If you read the sticky at the top of the Plant page it will tell you how and where to get all the ferts you will need. For the situation you describe small amounts of fertilization is all that is necessary.
After reading it you will probably have more questions, which is good, because that's how you learn.
You have an ideal situation for a low light tank. One of my tanks is exactly the same except I juiced it up a bit with CO2. CO2 is not necessary if you just want a slow growing planted tank with a minimum of work.
Hopefully you're 'regular gravel' is fairly fine(not too big in diameter) so that the roots can anchor into it.
I'm not sure what 'Florapride' contains. Is a Trace Mineral food or more complete?

says it supplys iron and potassium
my gravel is a bit bigger than it should be but it compacts well, so the roots should be ok i hope
