Balanced, non-acidic, slow-release granular and organic mulch describe the types of fertilizer to use for pentas. The woody plant in question (Pentas lanceolata) responds to a springtime application of 13-13-13 sulfur-free NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizer and a 2-inch (5.08-centimeter) layer of organic mulch whose nutrients will infiltrate and percolate the soil during rainfall events and supplemental watering of moist, well-drained soil. Fertilizer may need to be applied every 6 to 8 weeks for sensitive pentas on troubled sites or in the fall.
