Product Information

If you notice roots circling the rim of the pot, it could mean the substrate is too dense for roots to grow through or that it has deteriorated; whatever the reason change your growing medium. Repot

Keep your Schlumbergera’s soil moist. As with many houseplants, let the soil dry out between waterings and then give them a good soak and allow the water to drain through the pot. Waterlogging can cause root rot. Nitrogen helps produce proteins which make our cherished leafy green foliage. If a plant is nitrogen deficient you will see leaves turning pale yellow or green; alternatively too much nitrogen will send your houseplant into overdrive producing an abundance of leaves. The balance needs to be right. It’s best to feed houseplants regularly during their growing season, a period that generally runs from March to September. During this time, feed every other time you water. Apart from some flowering houseplants, most are dormant over winter, so require fewer nutrients to keep them in good shape. Either stop feeding completely or give them some nourishment with every fourth watering. How to feed Phalaenopsis or moth orchids, are long-flowering elegant houseplants that have soared in popularity, not only gracing the shelves of nurseries but now of most supermarkets too.All houseplants need a good supply of nitrogen, phosphates and potash, along with so-called trace elements to ensure they reach their full potential. Inspired by professional formulations, our Fortifying Houseplant Tonic contains 13 essential nutrients that are perfectly balanced. Among them are magnesium, iron and kelp extract to stimulate cell growth. When to feed

With all three feeds in the range shake the bottle and mix 5 ml (approx. 4 pumps) from the 500ml bottle or dilute one pipette from a 100ml bottle into a litre of tepid rainwater and apply. Orchids are epiphytes and in the wild grow on tropical tree branches, obtaining light filtered down through the canopy but orchids are not parasitic; they use aerial roots to absorb moisture and carbon dioxide so are watered and fed by the humidity surrounding them. Plantsmith’s Fortifying Feed & Tonic can used on all your houseplants and is a blend of 13 essential plant-boosting nutrients which help your houseplants grow strong, glossy leaves and long lasting flowers. It also contains kelp extract which helps stimulate new cell growth. A surprisingly large number of harmful air pollutants actually come from everyday manmade products we have in our homes like paint, computers and furniture.Strong summer sun may leave soil parched and can scorch leaves creating brown dead-looking patches along the leaf margins; this is where excess moisture has been evaporated out of the leaf before the plant has had a chance to replenish it. Begonia rexis an impressive tender evergreen perennial originating from Asia. It has large metallic hairy heart-shaped foliage or spiralling snail-like leaves with shimmering silver, pink, purple, burgundy or green markings which retain their impressive multi-coloured display all-year-round.
