as if on cue, all rose bushes covered with blooms, potted flowers as well. New, healthy leaves.Bottom line, am I pleased with this product? Absolutely! Buy it again? Absolutely!

Missing instructions and how to use it

All of my indoor flowering plants respond really well, including: Peace Lilly, Anthurium, Begonia, African Violet. Easy to use, no dosage issues. It’s the best of all I have tried.

Easy to use and easy to store. If the quality is good, I don't mind it being a bit expensive. But the instructions are a bit unclear, as it stated to use 1-2 for small plant, 2-4 for medium plant, 4-8 for large plant. Small, medium, large is sort of subjective, plus with the range suggestions, it's not that clear to me how much I'm supposed to use. I fed my amaryllis a week ago. I only used 1 capsule per planter, and each planter had 3-4 amaryllis bulbs. Multiple new shoots are now coming up pretty fast, but not all of the bulbs have the new shoots yet. Maybe next round I'll give it 2 capsules.

EarthPods Bloom is a convenient and not messy fertilizer especially for potted flowering plants. Also, potted blooming annuals seem to react quickly in less than a week to EarthPod Bloom and the growth with blooming effect lasts for maybe up to 3 weeks. The price ($29), however, seems high compared to other quality fertilizers such as organic liquid fertilizers.

I have been using these in my flowering houseplants (violets, primroses, and Christmas cactuses) for the past month. Three of the violets which are very hard to coax into blossom have buds now, and the primroses, which seemed to be at the end of their bloom cycle, all have several new buds. I'm happy with this product and will likely buy it again, not just for the indoor plants, but for my outdoor container gardens and hanging baskets this summer!

I like how easy these are to use. It is a little early to determine how much they help my plants but love no measuring or chance of over-fertilizing and damaging plants.
