i like the longevity of this product and it seems to work really well for my plants. i have noticed beautiful growth with my plants and even better color.

I have been very pleased with this Shultz liquid Cactus plant food. I love that it includes micronutrients and low urea. I use it for my succulents which are kept indoors, in individual pots and under grow lights. I can’t credit all the new growth to the plant food as there are multiple factors that have contributed (better watering schedule, plant repot, introduction of grow lights). However, I can definitely tell that the fertilizer has boosted my plants significantly since its introduction. I fertilize at the greater strength of 14 drops per quart of water as directed. In the images I included, I featured a succulent from its side, profile view. You can see the previous growth at the lower and under side of the plant is healthy, but smaller. The newer leaves at the top are bright, larger, longer, thicker and overall more robust. The larger and more robust parts of the plant coincide with the time that I had begun fertilizing. I also imaged some of my rosette succulents which have developed a more dense collection of leaf petals at the center. These succulents have definitely surprised me with their speed of growth, size and density of petals. Additionally, how one waters is also equally important. You cannot simply toss some fertilized water at your plants. I water my succulents several days after when the soil looks dry and when the pots are light when lifted. At this point, I place the dry succulent in its pot into a storage container (designated for watering). The sidewalls of the storage container are about as high as the plant pots themselves. I measure out a quart of tepid faucet water and apply 14 drops of Schultz cactus plant food. I mix the water thoroughly then I add the fertilized water into the watering storage container and not into the individual plant pots themselves. I let them soak for however long is needed. Maybe an hour or at least until I see the top layer of soil is damp. Afterwards, I remove the excess water and let the pots drain until no water is dripping, then back they go under the grow lights with drain plates beneath each one. Overall, I will continue to use this plant food and very happily so.

I’ve been using Schultz Cactus Fertilizer for my slow-growing, fleshy-leaved succulents—agaves, jade plants, and cacti. Since it’s a synthetic, fast-acting fertilizer, I dilute it to about ½ teaspoon per gallon of water. The NPK ratio is 2-7-7, which is perfect for succulents. The low nitrogen helps avoid the stretched, unnatural growth you’d see if you used a more typical “all-purpose” fertilizer. Instead, it supports root health and steady, compact growth. For my cacti, I stick to just two feedings per year: once in spring when they wake up from dormancy, and again in fall about a month before they start slowing down. For other succulents like jade and agave, I’ll use it with every watering during the active growing season—always diluted. One important note: this fertilizer should only be used on plants that are getting enough light. If the plant is light-starved, the nutrients can actually push weak, abnormal growth instead of the compact, healthy growth you want. Overall, it’s been reliable and easy to use, and I think it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a fertilizer specifically suited for slow-growing succulents and cacti.

All of my cacti love this fertilizer, and I’ve noticed a clear difference in growth since I started using it a few months ago. it is super easy to use. The bottle seems small when you get it, but after doing the math, you're getting close to 192 gallons of fertilizer. I think it was worth the price. Overall, happy plant parent!

My succulents love this stuff. Best I’ve found.

Good stuff

Easy to measure out and use and different ways to administer. I just dilute in water and use that dilution to water the plants. Too early to see much change, but plants are not being hurt by this method.

Best for cactus. I 'd recommend it.

I will revise the ratings after 6-8 months after seeing any significant difference post usage of the liquid. The seller has stuck a sticker over important instructions, so had to carefully remove to read it. Have attached the photos before and after removing the sticker.

Not seen any changes or good result even after 6 month....so can not say its worthy.
