Indoor Plant Food
Indoor plant food with a gentle 3-1-2 NPK, kelp, and nine added minerals — made to feed every houseplant with every watering. Higher nitrogen fuels leaves and steady new growth, while calcium, magnesium, and micronutrients prevent the slow decline potted plants hit when soil nutrients run out.
How to Use
| Method | Amount | How Often |
|---|---|---|
| Watering can | 1 tsp per quart (32 oz) of water | Spring & summer: every 1–2 weeks |
| Watering can | Same dilution | Fall & winter: every 4 weeks |
| Leaf misting (optional) | ½ tsp per pint (16 oz) of water | Every 1–2 weeks |
Mix into your normal watering — no separate feeding routine needed.
What's Inside
The 3-1-2 ratio (3% nitrogen, 1% phosphate, 2% potash) mirrors the ratio researchers have found foliage plants actually consume — nitrogen-forward for leaf production, without the excess phosphorus most soils never use. Over half the nitrogen is nitrate nitrogen, the form roots absorb directly, which means faster response and lower burn risk than cheap ammonium-heavy formulas.
Beyond NPK: sea kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) for natural growth compounds, plus calcium (1%), magnesium (0.5%), iron, boron, copper, manganese, and zinc — the micronutrients that prevent pale leaves, weak stems, and stalled growth in long-potted plants.
Made For
Every common houseplant: pothos, philodendron, monstera, snake plants, ZZ plants, ferns, dracaena, palms, peace lilies, and mixed collections. One bottle feeds the whole shelf.
Problems It Solves
- Pale or yellowing leaves on plants that haven't been fed in months
- Slow or stopped growth in plants potted over a year
- Small new leaves that never reach mature size
- Leggy, stretched growth paired with weak stems
FAQs
How often should I fertilize my indoor plants?
Feed houseplants every 1–2 weeks during spring and summer, and every 4 weeks in fall and winter. Diluting fertilizer into your regular watering (1 tsp per quart) keeps nutrition steady without buildup — plants respond better to small consistent feeding than occasional heavy doses.
Will this burn my plants?
No — at the directed dilution, the gentle 3-1-2 formula is designed for every-watering use. Nitrate-based nitrogen and low salt concentration make burn very unlikely. If you're feeding delicate or recently repotted plants, start at half strength for the first two feedings.
Can I use it on all my houseplants?
Yes. The balanced houseplant ratio suits pothos, philodendron, ferns, palms, snake plants, and virtually all common indoor plants. Plants with specialized needs — orchids, succulents, carnivorous plants — do better with their dedicated TPS formulas.
When will I see results?
Most plants respond within the first couple of weeks of regular feeding — customers commonly report greener, fuller plants in that window, and drooping plants often perk up within days. Long-starved plants keep improving over a full season of steady feeding.
Does it have a smell?
No strong odor — it pours as a light brown liquid and mixes clear into water, so you can feed plants in living spaces without a lingering fertilizer smell. A little goes a long way: at 1 tsp per quart, even the 8 oz bottle lasts months.
