ORGANIC LIQUID FERTILIZER
Plant Food
WHAT IS IT?
PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer is a concentrated liquid extract of the seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum sustainably harvested from the North Atlantic Ocean. It is a natural product rich in potassium and bioactive compounds.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
This organic liquid fertilizer is used to encourage plant growth, strengthen their roots and increase plant resistance to diseases and, in particular, to the stress caused by poor irrigation management (with episodes of lack or excess of water in the potting soil) and the stresses caused by severe temperature oscillations.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer is a brownish-black liquid with a marine odor. The natural character of PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer may cause slight variations in appearance between different batches. This in no way compromises its effectiveness.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer provides potassium, a macronutrient needed for regulating the opening and closing of stomata (structures in the leaves that allow the exchange of gases between the plant and the environment), and for the regulation of plant growth.
Its richness in marine bio compounds (phlorotannins, fucoidan, laminarin, mannitol, and alginate) act in synergy and are responsible for its antioxidant effect protecting plants from oxidative stress resulting from failures in the availability of water and the range of temperatures suitable for good development of houseplants.
HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?
The PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer must be diluted in water and applied by spraying on the leaves for good coverage.
Shake the PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer well before preparing the new solution.
Apply using a sprayer.
Discard the prepared solution after 48 hours.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSE?
The PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer must be used diluted in water, in a proportion of 0.5 ml of product for every 100 ml of water (0.5%).
Dilute five drops from the drip bottle for every 100 ml of water.
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT?
General recommendation:
PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer should be applied fortnightly from March to September and monthly from October to February.
Booster:
The application of PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer can be increased when adverse conditions such as:
• Periods of rapid and sharp temperature fluctuations, typically in transition between seasons
• Situations of rapid artificial heating of the home environment on colder days
• Situations of rapid artificial cooling at home on hotter days
• When interruption of the care routine and changes in indoor environmental conditions are expected during the holiday season.
In these cases, apply the PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer 2 to 3 days before the onset of events that are anticipated to be stressful for the plants.
WHAT IS ITS YIELD?
Each PLANT FOOD organic liquid fertilizer bottle, when used as recommended, can prepare 10 liters of fertilizer solution.
The average use of 4 sprayers of 200 ml per month corresponds to product availability for approximately 12 months.

NATURAL SOAP FOR PLANTS
Leaf Cleanser
WHAT IS IT?
LEAF CLEANSER natural liquid soap is a concentrated product of plant origin. Produced with olive oil, without dyes or fragrances, it is obtained by saponification of the long-chain fatty acids present in this natural fat. The nature of this type of long-chain fatty acids gives it the necessary softness to be used in cleaning plants. It is a natural and biodegradable product.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
LEAF CLEANSER natural liquid soap is a product for cleaning plants. It is indicated to keep plants clean and shiny, in optimal conditions for photosynthesis. Its nature facilitates the removal of dust, honeydew caused by insects, molds, and fungi, as well as resins and remains of insect seedlings. Regular cleaning of plants allows for the timely detection and control of plant pests.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants is a translucent gel soap with a shiny appearance. The natural character of LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants can cause slight variations in appearance between different batches. This in no way compromises its effectiveness.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants acts as a washing agent, contributing to the dissolution of impurities in water and facilitating their elimination.
When in direct contact with the waxy layer that covers soft-bodied insects, which include the main pests of house plants - aphids, whiteflies, mites, mealybugs, and thrips - LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants can lead to irreparable damage to the breathing mechanism that results in insect death.
HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?
LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants must be diluted in water and applied by spraying on the leaves and stems.
Gently shake the LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants before preparing the new solution. Apply using a sprayer. Remove excess product with dirt residues with a clean cloth or kitchen paper. Do not use the same cloth or paper on different plants to avoid contamination between plants.
In dirty plants, or plants with many small leaves, use a shower to remove excess product and residues to facilitate correct washing.
Discard the prepared solution after 48 hours.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSE?
