A competing line of thought is that the last number, potassium, is the best element for blooming. Overall, most experts will tell you that even numbers of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are best such as 13-13-13, etc.
Additionally, the Plumeria101 site recommends the pea gravel on top, which I already explained the hazards of above to Jarred. Just FYI.
