Sir i can tell you about cacti and succulents....they have less nitrogen requirement and high potassium and phosphorus needs.

Give them half a teaspoon of DAP fertilizer once on start of every growing season..Avoid foliar fertilizers as they may burn the plants.

Potassium and magnesium in very minute quantity ..about a quarter teaspoon should be applied just before flowering commences and not the whole growing season.

Growing season is from mid March to late September

These quantities are recommended for a 12 inch containerized plant... the quantity will increase with size of pot.

These are the quantities of fertilizer that i personally use for my cacti plants not taken from other internet sources...so i might be wrong scientifically but it works for me so

I think that will vary from plant to plant. What plants are you interested in? Readers can then suggest possibilities.