LEAF CLEANSER natural soap for plants must be used diluted in water, in a proportion of 4 ml of product for every 100 ml of water (4%). Dilute five pumps from the dosing bottle for every 100 ml of water.
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT?
Plants should be cleaned once a month with LEAF CLEANSER natural soap. The frequency of application can be increased, without exceeding a minimum interval of 4 days between applications, if there is an accumulation of dust on the leaves or if detected the presence of insects on the plant.
WHAT IS ITS YIELD?
Each bottle of LEAF CLEASER natural soap for plants, used as recommended, can prepare 5 liters of cleaning solution.
The average use of 2 sprayers of 200 ml per month corresponds to a product available for approximately 12 months.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?

NATURAL INSECTICIDE FOR PLANTS
Leaf Protector
WHAT IS IT?
LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is a blend of hydrophobic clarified neem oil extract with olive oil and lavender essential oil. Hydrophobic clarified neem oil extract is a derivative of neem, a substance obtained from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree. This oil is a product of treating neem with alcohol to extract azadirachtin. These two substances have different characteristics and properties.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is also a natural fungicide and repellent. It eliminates insects such as aphids, whiteflies, mites, mealybugs, and thrips, some of the most common pests of house plants. This mixture of neem oil also eliminates fungus and controls its proliferation. Its repellent properties help protect plants from further pest attacks.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is a dark brown oily product. Its natural character can lead to slight variations in appearance and consistency between different batches. This in no way compromises its effectiveness.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
LEAF PROTECTOR - natural insecticide for plants acts as a contact insecticide against soft-bodied insects, including the main pests of house plants (aphids, whiteflies, mites, mealybugs, and thrips).
This means that the LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants has to come into contact with the insects to interfere with their respiratory mechanism and cause their death by asphyxiation. It is also effective in controlling fungi by interfering with mycelial growth.
Although it has been used for centuries for its insecticidal, fungicidal, and repellent properties, the mode of action of the clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil is still not completely understood due to the complexity of its composition.
The olive oil in the mixture aims to assist in pourability. Lavender oil makes its scent more pleasant.
HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?
LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants must be applied in diluted form. Use a sprayer to apply the diluted product directly to visible insects and fungi on the plant. Inspect stems, leaf bases, and the inside of young shoots. Ensure good coverage of all visible insects and fungi.
Leave the LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants to work for no more than 2 hours and remove excess product, insects, fungi, and other residues with a clean cloth or kitchen paper. A soft toothbrush can be used to reach more difficult-to-reach areas.
In plants with small and abundant leaves or plants that are very attacked, a shower can be used for a quicker and more efficient washing of the plant with lukewarm water. Do not use the same cloth or paper on different plants to avoid the passage of insects between plants.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE ITS DILUTION IN WATER?
Shake the LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants.
Warm the product slightly between hands to regain the necessary pourability for dosing by dropper. When exposed to low temperatures, LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants can become soft butter. It may be required to resort to a short soak in warm water.
Add one drop of liquid soap to the water to ensure that the oil is distributed in the water (the formation of an emulsion). Apply using a sprayer.
Discard the prepared emulsion after 48 hours.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSE?
LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants must be used diluted in water, in a proportion of 0.5 ml of product for every 100 ml of water (0.5%). Dilute five drops from the drip bottle for every 100 ml of water. This oily mixture is not diluted directly with water, so add a drop of liquid soap to allow an emulsion to form.
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT?
LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants should be used when insects or fungi are detected on the plant.
Insects and fungi control: weekly until insects and fungi are eliminated. It can be used preventively after treatment to prevent a recurrence.
Preventively: Monthly during the six months following pest control.
When an infected plant is detected, it must be immediately isolated from the other plants and placed in quarantine, guaranteeing the best conditions for its light and temperature needs. It is recommended to preventively treat the plants present in the vicinity of the affected plant.
WHAT IS ITS YIELD?
Each bottle of LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants, when used as recommended, can prepare 10 liters of treatment emulsion.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?
Spraying should preferably be carried out in the morning or at the end of the afternoon, outside the hours of strong sunlight.
