plant food
Soil nutrition supplement
Plant food is fertilizer—nutrients added to soil or water to help plants grow: I need to get some plant food for my tomatoes.
The term appears on commercial products and in casual gardening talk, often interchangeable with fertilizer though sometimes implying a gentler, more accessible product for houseplants and home gardens.
