Compost/Manure/Fertilizer

I live in Banaswadi area, Bangalore. I have 20×20 ground floor area available for gardening. A few months back, I got the earlier soil excavated up to 16 inches and refilled it with a mix of red soil and cocopit (coconut husk). I planted a few flowering plants, but I do not see proper growth. I think that nutrients are missing. What kind of nutrients I should use? Any compost/manure/fertilizer that I should use? I would prefer natural remedies for the same. Please guide me for this. Thanks!
