SUPERthrive Foliage-Pro Liquid Plant Food 9-3-6 | 1gal - (Case of 4)

Urea-Free Liquid Feed for Compact, Sturdy Foliage Growth, 1gal

Tropical foliage plants often respond poorly to fertilizers built around urea nitrogen, which can scorch leaves at anything above a light dose and does nothing to control the leggy, stretched growth common in low-light interior settings. SUPERthrive Foliage-Pro Liquid Plant Food 9-3-6 skips urea entirely and instead uses a nitrate-heavy nitrogen ratio matched to the 3-1-2 balance widely recommended for foliage plant production, aimed at shorter internode spacing and sturdier stems instead of a leggy reach for light.

The 1gal size, sold as a case of 4, suits growers maintaining a larger foliage plant collection who feed regularly enough to go through more concentrate between reorders.

Key Features & Benefits

• 3-1-2 NPK ratio — matches the balance widely recommended for tropical foliage plant production.
• Urea-free nitrogen source — reduces the leaf-burn risk that comes with urea-based fertilizers at higher doses.
• Nitrate-heavy nitrogen ratio — geared toward shorter internodal spacing and sturdier stems instead of leggy growth.
• Reduced salt accumulation — formulated to build up less residual salt in soil or media than a typical liquid feed over repeated applications.
• Liquid concentrate format — mixes directly into a regular watering routine without a separate feeding system.

Who Should Use Foliage-Pro 9-3-6

This feed fits interior plantscapers, foliage houseplant growers, and retailers maintaining display stock who want compact, sturdy growth rather than the stretched growth that low light and urea-based fertilizers can encourage.

About Dyna-Gro Nutrition Solutions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does it matter that this formula is urea-free?

Urea has to be converted by soil microbes or enzymes before plants can use it, and that conversion process can release enough ammonia to burn foliage if a dose runs even slightly heavy. Foliage-Pro's nitrate-based nitrogen skips that conversion step, which is part of why it's positioned as safe to use at labeled rates without the same margin for error.

How often should I feed with Foliage-Pro?

Follow the label's dilution and frequency guidance for your specific plants, since foliage houseplants generally need lighter, more frequent feeding than heavy outdoor bloomers. Consistent light feeding tends to work better with a nitrate-based formula like this than occasional heavy doses.

Will this formula help with legginess in low-light houseplants?

The nitrate-heavy nitrogen ratio is formulated to support shorter internodal spacing and sturdier stems, which addresses part of what causes legginess. Light levels still matter more than any fertilizer, so pairing this feed with adequate light gives the best results.

Does Foliage-Pro cause salt buildup in the soil over time?

The formulation is designed to reduce salt accumulation compared to a typical liquid feed used at the same frequency. Even so, periodically flushing soil or media with plain water is still good practice for any container-grown foliage plant fed on a regular schedule.

Is the 3-1-2 ratio only useful for tropical foliage plants?

That ratio is specifically recommended for tropical foliage plant production, though a wide range of other plants can also use it as a general liquid feed. If you're growing a mix of foliage and flowering plants, you may want a separate bloom-specific formula for the flowering types.
