Description
AlgoPlus Liquid Plant Fertilizer – Concentrated Mineral-Based Plant Food
Promote healthy growth, vibrant foliage, abundant blooms, and productive fruiting with AlgoPlus concentrated liquid fertilizers. Originally developed under the Algoflash name for French vine growers in the Loire Valley, these specialized liquid fertilizers have a long history of use in plant nutrition. The product line is now offered under the AlgoPlus name, reflecting a change in branding while continuing the focus on concentrated, water-soluble mineral plant nutrition.
AlgoPlus fertilizers combine the three primary plant nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK)—with magnesium and essential trace elements to support the nutritional needs of different plant types. Their 100% mineral-based formulas are completely water-soluble, odorless, and colorless, making them convenient for use with container plants, flower gardens, and other plantings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why was Algoflash changed to AlgoPlus?
The fertilizer line was originally sold under the Algoflash name and is now marketed as AlgoPlus. The change reflects a branding transition rather than a change in the basic concept of the product: concentrated, water-soluble, mineral-based plant nutrition. Check the label on the specific bottle for its current formulation and directions.
How often should I fertilize with AlgoPlus liquid fertilizer?
The recommended frequency depends on the specific formulation, the plant, and its growing conditions. Product guidance recommends feeding at every watering, or at least twice per week when plants are actively growing. Always follow the directions on the individual bottle, and avoid fertilizing plants when the growing medium is excessively dry or the plants are stressed.
Can I use AlgoPlus in an organic garden?
AlgoPlus is mineral-based, but that does not automatically mean it is approved for certified organic production. If you maintain a certified organic garden or need to meet organic certification standards, check the specific product's ingredients and certification status before use.
What does NPK mean?
NPK stands for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), the three primary nutrients listed on fertilizer labels. Nitrogen supports leafy growth and green foliage, phosphorus plays an important role in root development and reproductive growth, and potassium supports overall plant function, including water regulation and stress tolerance. The percentages on a fertilizer label indicate the guaranteed amounts of these nutrients by weight.
Why are there different AlgoPlus formulations for different plants?
Different plants have different nutritional needs. Plants grown primarily for foliage may benefit from a different nutrient balance than flowering plants or fruiting crops. AlgoPlus offers specialized formulations designed to better match the nutrient requirements of different plant types.
Why might AlgoPlus have a lower NPK analysis than some other fertilizers?
A higher NPK number does not automatically mean a fertilizer is better for every plant. The appropriate nutrient concentration depends on the plant's needs, the growing medium, and how frequently the fertilizer is applied. Overfertilizing can damage roots and foliage through excess soluble salts. Follow the recommended dilution rate and feeding instructions for the specific formulation.
