The Troy's Difference - Plants That Thrive After Transplanting

The Troy's Custom Blend Fertilizer Advantage

Troy has spent years studying fertilizer uses, effects, costs and results. We believe our custom blend fertilizer is the best fertilizer produced for this area. It has a well-balanced micronutrient package that is available to the plant immediately yet safe enough to not burn and give it long term feeding.

Most Florida soil is alkaline. This is a good acid forming mix to balance your soil PH for optimum growth & plant health. Our custom blend fertilizer mix is loaded with a good secondary nutrient package of sulfur and magnesium. The nitrogen is in a slow-release form, so it’s available as your plant needs it.

Always remember to amend your soil when transplanting. Mix with existing soil to retain nutrients and water.

The Troy's Family Owned Advantage

We are a smaller nursery, so we can keep a close eye out for problems and micromanage watering and other care. 

The Troys Anti Fertilizer Injection Policy Advantage

We don’t inject fertilizer, fungicide or insecticide into our irrigation for the following reasons:

  • No “Plant Forcing” –  Injecting fertilizer into plants is akin to eating through a feeding tube. Once it’s released, it goes into shock and slowly declines. In the industry, this is called “forcing a plant”. It shortens the growing time but creates a weaker plant.
    • Holistic Plant Health Process – Troy’s incorporates a necessary amount of fertilizer into the soil to get it started then top-dresses with a 3-6 month slow release to ensure long term health. 
  • Plant Inspections & Shock Remediation – The plants we purchase for resale are inspected prior to accepting and fertilized after unloaded to reduce shock 
  • Local Plant Recommendations Only: We don’t recommend plants that don’t do well in this area. Many people will ask for plants that we don’t recommend. We will gladly order any plant a customer requests but reserve recommending them in general.
