hydrangea fertilizer question (lemmy.world)

I recently bought fertilizer for my tea plant. The recommended fertilizer was for hydrangea and Rhododendron. I tried googling other plants that would benefit from the same fertilizer but google wasn't much help.

Anyone know what other plants would benefit from the fertilizer?

Try to find the NPK ratio of your fertilizer somewhere on the packaging . N is nitrogen, P is phosphor and K is potassium, so these numbers give you the respective contents of your fertilizer for the 3 most important nutrients for plants.

Then try to google the optimal NPK ratios for other plants you might have. If it's close enough to your fertilizer's ratio, it should work fine for those plants too.
