If you already know it, this is an opportunity to find out more, but if you haven’t had the pleasure yet, it’s time to introduce yourself 😉
Why it is necessary to fertilize plants
Before we get into the presentations, however, it is essential to understand why it is necessary to fertilize a plant. The question is: would you ever leave your 4-legged friend without food? Of course not.
Here, for plants, fertilizer is the same thing as it represents their form of nutrition.
A well-nourished and vigorous plant is also much more resistant to attacks parasites, diseases and abiotic stresses.
In general, fertilizers should always be used because, as we were saying, they are the food of our plants, although excellent substrates can be used, they often do not contain elements that can be assimilated by the plant, so fertilizing is essential.
Asso di Fiori is complete, with high NPK titles, which guarantees the plants harmonious growth, especially in terms of development of new green parts, resistance and, above all, having a high percentage of potassium, in flowering plants there will be vigorous flowering and in fruit or vegetable plants it guarantees greater fruiting. Furthermore, potassium also affects the flavor and taste of fruit and vegetables.
What is Ace of Clubs
Asso di Fiori is Cifo’s best-known product, it is a company specialty. It is a fertilizer that is used to nourish plants, it is complete with both macro and micro elements. Being a complete fertilizer it can be used on any type of plant: green, flowering, horticultural, fruit plants and even on turf.
What Asso di Fiori contains
It is a mineral-based fertilizer, therefore it contains macro and micro elements. Among the macro elements, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are found in a balanced form, all at 20%, and it is this that makes Asso di Fiori useful for all types of plants.
Furthermore there is manganese and iron in chelated form. “Chelated form” refers to a different form of the chemical element, precisely in the shape of a claw, which makes it totally assimilable by the plant unlike other chemical conformations of the same molecules.
At what times of the year to use Asso di Fiori
In general it can be used throughout the year, however it is particularly effective if used during the vegetative growth, i.e. from March until the plant is dormant, therefore more or less October. Of course, however, you always have to evaluate depending on the plant on which you want to use the product.
The symbolism of the label
The product packaging helps us to underline the pluses of this fertilizer, in particular we find three symbols which mean:
- Complete nutrition: having all the essential macro and micro elements guarantees 360° fertilization;

- Originality: guarantees the originality of the product being a Cifo specialty. There are other products on the market similar to Asso di Fiori, but this workhorse leads and remains in the lead thanks to the purity of the raw materials used for its composition.
How to administer Asso di Fiori
Asso di Fiori can be used in three different ways, all equally functional:
- Irrigationinserting the product into the wetting water. The radical dilution doses are up to the first line of the measuring cup for approximately 2l of water;
- For foliar routethen using a spray bottle directly on the leaves;
- as it islike any granular fertilizer, with the direct application of the powder to the soil, following the doses on the label. If used in the flowerbed, it is recommended to bury it to prevent the dust from being carried away by the air.
Generally speaking, on turf, to obtain an optimal result, the foliar method is recommended as the dilution is much more concentrated, while on potted plants, diffusion as is can be used both for yield and convenience.
The foliar route is also particularly suitable for plants in hydroculture. Furthermore, this type of administration can also be combined with biostimulants such as Algatron and Sinergon, but products for the defense of the plant such as propolis, soft soap, linseed oil against cochineal, etc. can also be combined at the same time.
