What Makes ALGOplus Natural Liquid Fertilizers Different From Typical Fertilizers?
Updated
ALGOplus differs from typical fertilizers mainly in its base material and what it leaves out: the site describes its liquid fertilizers as 100% mineral based, containing no chlorides or sodium, and being odorless, colorless, and environmentally safe. If you want a fertilizer you mix into your normal watering routine and you are trying to avoid chloride- or sodium-containing products, that combination is the main reason to consider it. If you need a product sold in Vermont, note the site states these products are not sold in the state of Vermont.
The core difference: mineral-based, without chlorides or sodium
Most fertilizer comparisons come down to what is in the bottle and what is deliberately excluded. According to the site, ALGOplus is built on a mineral base rather than the formulations many gardeners are used to, and it contains no chlorides or sodium.
That matters if you are choosing a fertilizer partly for what it does not add to your soil or water. The site presents these as defining features rather than incidental ones, listing them alongside the product's safety description.
What the site says it contains
- Macro nutrients — the site states the fertilizers contain macro nutrients.
- Trace elements — it also states they contain essential micro-nutrients.
- Three major elements — the site says the formula uses 3 major elements along with essential micro-nutrients to encourage rapid cell reproduction.
What the site says it does not contain
- No chlorides
- No sodium
How it is described: odorless, colorless, environmentally safe
The site describes ALGOplus as odorless, colorless, and environmentally safe. These are practical differences if you are applying fertilizer indoors, in containers, or in a space where smell and residue matter.
The site frames this as part of the product's overall character rather than a single feature — the same sentence that covers the mineral base also covers the absence of chlorides and sodium and the odorless, colorless, environmentally safe description.
How it is meant to work
The site says ALGOplus encourages rapid cell reproduction using 3 major elements plus essential micro-nutrients, and that this is tied to increasing yields. The site's own language is promotional — it says the fertilizers have "revolutionized the growing of flowers, vegetables, and landscapes" and increase yields "at rates that are almost unbelievable."
Treat those as the company's claims rather than independently verified results. What is concrete and checkable from the site is the stated composition and the stated absence of chlorides and sodium.
How you use it
The site says ALGOplus is very easy to use: you mix it in with your usual water. That is the whole stated method — no separate application equipment or special schedule is described on the page.
If you already water on a routine, the intended workflow is to add the product to that water rather than replace your watering practice.
Where to buy and what is available
The site points to an online store with a shopping cart, described as revamped to make finding, selecting, and buying ALGOplus products simpler. Product categories listed include:
| Category |
|---|
| Vegetable Garden Products |
| Flower Garden Products |
| Container Garden Products |
| Lawn & Landscape Products |
| Irrigation Solutions |
| Garden Kits |
| Specials |
The site also mentions wholesale options (wholesale garden fertilizers and wholesale hydroponics) and a Retail Partners page. It notes that Rose, Tomato, Geranium, and Balcony Plants or Flowering Plant formulas are on sale, with more savings on the Specials page.
The site does not publish prices on the page described here, so check the online store for current pricing and availability.
When ALGOplus is a reasonable fit — and when it is not
Consider it if:
- You want a liquid fertilizer you mix into your regular watering.
- Avoiding chlorides and sodium in your fertilizer matters to you.
- You prefer an odorless, colorless product for containers, indoor growing, or close-to-home garden beds.
- You are buying within the United States outside Vermont.
Look elsewhere if:
- You are in Vermont — the site states the products are not sold there.
- You need verified, independent yield data rather than company claims.
- You need published pricing before deciding; the page described here does not include it.
The bottom line
The distinguishing features, as stated by the site, are a 100% mineral base, no chlorides or sodium, an odorless, colorless, environmentally safe profile, macro nutrients plus trace elements, and a simple mix-with-water application. Whether that matters to you depends on how much you care about excluding chloride and sodium and about a low-odor, low-residue liquid format — and on whether you are shopping outside Vermont.