Avoid applications on days with temperatures above 28ºC to avoid the risk of phytotoxicity due to product concentration.
Despite the natural character of LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants, some plants may be sensitive to its application, namely if the plant is fragile or subject to unfavorable environmental conditions.
Do not use on plants under water stress due to dryness. Replenish the plant with moisture before using the product.
Do not use on plants under water stress due to waterlogging. Recover the plant before using the product.
Do not use it on plants with hairy leaves whose surface is covered with trichomes (hair-like).
If in doubt, carry out a tolerance test on the product. Apply as recommended on a leaf and wait 48h to ensure the absence of an adverse reaction.

ORGANIC FERTILIZER
Soil Booster
WHAT IS IT?
SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer is a 100% natural organic fertilizer. It is a by-product resulting from the bioconversion of agro-industrial residues by the controlled action of the insect Hermetia illuscens, in an economic circularity process. It is a product rich in organic matter and nutritionally balanced, containing plants' main macro and micronutrients.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer feeds the potting soil replenishing it with the nutrients most important for the plants. Its high organic matter content improves the structure of the potting soil, maintaining good water retention capacity and adequate aeration. It also has a positive effect on the natural defense of plants.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer is a loose dry mix, dark brown with a tendentially sweet odor, with some notes of acidity, sometimes ureic. As a by-product of a bioproduction process in a circular economy, its appearance and smell may vary between batches. This in no way compromises its effectiveness.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Its composition, rich in humic and fulvic acids, promotes a balanced microbiological activity that converts the nutrients contained in organic matter into accessible forms for plants over time, following the needs of the plants. Its organic nature is directly responsible for maintaining the good physical structure of the potting soil, favoring a good water retention capacity and adequate aeration.
There is evidence that the chitin residues contained in SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer also trigger a response on the part of the plant, stimulating some of its natural defenses. It is assumed that the presence of chitin, a natural polymer present in the body of some insects, is perceived as a threat by the plant.
HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?
The organic fertilizer SOIL BOOSTER must be spread over the surface of the potting soil, around the plant, and involved with the help of a small shovel or a rake.
Given the natural variability of SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer, sometimes more powdery, it is recommended to use a mask when applying it to people more sensitive to dust.
WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSE?
The recommended dose for SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer varies with pot size and uncovered potting soil surface area. It is recommended to cover all exposed potting soil surfaces with a thin layer (0.5 cm).
HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT?
Maintenance application: Quarterly
Recovery application: Whenever there is a degradation of the potting soil, recognizable by the dry, grossly loose, and crumbled appearance of the potting soil that does not recover after hydration.
WHAT IS ITS YIELD?
Each 1000 ml pack of SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer applied as recommended for maintenance will be enough to use on five medium plants (pots with diameters from 12 to 15 cm) for approximately 12 months.
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?
Being a natural product rich in organic matter, SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer can accumulate an intense odor when closed in the packaging. This odor dissipates quickly and poses no risk to the health of people and animals.
SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer can show the formation of a thin white fungus that is quickly incorporated into the fertilizer when it is stirred. This is a consequence of nature rich in organic matter and reveals the valuable microbiological activity that occurs in SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer. This fungus does not represent any danger to the health of people, animals, and plants.
DOES IT PRESENT RISKS TO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS?
When applied as recommended SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer poses no risk to people and animals.
DOES IT PRESENT A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT?
When applied as recommended, SOIL BOOSTER organic fertilizer poses no environmental risk.
HOW SHOULD I STORE IT?

NATURAL MULCH
Soil Topper
WHAT IS IT?
SOIL TOPPER natural mulch is composed of 100% of cork granulate.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
SOIL TOPPER natural mulch maintains a regular moisture content in the potting soil. It is indicated for plants that are more demanding in humidity, such as calatheas and some ferns.
