nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (also known as potash).
example: 5-10-5 is 5% nitrogen, 10% phosphorus and 5% potassium (potash).
The remaining 80% is filler.
Nitogen - for rapid growth and green leaves
Phosphorus - for root growth and develop strudy plants and flowering
Potassium - for new cell growth, roots and buds
