Can someone decide for me which of these to buy because I really don't know enough about fertilisers.
All my plants are small so I want grow, especially branches and leaves.
I translated these into English, please someone choose one (or two) for me

BIOHUMUS Extra for herbs (liquid) NPK (mg/l) 700, 300, 350 +CaO 1000, MgO 200
BIOHUMUS Extra for orchids (liquid) NPK (mg/l) 600, 360, 320 +CaO 1300, MgO 250
BIOHUMUS Extra universal (liquid) NPK (mg/l) 700, 300, 300 +CaO 1100, MgO 200
FLOROVIT surfinia (liquid) NPK 6, 6, 6 also contains boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc.
FLOROVIT for strawberries (granules) NPK 15, 10, 20.5 +Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn
FLOROVIT for grapes (granules) NPK 15, 10, 20.5 +Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn

It's like asking:

You guys have lots of experience with making whiskey.
Can you tell me what kind of grapes I should ?

I've never heard of these fertilizers.

If I HAVE to choose, I'd not use liquid fertilizer (not saying you cannot use it, it's just my choice).
I would probably choose:

FLOROVIT for strawberries (granules) NPK 15, 10, 20.5 +Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn
FLOROVIT for grapes (granules) NPK 15, 10, 20.5 +Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Zn

(they look identical to me)

From the liquid ones I would choose:

BIOHUMUS Extra universal (liquid) NPK (mg/l) 700, 300, 300 +CaO 1100, MgO 200

Maybe I'd buy both (because of the difference in NPK values - but also because I like using different fertlizers).

In reality though, I wouldn't buy either of them. Don't they have something organic? Or Osmocote?

Perfect thanks, pretty much what I was thinking but just wanted a more educated opinion.
They're the only choices I have at the moment but I'll have a look for an organic one thanks.
