How to Use Tiger Bloom
Tiger Bloom is a chemical fertilizer manufactured by FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company in North America. It is designed to support the growth of plants during flowering and to help fertilize leaves. Tiger Bloom is high in phosphorus and nitrogen, and this chemistry supports plant growth during flowering and keeps the pH level low. The product is bought as a liquid and diluted in water. Using Tiger Bloom is easy, provided you follow the correct guidelines.
