Default Fertilizers

What about the other 14 essential elements?

Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
Some people will buy products they do not understand and not buy books that
will give them understanding.

In choosing a fertilizer, is the overall ratio of N-P-K important or
the individual amounts of N, P, or K the sole qualifying factor?

For example, "Root Stimulators" have a high phosphorous but near-null
of N or K.

Another example: Bloom or leaf stimulators have a high amount of
nitrogen and little P or K. So is it the ratio of N to P to K? Or
amount of a single component N that makes the leaves grow and flowers
bloom?
