Keep it in a plastic bag. Away from pets.
The product works great but the pump leaks and I have pets I'm now worried about. I woke up to what looks like a crime scene in my bathroom directly before the pump which had formed some kind of vacuum seal and was dripping out onto the floor.

    Smells Awful and Molded
    I only bought this because there were no other succulent foods in stock. Immediately after I used it, I hated the smell but assumed it would dissipate within a few hours. It didn’t. For two days, the smell just kept getting worse. When I checked my plants this morning, mold had started growing on the food. I now have to repot 8 plants before this nasty stuff kills them. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS. Find a plant food that absorbs into soil and doesn’t sit on the surface.

      Great for getting Dragon Fruit Cactuses to bloom
      Used a few pumps of this on my Dragon Fruits a few weeks ago, and bam! - I have a ton of flowers, and one ripening fruit on the way already. This stuff works like a charm.

        Expired product kills plants!
        This product was sold to me over 1.5 years over the expiration date. I didn't realize until after I used it on my plants and a few days later, white mold was growing over the surface of my soil and killed a few of my plants before I could catch it! Beyond killing my plants, the product smelled terrible and leaked/spurted out everywhere after usage. I got a refund because this was terrible!!!

          I'm using the Dr. Earth succulent pump and grow plant food on my baby cactus and other succulents. I grew my first cactus from seeds recently and they have been slow to grow so I'm testing out this plant food. It's a concentrate that you pump right onto the soil surface and use water to activate and help run through the soil to get to the plant roots. Since my plant is small I mix with water first and then put it on the soil around the base of my cactus. The plant food is derived from digested food materials and digested food by products. If your looking for information regarding the contents and levels of metals in the product it's available on the internet at http://wwwaapfo.org/metals.html I would like to add that when opening the pump bottle for the first time make sure you are over a sink or protected surface as I had some leakage from the pump when I first opened it. I secured the nozzle and it's fine now but the product is a very dark liquid and might stain.

          Dr. Earth Succulent Organic Concentrate arrived promptly and was packaged very well in peanuts, wrapped in plastic, as well as the bottle having security shrink wrap on it to prevent leakage. After unlocking the pump, it worked very well. Only a small amount of this concentrate of NPK 1-1-2 was needed for my potted succulents. Instructions advise to pump onto soil and water, or water later. i like that it is organic and pet safe and the premix is easy to use. Plants seemed to be a little more colorful after a few days of use. This bottle should last for quite some time.

          I prefer organic plant foods as being safer for my plants, yard, and pets. Dr. Earth is an easy pump jar. I can use it on all the cactus and succulents and follow up with watering once I finish feeding all the plants. All my plants are responding very well to the food, too! My only caution is that this product is made from food grade proteins and my greyhound finds the smell very interesting. If I'm too slow watering, she digs up the plants to examine the smell.

          This is an excellent product, but I always have to go back to the store to get the plunger going. Maybe it is is poor design for the viscosity of the the device. Once it is open, it works fine. I thing the product (fertilizer) itself is great.

          This is a wonderful product. The only problem is the pump bottle. I can never get the pump to work without some struggle.

          I wasn't pleased. It said the pump onto dirt and then pour water over it. All it did was grow white/grey fuzzy stuff where I had pumped it on. :-(

          I would give it excellent but the pump mechanism on bottle is horrible. I have to take it off to pour.However the product itself is great.
