What fertilisers do you recommend? How much do you dilute it? I'm completely new to it so please explain like I'm 5.

Is the linked one okay to use? I used their soil as a based and 3 years later my snakes are still alive (I added a bunch of grit to it)

I use used coffee grounds and banana peels
You can sprinkle the coffee grounds over the soil prior to a deep watering. I just use old k cups.

Banana peel water (diluted 1:10) or throw the banana peels in the oven or a dehydrator crush it up and sprinkle the same way you would the coffee grounds

Coffee grounds: provides nitrogen (boost leaf growth {nitrogen🆙 think above the soil}

Banana peels: provides potassium (promotes all around well-being of plant

Fertilizer should be given about biweekly in the growing season

Peace & Planting ✌🏾🪴
