Collection: Houseplant Care Essentials

Plant Juice is ideal for houseplants because it's gentle enough for container growing while providing complete nutrition. Unlike synthetic fertilizers that can burn roots in confined spaces, Plant Juice contains 250+ beneficial microbes that create healthy soil biology and provide slow-release nutrition that won't harm sensitive indoor plants.

Use 2 oz per gallon of dechlorinated water every 7-14 days during growing season (spring/summer) and monthly during fall/winter.

Fertilize houseplants every 7-14 days during active growing season (March through September) and monthly during dormant season (October through February). Consistency is more important than exact timing - regular small applications work better than occasional large doses.

Growing season: Plant Juice every 7-14 days
Dormant season: Monthly applications
Flowering plants: Add Bloom Juice when blooms appear

Plant Juice is perfect for general houseplant care - it promotes healthy foliage, strong roots, and overall plant vigor. Use it year-round for most houseplants.

Bloom Juice is specifically formulated for flowering houseplants like orchids, African violets, or blooming tropicals. It contains specialized nutrients and microbes that trigger blooming and support flower production.

Best approach: Use Plant Juice as your regular fertilizer, then switch to Bloom Juice when you want to encourage flowering.

Yes, liquid fertilizer is much better for houseplants because:

• Faster absorption - plants can use nutrients immediately
• Even distribution - no hot spots that can burn roots
• Better for containers - nutrients reach all root areas
• Easier to control - precise dilution prevents over-feeding
• Works with watering routine - fertilize while you water

Liquid fertilizers like Plant Juice also introduce beneficial microbes that granular fertilizers can't provide.

Most houseplant deaths come from:

1. Overwatering (most common) - leads to root rot
2. Poor drainage - water sits in bottom of pots
3. Inconsistent care - irregular watering/feeding
4. Wrong light conditions - too little or too much light
5. Poor soil - old potting soil becomes compacted

Solutions: Use well-draining All-Purpose Soil Mix, water only when top inch is dry, feed consistently with Plant Juice, and choose plants appropriate for your light conditions.

Finger test: Stick your finger 1-2 inches into the soil. If it's dry, it's time to water. If it's still moist, wait a few more days.

General guidelines:

• Most houseplants: Water when top 1-2 inches of soil are dry
• Succulents: Wait until soil is completely dry
• Tropicals: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy
• Winter: Reduce watering frequency as growth slows

Pro tip: Water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, then empty the saucer after 30 minutes.

Yes! You can apply our liquid fertilizers as a foliar feed directly to plant leaves. Foliar application guidelines: - Use a more diluted solution: 2 ml per liter of water - Apply early morning or evening to avoid leaf burn - Can be used as often as every other day if needed - Great for quick nutrient uptake and stressed plants

All-Purpose Soil Mix is ideal for most houseplants because it provides:

• Excellent drainage to prevent root rot
• Beneficial microbes for healthy root development
• Organic matter that feeds plants slowly
• Proper pH balance for most houseplant varieties
• Long-lasting nutrition without compacting

Special cases:

• Tropical plants (Monstera, Philodendron): Use Aroid Mix for extra drainage
• Succulents: Need extremely well-draining soil
• Orchids: Require specialized orchid bark mix

Light needs vary by plant type:

Low light plants (Snake plants, ZZ plants, Pothos):

• 3-6 feet from north-facing window
• Can tolerate artificial light
• Perfect for offices and darker rooms

Medium light plants (Most houseplants):

• 2-4 feet from east/west window
• Bright, indirect light
• Most popular houseplants fall in this category

High light plants (Succulents, Fiddle Leaf Figs):

• Near south-facing windows
• Some direct morning sun OK
• May need grow lights in winter

Signs of wrong light: Stretching/leaning = too little; burned/brown leaves = too much

Yellow leaves usually indicate:

Most common causes:

1. Overwatering - soggy soil prevents root breathing
2. Underwatering - plant is drought-stressed
3. Poor nutrition - plant needs consistent feeding
4. Natural aging - older leaves yellow and drop normally

Solutions:

• Check drainage - ensure pots have holes and soil drains well
• Adjust watering - water only when top inch of soil is dry
• Feed consistently - apply Plant Juice every 7-14 days
• Improve soil - repot with fresh All-Purpose Soil Mix if soil is old/compacted

Yes! Plant Perfection is safe for all houseplants when used as directed. It's made from natural ingredients and provides:

• Pest control - repels and kills soft-bodied insects
• Leaf cleaning - removes dust and hard water spots
• Natural shine - makes leaves look healthy and vibrant
• Safe ingredients - no harsh chemicals harmful to plants or indoor air

How to use: Spray on leaves monthly, wiping with soft cloth if needed. Safe around children and pets when used as directed.

Try it on one leaf first and then wait 24 hours to ensure your plant tolerates Plant Perfection well.

Most houseplants prefer 40-60% humidity, but average homes are 20-40%:

Signs of low humidity:

• Brown, crispy leaf edges
• Leaves curling or dropping
• Increased pest problems (spider mites love dry air)
• Slow growth despite good care

Increase humidity:

• Group plants together - they create micro-humidity zones
• Pebble trays - place pots on trays of wet pebbles
• Bathroom placement - naturally higher humidity
• Humidifier - most effective for large plant collections
• Avoid misting - can cause fungal problems

Humidity-loving plants: Ferns, orchids, Calatheas, most tropicals

Yes, but transition gradually to prevent shock:

Gradual transition (over 1-2 weeks):

• Start in shaded, protected area
• Gradually increase outdoor exposure
• Monitor for sunburn (brown/white patches on leaves)
• Bring in if temperatures drop below 50°F

Summer outdoor care:

• More frequent watering (heat and wind dry soil faster)
• Continue Plant Juice every 7-10 days
• Watch for new pests - inspect before bringing back inside
• Provide protection from harsh afternoon sun

Bring back inside: Before nighttime temperatures reach 50°F consistently

Coverage depends on collection size and application frequency:

32 oz bottle of Plant Juice:

• Makes up to 32 gallons of diluted fertilizer
• Small collection (5-10 plants): 4-6 months
• Medium collection (10-20 plants): 2-3 months
• Large collection (20+ plants): 1-2 months

Usage rate: 2 oz per gallon every 7-14 days during growing season

Cost per application: Less than $0.25 per plant per feeding - extremely economical compared to other organic fertilizers.
