When you say something is "paid off", it means that it is very successful. In this video, Blossom is saying that the easy way, which is to mix different fertilizers, ended up very successful. Here are some examples of "paid off" Ex: I lost 10kg in a month, so I guess the protein diet really paid off. Ex: This summer really paid off. I did 2 months of internship, I went traveling around different places, and I got a new girlfriend.
