Description
A general feed for indoor plants that will not burn them
Hesi Houseplant Elixir is a balanced liquid feed for indoor foliage plants. Houseplants live in a small volume of compost that exhausts within a few months of repotting, and after that they are entirely dependent on what you add.
Key Benefits
- Balanced for foliage - nitrogen weighted for leaves rather than flowers
- Gentle concentration - hard to burn a plant with it, which matters for casual feeding
- Includes trace elements - peat-based compost holds very little once exhausted
- One rate all season - no schedule to remember
- Suits most indoor plants - from pothos and monstera to ferns and palms
A houseplant that stops growing a year after you bought it
Nursery compost carries a few months of feed and no more. After that the plant coasts, puts out smaller leaves each time and eventually stalls. It is almost always nutrition rather than light, and it is the single easiest thing to fix.
How to Use
- Growing season: 1 ml per litre at every second watering, spring to early autumn
- Winter: monthly at most - growth has slowed and unused feed builds up
- Method: water into the pot and let it drain; empty the saucer
- After repotting: wait six to eight weeks before feeding
- Media: peat and coir-based houseplant composts
