I have a 1/4 full bottle of "Leaf Zone" aquarium plant food by Aquarium Pharmecuticals, however, it has been around for quite some time. I'm not sure exactly how old it is though as a got it from someone else. My question is do these products expire or lose their effectiveness over time? For reference the ingredients are:
Soluble Potash 3.00%
Iron 0.10%

I also did not notice an expiry date on the bottle.

the chemicals used to feed plants for the most part are pretty stable, Iron may oxidize in some conditions but the rest don't change over time.

It should be good
