“Florikan’s commitment to the environment establishes the company as a leader in the Horticulture Industry by developing products that reduce nutrient inputs and run-off...The reduction of nutrient run-off to the Gulf of Mexico is a significant challenge. Together, the Southeastern Nursery Industry and Florikan are meeting this challenge through the use of Best Management Practices and environmentally-sound growing methods.”
Jimmy Palmer
Regional Administrator Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) “Florikan continues to be an industry leader in the development and sales of products which allow growers to minimize potential environmental impacts while continuing to produce horticultural products consumers know and expect from Florida growers.”
James R. Spratt
Director of Environmental Policy Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA) “Florikan’s award-winning fertilizer products provide plants with time targeted nutrients in a single application, saving growers time, labor and money. The products also protect the environment from excess applications and excessive runoff of nitrogen and phosphorous.”
Stefan Jaeger, CAE
Senior Director, Strategic Development and Planning National Society of Professional Engineers “We buy from Florikan because of the reliability and good service. They provide valuable resources and a wide choice of specialized fertilizers. Florikan always works with us and their reps are the most helpful I know. They are very willing to answer questions and the Technical Product Guide (TPG) is a great tool. They are environmental minded and try to stay on top of the latest trends.”
Bryan Gilde
Highlands Greenhouses “Florikan is one of the absolute most innovative and visionary companies in the country, not only in horticulture but also in business in general. Florikan were among the very first to see the benefit and potential of a new Japanese controlled release fertilizer, actual implementation of integrated pest management (IPM), organic pesticides, reduced fertilizer run-off, and spray tank pH adjustment for maximum pesticide efficiency.”
Lynn Griffith
A&L Southern Agricultural Laboratories “A good company will always stand 110% behind their product....Florikan stands 111%.”
Bobby Lee
Superior Foliage “From one of the most comprehensive catalogs and websites in the industry, to well-informed sales representatives always willing to go the extra mile for their customers, Florikan has become the benchmark for customer service and innovation. Our growers rely on the consistent quality and value of all of the products Costa Farms purchases from Florikan.”
Jose Costa
Costa Nursery Farms “I don’t do testimonials. The reason, I don’t believe in them. There are too many variables in our business, too many intangibles; test everything. So when Florikan asked me to do this, I had to think about it. And this is my opinion; Florikan provides great products, wonderful service, and terrific support. But don’t believe me, convince yourself.”
William Bodnaruk
Jon’s Nursery “Your company is DEPENDABLE 24/7. Whatever our needs, you are there. We know you are always there for our industry; donating time, technology, effort, and finances. During the hurricane last year, you sent us a generator and other supplies. Thank you Florikan!’’
Mike Hollern
K & M Nursery “Florikan has, and continues to be, a positive influence in our industry through the fine quality products, excellent service, technical support, and willingness to reach out to the nurseries in time of crisis. We wish Florikan many more years of success.”

“With Florikan fertilizer, no amount of rain is going to release it. The day you put the fertilizer down, if you have 5 inches of rain, you’re not going to lose it to leaching. And, if you use standard fertilizer, you probably would have lost the whole application. With so many factors affecting production in ways I cannot control, I am glad I can control my fertilizer.’’
Mark Dean
PalmCo “Florikan has the most comprehensive and technologically advanced product line to meet all our criteria for what we expect from a fertilizer. Their products consistently provide excellent results.”
Richard Gallant
Alpha Botanicals “Describe what you need, and Florikan can provide a product. Florikan has any product you need, or can make it, if needed. I have used Nutricote from the beginning; it provides our nursery with excellent color, quality, and consistency of plants.”
David Hyatt
Panoramic Nursery 2005 SNA Environmental Leadership Award Winner “Florikan has helped me simplify our production methods by supplying us with the best products in the industry. The consistent performance of Florikan’s products has played a major role in establishing our reputation for high quality liners and plants.”
Maarten Van der Giessen
Van der Giessen Nursery “Producing the highest quality plants available is critical to our business and using the best horticultural supplies from Florikan enable us to keep the edge over our competition. The Florikan staff provides top shelf personal attention that compliments their high quality products.”
Jimmy Howell
Gary Howell Nursery “Florikan and Nutricote means no worries in our fertilizer program ...I don’t have to worry about inconsistent growth or deficiency problems that I have seen with other products.”
Brad May
May Nursery “We recently tried a less expensive product, but switched back to Nutricote for consistency and longevity. We won’t make that mistake again.”
Doug Barber
Flora Express “Florikan Nutricote is without a doubt, the best fertilizer on the market. It is the most consistent time release fertilizer out there. We use it on everything at our nursery. It actually saves us money as opposed to our old fertilizer.”
Doug Lancaster
Lancaster Trees and Shrubs “Florikan fertilizer has become an essential tool in our production of plants at Farm Life.”
Jason Lyden
Farm Life Tropical Foliage “With other fertilizers, heavy rain caused minor elements to leach; this lead to yellowing plants that could not be sold. Nutricote has prevented this from happening. Nutricote has saved me on labor and our grow time on container plants has decreased.”
Roger Flothan
Abbey View Nursery “The Florikan fertilizer product is consistent and very efficient. It saves labor/application time, which saves money. Other competitive products did not last long enough and plant growth was inconsistent. Our crops are ready faster and larger than competitors. Our crops are more pest resistant and they finish all at the same time.”
Matthew Wise
Wise Nursery “I have tried other fertilizers in the past and they all fall short. Nutricote provides increased longevity giving me greener, consistently saleable, plants at all times. Nothing else comes close to the quality. I find that Nutricote is the only product that will last.”
Mike Wolfe
Muse Hill Nursery “I save time and money thanks to the longevity I get, and have come to expect, from Nutricote. I see the quality of Florikan products every time I drive through my nursery or see my finished plants sell. Day in and day out, Florikan fertilizers get the job done. There are no surprises!”
Clyde Holloway
Holloway’s Nursery “Florikan has provided a fertilizer product that will last longer than any product on the market. I rarely apply secondary top dress applications because of the longevity I receive from Nutricote. My plants always have great color. The quality of service and dependability of products is what keeps me loyal to Florikan.”
Laney Strange
Mid State Nursery “I buy from Florikan for the quality of their fertilizer. Our plants are greener than the competition. The chelated Iron inside every prill makes for better color. Plants that become chlorotic don’t; and as a result, sell much better because of superior color.”
Lanny Thomas
Swift Creek “We feel Nutricote is the best product on the market. It has a good, steady, predictable release. Our overall color is better and there are no ups or downs in the release rate, so we only have to feed once. Our plants hold up better with our customers once they leave our nursery.”
