Hey everyone! I'm just getting into indoor gardening and I could use some advice on fertilizers. I have two Cinnamon Basil plants, a Rosemary, a Monstera Deliciosa on the way, and a Mint plant that's also coming soon. I've heard good things about a few products and want to know if they're suitable:
1. Purived Houseplant Food
2. Superthrive
3. Foliage Pro
4. Maybe some worm castings? ?
I'd really appreciate any thoughts or recommendations you have. Thanks a ton!

I think Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro is a solid choice. It's urea-free, which is gentler on plants. Just a heads up, Superthrive is more of a supplement for transplanting than a full fertilizer, so it's not really what you're looking for. I haven't tried the Purived yet, but I've seen mixed reviews about it.
Definitely consider worm castings! They're super nutrient-rich and great for bolstering plant health. Just keep in mind that Superthrive isn't a standalone option, so you'll want something else as a primary fertilizer. I've had success with Masterblend if you want to check that out for both soil and hydro setups.
Fun fact about Purived: it’s rated quite well on Amazon with a good Fakespot score for authenticity. Last I checked, it was around $23.99, but prices can fluctuate. If it's all-natural and groundwater safe, that's a plus for me! It might be worth a try for your houseplants.
Nice! I'll keep an eye on the price for Purived before I commit. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the heads-up on Superthrive! I've seen so many ads for Purived lately, but it can be tough to tell what's genuine since many seem sponsored.
