Neeli-Peeli Bundle — NPK Fertilizer Combo (20-20-20 + 5-15-45), 1 kg Each

The blue one and the yellow one — two water-soluble NPK fertilizers that cover a plant's whole life, in one bundle at one price. 1 kg of each.

Most home gardeners buy a single all-purpose feed and wonder why they get strong leafy plants and disappointing flowers. The answer is that a plant needs different food at different stages, and that is exactly what this pair is for.

What is in the bundle

• NPK 20-20-20 — All Purpose Plant Food (blue, 1 kg)
  Balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for the growing stage. Use it from seedling through to the first flower buds, on vegetables, flowers, lawns, houseplants and young fruit trees.
• NPK 5-15-45 — Flower & Fruit Booster (yellow, 1 kg)
  Low nitrogen, high potassium. Switch to this the moment flower buds appear. It drives bloom size, flower count, fruit set and fruit sweetness instead of more leaves.

When to switch from blue to yellow

Start every plant on 20-20-20. The moment you see the first flower buds forming, move it to 5-15-45 and stay on that through flowering and fruiting. On winter flowers in Pakistan that switch usually falls in December or January; on tomatoes, chillies and capsicum it falls about six weeks after transplanting.

How to use

• Rate: 5 g (one level teaspoon) dissolved in 5 litres of water.
• How often: every 10 to 14 days through the growing season.
• Always water the pot or bed first, then apply the feed. Fertilizer on dry soil burns roots.
• Foliar spray: both are fully water-soluble and can be sprayed on the leaves at the same rate, early morning or after sunset — never in midday sun.
• At that rate each 1 kg bag makes 1,000 litres of feed, so this bundle lasts a home garden a very long time.

Suitable for

Winter and summer flowers, all vegetables, fruit trees and citrus, lawns, roses, and indoor plants. Safe in pots, raised beds, rooftop containers and open ground.

Storage

Keep both bags sealed, cool and dry. Water-soluble fertilizer cakes into a solid lump if it draws moisture — squeeze the air out and fold the top over after each use.

Delivery

Flat Rs 250 anywhere in Pakistan, free on orders over Rs 3,500, and free delivery inside Lahore.
