Fertilizer is bought from Costolot's shop or produced when a [[Taffly]] eats fruit; it comes in a variety of colors. It is used to give [[plants]] a boost. Giving plants the appropriate color of fertilizer will make them grow faster and produce larger and more valuable fruit.

For most plants, you can use three applications of fertilizer immediately after planting them for maximum effect. Some plants however, such as the [[Apple Tree]] require a different strategy to fully boost growth.

Fertilizing an [[apple tree]] or an [[Oak Tree]] is trickier than other [[:Category:Vegetable|vegetables]] or [[:Category:Flower|flowers]]. Instead of fully fertilizing 3 times right after planting, you have to wait until certain stages in the tree's growth to fully fertilize it. Immediately after planting you can fertilize it once with its fertilizer. Then you must wait until the tree has grown. You can tell when the tree is ready for more fertilizer when it shakes and leaves fall from the branches. Wait again for it to shake and then you can perform the last fertilization. Make sure it's watered, wait for it to grow, and you should have a fully branched tree that has more branches and will produce more fruit!

If you feed fruit (or vegetables?) to a [[taffly]], it will create fertilizer of the same color that the plant required e.g. Apples will turn into red fertilizer and Carrots into orange and so on.

Another great way to fertilize is to use the Special Mix fertilizer at [[Ivor Bargain|Ivor's shop]]. This will work on all types of plants and trees.

Fertilizing flowers makes them grow fuller and produce more flowers. Fertilizing vegetable plants causes them to produce larger, more valuable vegetables. Fertilizing fruit trees allows them to produce more fruit.

Regular colored fertilizer can be bought from Costolot's shop. Later, Special Mix fertilizer becomes available from Ivor Bargain's shop.

Sprinkle it down

For most plants, you can use three applications of fertilizer immediately after planting them for maximum bonus growth. However some plants, such as trees, are a bit trickier and require a different strategy to fully boost growth.

Instead of fully fertilizing 3 times right after planting, you have to wait until certain stages in the tree's growth to fully fertilize it. Immediately after planting you can fertilize it once. Then you must wait until the tree has grown a bit and shakes leaves from its branches before fertilizing again. Wait again for it to shake and then you can perform the last fertilization.

For most plants, you can use three applications of fertilizer immediately after planting them for maximum bonus growth. However some plants, such as trees, are a bit trickier and require a different strategy to fully boost growth.

Instead of fully fertilizing 3 times right after planting, you have to wait until certain stages in the tree's growth to fully fertilize it. Immediately after planting you can fertilize it once. Then you must wait until the tree has grown a bit and shakes leaves from its branches before fertilizing again. Wait again for it to shake and then you can perform the last fertilization.

In Pocket Paradise, fertilizer must be produced for you by a Taffly. In order for this to happen, you must feed a Taffly a fruit. The Taffly will then produce fertilizer the color of the fruit. For example, feeding an apple to a Taffly will produce red fertilizer.

In Pocket Paradise, trees and bushes cannot be fertilized.

Commonly asked questions
How do I get full bonus growth?

Depending on what you're fertilizing, it may take 1 to 3 doses, possibly applied at specific times. Plants and flowers need 3 doses of fertilizer, which you can apply immediately. Trees and bushes generally require a dose to be applied whenever its blossoms are about to bud/burst. You'll generally find more specific details at each tree or bush article. View thread


Any tips to achieve full bonus growth for the gem tree?

See answer.


Do you use fertilizer when a plant is growing or when its done growing?

Fertilizer needs to be applied before the plant is done growing. Listen for the high-pitched chime sound to indicate that the fertilizer was successfully applied. (If you hear a low-pitched ding-dong sound, it wasn't the right time to apply the fertilizer. Try again, since there's no risk of over-fertilizing, except for the coins it costs.) View thread
