Summer can be brutal on your plants. High heat, intense sunlight, and dry soil conditions create the perfect storm for stress, dehydration, and nutrient loss. That’s where fish-based liquid fertilizers shine—delivering nutrients in a form your plants can absorb quickly and safely, even in extreme conditions.
In this blog, we’ll break down why fish-based liquids like 10-10-10 with micronutrients and 12-6-6 ornamental blend from Supply Solutions LLC are some of the best tools for boosting plant performance in summer.
During heat waves, plants face multiple challenges:
This leads to stunted growth, yellowing, poor flowering, and in some cases, plant death. The solution? Deliver nutrients in a fast-acting, easily absorbed liquid form.
Fish-based fertilizers are typically made from enzymatically digested fish hydrolysate. Compared to synthetic or granular options, they: ✔ Provide amino acids, enzymes, and trace minerals naturally
✔ Feed soil microbes, improving long-term soil structure
✔ Are gentle and non-burning—ideal in hot conditions
✔ Remain active even when dry soils lock up granular options
Liquid fertilizers move quickly into root zones and foliage. This is critical when plants can’t afford to wait.
Many granular fertilizers contain salts that can damage roots in hot, dry weather. Fish-based products are naturally low in salts.
Fish fertilizers can be sprayed directly onto leaves, bypassing stressed root systems and improving uptake under drought stress.
Summer heat can damage soil microbes. Fish hydrolysate feeds and protects beneficial organisms that help retain nutrients and fight disease.
These products can be rotated or combined depending on your plant’s needs and soil test results.
