Can switching to organic fertilizer kill plants?
I just moved into a house with a lemon tree and some oleanders. I bought some organic fertilizer for them, but my boyfriend told me that switching from chemical to organic fertilizer can kill plants. I don’t know why this would be the case, but I wanted to double check before I fertilize them.

Actually the organic fertilizer is safer for the plants then the chemical. Organic fertilizers are typically slow release whereas the chemical is instant and powerful. So to answer your question you have nothing to fear.
I don’t know what led him to think that… Your plants will be better off with the organic! Like any fertilizer, don’t put too much on at first, a quarter to half what it says on the packet. Some plants like Daphne shrubs will drop dead at the slightest change, but oleanders and lemons are so tough that you probably couldn’t kill them if you hacked them to the ground, let alone switched fertilizer…Lol
Enjoy them!
