What’s In It?

Our Nutrient-Rich Composition

Our Organic Houseplant Food contains a wide variety of nutrients that plants need for healthy growth. These include:

• Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (N-P-K): These are the primary macronutrients required for houseplant health. Nitrogen helps with leaf and stem growth, phosphorus aids in root development and flowering, and potassium supports overall plant health and disease resistance.
• Micronutrients: Our formulation is packed with essential trace elements like iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and boron, which support various biochemical processes in plants.
• Vitamins and Amino Acids: Our Organic Houseplant Food contains vitamins like B12, A, and C, and amino acids which help stimulate healthy growth and contribute to robust plant immunity.

Our product’s rich nutritional profile ensures that houseplants stay vibrant, green, and strong, with healthy root systems that promote sustained growth.

Natural Growth Stimulating Hormones

The Shropshire Seaweed Company’s Organic Houseplant Food is rich in natural plant growth hormones, particularly auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins. These growth hormones are key to:

• Encouraging Cell Division: Cytokinins promote cell division and encourage lush, bushy growth, which leads to fuller, healthier plants.
• Enhanced Root Growth: Auxins help stimulate root growth and development, allowing the plant to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil.
• Promoting Flowering Production: Gibberellins help those houseplants that do flower, more regularly and ensure vibrancy.

These hormones lead to stronger, more resilient plants that are better equipped to handle stressors like low light or changes in indoor temperature, keeping them green and thriving.

What It Does.

Our Organic Houseplant food doesn’t just nourish the plant, it also improves soil health. Our product contains polysaccharides and organic matter that stimulate beneficial microbial activity in the soil. Microbes play a critical role in breaking down organic matter, making nutrients more available to plants, and improving soil structure. This leads to:

• Better Nutrient Absorption: Healthy soil means that plants can access more nutrients, which contributes to their overall health and vitality.
• Increased Moisture Retention: Helps the soil retain moisture, which is particularly important for indoor plants that may dry out due to central heating or air conditioning.
• Soil Aeration: Improved soil structure also allows for better aeration, ensuring that the roots get the oxygen they need to thrive.

 Disease Resistance and Stress Tolerance

Our Organic Houseplant Food improves the resilience of indoor plants against common stresses, such as pests, diseases, and environmental changes. This happens through:

• Strengthened Plant Immunity: The micronutrients and trace elements in our product strengthen the plant’s natural immune system, helping it resist fungal infections, mold, and pests.
• Reduced Transplant Shock: When repotting or moving plants, our Organic Houseplant Food can reduce the shock that plants experience, allowing them to adjust quickly to their new environment.
• Better Stress Adaptation: The Shropshire Seaweed Company’s Organic Houseplant Food can help plants tolerate lower light conditions and inconsistent watering, common challenges for indoor plants. It improves the plant’s internal water regulation, keeping it hydrated and lush even when conditions fluctuate.

Promotes Greener, Lusher Foliage

Houseplants treated with our Organic Houseplant Food are more likely to develop greener, healthier foliage due to the high chlorophyll content that our product helps to stimulate. Chlorophyll is responsible for the deep green colour in plants, and the nutrients in our product, particularly iron and magnesium, are vital for chlorophyll production. This results in:

• Brighter, More Vibrant Leaves: Plants will appear greener and more vibrant, which enhances the aesthetic appeal of indoor spaces.
• Healthier Photosynthesis: With improved chlorophyll production, plants become more efficient at photosynthesis, leading to stronger growth and healthier leaves that are less likely to yellow or wilt.

Additional Features.

Natural Deodoriser for Indoor Spaces

Our organic product doesn’t contain harsh chemical odours often associated with synthetic houseplant products. In fact, our product acts as mild natural deodorisers:

• Odor-Free Plant Care: our product is naturally mild in scent and, when applied properly, don’t leave behind strong, unpleasant smells. This makes them perfect for indoor use, where you want to avoid harsh chemical odours.
• Improved Air Quality: Healthy, thriving plants can contribute to improved indoor air quality. By promoting plant growth and vitality, our Organic Houseplant Food indirectly help plants absorb more carbon dioxide and release oxygen, making the air feel fresher and cleaner.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly

Our product contains renewable resources, making it an environmentally friendly option for plant care. Its production has minimal environmental impact compared to synthetic products, and it breaks down naturally in soil, leaving no harmful residues.

 
Application and Use

Seaweed fertilizer is versatile and easy to apply. It comes in various forms, such as liquid concentrates, powders, or granules, making it suitable for a variety of indoor plants. When using seaweed fertilizer:

• Liquid Seaweed: Can be diluted and used as a foliar spray or soil drench. Foliar spraying allows the plant to absorb nutrients directly through its leaves.
• Powdered or Granulated Seaweed: Can be mixed into potting soil or sprinkled on top of the soil to gradually release nutrients over time.

 
When and How to Use.

The frequency of applying our product to your houseplants depends on the plant's growth stage. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Applying as a Foliar Spray and Soil Feed

• Every 2 to 3 weeks: For most indoor plants, applying our product every 2 to 3 weeks is optimal. It provides a regular boost of nutrients without overwhelming the plant.
• During Active Growth Periods (Spring and Summer): When plants are in their growth phase, they need more nutrients. Apply our product every 1 to 2 weeks to support vigorous growth.
• During Dormancy (Fall and Winter): In cooler months when plants tend to grow more slowly, reduce the frequency to once every 3 weeks. Some indoor plants may not need any at all during their dormant phase, so adjust based on how active your plants are.

Foliar Application (Spraying Leaves)

• Weekly: If using as a foliar spray (applying directly to the leaves), spray it every week. Regular light foliar feeding helps plants absorb nutrients quickly through their leaves, and it's particularly effective for plants showing signs of nutrient deficiencies.

 
Special Considerations

• New or Recently Transplanted Plants: Use our Organic Houseplant Food immediately after transplanting to reduce transplant shock and help the plant establish healthy roots.
• High-Demand Plants (Flowering or Fruiting Plants): For plants that flower or fruit indoors, you may need to apply our product more frequently (every 4 to 5 days) during their blooming or fruiting phase.
• Sensitive or Low-Need Plants (Succulents, Cacti): These plants don’t require as much feeding. Apply our product less often, around once every 4 to 5 weeks, or reduce the concentration when feeding.

We hope these tips and insights have inspired you to give your houseplants the organic care they deserve. Remember, a little love (and the right plant food) goes a long way!
