I've got over 100 potted plants at home and I'm using Miracle Gro All Purpose fertilizer, but I'm really looking for some better options. What are some recommended fertilizers that can help my plants thrive?

If you want something really effective, try a good organic liquid fertilizer. They often have a good blend of nutrients and are less harsh than synthetic ones, making them safer for regular use on potted plants!
Espoma makes some nice organic liquid fertilizers that don’t have a strong smell, which is a big plus! I also find Schultz liquid fertilizers really easy to use. Just keep in mind that organic options often contain animal byproducts like fish emulsion or chicken manure, which can have a bit of a smell and might attract pets.
I absolutely love Neptune's Harvest Organic Fish and Seaweed Fertilizer – it has a ratio of 2-3-1. I've noticed a huge difference in the taste of my home-grown produce. Plus, the smell dissipates quickly. I also like to brew some manure tea for my plants, and they seem to enjoy it!
Schultz is amazing! I started using it on my houseplants and wish I had taken "before" pictures to show the difference. I also use Espoma in my garden and it's fantastic!
