Arauco,

Stern's Miracid is composed of the following: 30% N (nitrogen) (3%
Ammoniacal Nitrogen, 27% Urea Nitrogen); 10% Phosphoric Acid (P2O5); and
10% Soluble Potash (K2O). Trace elements are 0.02% Boron (B); 0.07%
Copper (Cu); 0.325% Iron (Fe); 0.19% Manganese (Mn); 0.0005% Molybdenum
(Mo); and 0.07% Zinc (Zn).

I would be careful with Miracid if you decide to use it as I have read that
urea can burn cp roots very easily. You might be better off with a
slow-release fertilizer such as fish emulsion, bone meal, or dried blood.
Keep in mind the fish emulsion and dried blood smell terrible and I would
recommend using them only on plants kept outdoors.

Hope this helps!

Best,
