Feed vegetables, houseplants, roses, and trees from one bottle.
A gentle 5-1-1 fish emulsion that won't burn when used as directed.
Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1 is a liquid fish emulsion you dilute with water to feed almost anything you grow, from seedlings and houseplants to vegetables, roses, shrubs, and trees. It is a low-analysis organic feed, so it nourishes plants and the soil life around their roots without the heavy salt load that scorches tender growth. One bottle, every plant, all season.
- Heavy salt load scorches roots if you over-pour
- Feeds the plant, ignores the soil life
- Nutrients flush through fast, then they are gone
- Petroleum-derived, not allowed in organic gardens
- Sharp chemical smell in a closed room
- Easy to shock a seedling with the wrong dose
- Low salt load, will not burn at label rates
- Adds organic matter that feeds soil microbes too
- Quick-release and slow-release nitrogen together
- Fish-derived and OMRI Listed for organic gardens
- Deodorized, mild enough to use indoors
- Gentle on seedlings, transplants, and houseplants
Why a low-analysis 5-1-1 will not burn, and why one feeding lasts
Fertilizer burn happens when soluble salts around the roots pull water back out of the plant. Concentrated synthetic feeds carry a high salt load, so a heavy hand browns leaf tips and shocks tender seedlings. A 5-1-1 fish emulsion carries a small fraction of that salt, which is why the label rates leave a wide safety margin and why growers reach for it on young plants.
The nitrogen arrives in two forms. Most of it is water-soluble and available to the plant within days for a quick green-up, while a smaller slow-release fraction breaks down over the following weeks as soil microbes work on the fish-derived organic matter. That mix is why a single feeding holds for about three weeks instead of washing straight through the pot.
One nitrogen-forward feed for the whole grow Indoor and outdoor
The 5-1-1 ratio leans on nitrogen, the nutrient plants burn through fastest building stems and leaves, which is what makes it a sensible everyday feed rather than a single-purpose booster. You cover seed-starting through mature plants by changing the dose, not the bottle.
Deodorized with natural wintergreen
Raw fish emulsion is famous for the smell. Alaska deodorizes theirs with wintergreen, so it is mild enough to feed houseplants in a room you actually sit in.
Feeds the soil, not just the plant
Because it is real organic matter, it feeds the bacteria and fungi living around the roots. That biology is what converts nutrients into forms a plant can actually take up, so healthier soil life means more out of every feeding.
A concentrate that stretches a long way Gallon makes up to 128 gal
At the vegetable-garden rate, a single gallon mixes up to 128 gallons of feed, and even the quart handles a full season of houseplants. A little goes a long way at every dilution on the chart.
Gentle enough to start seedlings
Tender seedlings and fresh transplants are the first thing a strong synthetic feed will scorch. At the light end of the label rates, the low analysis gives young plants a mild nitrogen boost that thickens stems without shocking new roots.
Watering-can simple, no injector needed
No dosing pump or injector required. Shake the bottle, measure into a watering can, and pour. That simplicity is why it is a go-to for hand-watered beds and grow-tent hand-feeds alike.
Handling and source
Guaranteed by Lilly Miller Brands (Central Garden and Pet). Stabilized with sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Shake well before every use, as ingredients settle during storage, and do not store a solution you have already diluted.
How to mix and feed with Alaska Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1
Shake the bottle
Fish emulsion settles, so shake well before every pour to get an even mix. Only dilute what you plan to use that day.
Measure into your water
Match the concentrate to what you are feeding using the rate chart below. Indoor plants dose by the quart, outdoor beds and trees dose by the gallon.
Pour at the base
Water it in around the root zone until the soil is evenly moist, then water normally between feeds.
Feed again every three weeks
During the growing season, repeat on that three-week rhythm. That steady cadence is all most plants need.
