Enhanced Growth and Structural Strength of Fountain Grass

Organifer Fountain Grass Liquid Fertiliser supports strong, upright growth in Cenchrus setaceus, a popular ornamental grass valued for its arching foliage and graceful, bottlebrush-like plumes. Native to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, fountain grass thrives in sunny, warm conditions and responds well to balanced organic nutrition. The 2-1-8 formulation promotes firm leaf development, lush clump formation, and stable plant structure, helping ornamental grasses reach their full landscape potential.

Improved Root Development and Efficient Nutrient Uptake

Healthy roots are essential for ornamental grasses, particularly species that prefer warm, dry conditions. This liquid fertiliser enhances root strength by improving substrate aeration and soil activity, supporting long-term vigour. Amino acids stimulate root initiation and nutrient mobility, helping fountain grass regulate moisture efficiently, adapt to dry periods, and maintain dense, attractive growth throughout the season.

Enhanced Plume Quality, Colour Intensity, and Seasonal Performance

Organifer Fountain Grass Liquid Fertiliser enhances plume formation and colour intensity, helping Cenchrus setaceus deliver its characteristic late-summer flower display. Potassium supports plume strength and improved colour tones, while phosphorus encourages early bud initiation. Amino acids improve metabolic activity, resulting in fuller, more vibrant plumes. Plants grown with balanced nutrition produce longer-lasting inflorescences and richer seasonal texture in the landscape.

Improved Heat and Drought Resilience

Fountain grass thrives in warm, sunny environments and is naturally adapted to withstand dryness. This liquid fertiliser enhances drought tolerance by supporting strong cellular structure and efficient water regulation during hot periods. Plants maintain their arching form, bright colour, and plume production even when exposed to long periods of heat or minimal rainfall.

Ideal for Containers, Garden Borders, and Dry Landscapes

Organifer Fountain Grass Liquid Fertiliser is suitable for compact potted grasses, mixed perennial beds, mass plantings, and dry ornamental landscapes. The gentle, vinasse-free formulation supports long-term soil health, preventing salt accumulation and ensuring stable growth. Whether used as a specimen grass or in large drifts, the fertiliser enhances texture, colour, and overall decorative value.

Dosage

Number of applications: 2–4
Start: At early growth
Repeat: Every 3–4 weeks
Foliar spraying: 3–9 ml per 1 litre of water
Fertigation: 1–2 ml per 1 litre of water
Standard dose: 9–11 L per ha

Fountain grass performs best when planted in full sun, which maximises plume development and encourages strong, arching growth. Excessive nitrogen should be avoided, as it promotes weak, floppy foliage that cannot support the plant’s natural structure. Old foliage can be cut back in late winter or early spring to make way for vigorous new growth and a cleaner seasonal appearance. During establishment, regular watering is important, but once mature, fountain grass becomes naturally drought tolerant. High potassium improves stalk strength and enhances the colour and quality of the flowering plumes. Providing good air circulation around the plant reduces fungal pressure and supports healthy, long-lasting ornamental performance.

Storage

When stored under stable, frost-free conditions and protected from direct sunlight, this liquid fertiliser maintains its quality for an extended period. Closed containers preserve the formulation effectively, while any diluted solution should be used promptly to ensure optimal performance and purity.