It can also be used as "bark" for orchids, controlling and preventing root rot by providing extra drainage and aeration to the roots.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
SOIL TOPPER natural mulch is available in granules with a loose form with an average of 3-8 mm granulometry.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
By covering the surface of the potting soil, the layer of SOIL TOPPER natural mulch forms a physical barrier that controls water loss by evaporation, particularly in hot and dry environments. Its lightweight nature allows you to adjust the humidity without compacting the potting soil and guarantees its aeration.
Cork is an inert natural material, does not chemically react with other materials, and is not affected by chemical or biological processes, which makes it a very stable material and resistant to degradation.
HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?
The SOIL TOPPER natural mulch must be applied on the surface of the potting soil forming a layer 1 to 2 cm thick, depending on the size of the pot.
WHAT IS ITS YIELD?
Each 1000 ml pack of SOIL TOPPER natural mulch applied as recommended will be enough to use on 5-10 medium plants (pots with diameters from 12 to 15 cm).
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?
When watering pots with a layer of SOIL TOPPER natural mulch, use a fine-spout watering can to control the water flow and prevent the SOIL TOPPER natural mulch, a very light product, from overflowing the pot.
In alternative, you can water your plants from the bottom. Know how to bottom watering plants.

POTTING SOIL
Soil Freshener
WHAT IS IT?
SOIL FRESHENER potting soil is a mixture of coconut fiber, organic fertilizer, and vermiculite.
WHAT IS IT USED FOR?
SOIL FRESHENER potting soil is perfect as an additional fresh potting soil needed when transplanting house plants into larger pots. It is also good to renovate the top layer of aged potting soils in large plant pots, which are difficult to transplant.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
SOIL FRESHENER potting soil is a brown loose mixture, with a fine granulometry, and with an earthy odor.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The three constituents of the SOIL FRESHENER potting soil, with their functionalities, together mimic the physical and biochemical conditions of the natural soil.
In addition to its structural component that ensures physical support for plant roots, coconut fiber has a good water retention capacity and is highly porous, allowing air circulation in the potting soil and keeping plant roots oxygenated.
Organic fertilizer is the long-term storehouse of vital plant nutrients and provides an ideal environment for the growth of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms help break down organic matter releasing nutrients for plants and helping protect plants against pathogens and disease.
Vermiculite can absorb large amounts of water, keeping it available and yields to the plants when needed. Its highly porous structure contributes to reducing potting soil compaction.
HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?
Application during repotting:
Remove the plant to be repotted from the pot and loosen the roots by gently rubbing the root ball with your hand.
Place a layer of SOIL FRESHENER potting soil on the bottom of the new pot. The thickness of this layer is variable and depends on the dimensions of the plant and the plant pot. It should be enough to raise the base of the repotted plant to a height close to the edge of the plant pot (0.5 to 3 cm below).
Once the plant has been placed in the center of the pot, the space between the pot wall and the root ball around the plant should be carefully filled in, ensuring no empty spaces are left.
Replacement of aged potting soil:
Carefully remove the top layer of aged potting soil, 2-3 cm, and fill with SOIL FRESHENER potting soil.
WHAT IS ITS YIELD?
2000 ml pack of SOIL FRESHENER potting soil, when applied as recommended, will be enough to use on approximately five medium plants (pots with diameters from 12 to 15 cm) or in one large plant (pot with diameters from 27 cm).
WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?
The organic nature and the rich microbiological activity of the SOIL FRESHENER potting soil can promote the development of a mild beneficial white fungus that is quickly incorporated into the mix when stirred. This poses no risk to people, animals or plants.
DOES IT PRESENT RISKS TO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS?
SOIL FRESHENER potting soil does not pose any risks to the health of people and animals.
DOES IT PRESENT A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT?
SOIL FRESHENER potting soil does not pose any risks to the environment.
HOW SHOULD I STORE IT?
Keep the SOIL FRESHENER potting soil in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
WHAT MAKES IT A SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT?
The SOIL FRESHENER potting soil does not contain peat, a common material used for plant-based potting mixes production. Peat is currently considered an unsustainable material as it is responsible for the biodiversity loss of plants and animals in the areas where it is exploited. Its extraction releases considerable amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In the composition of the SOIL FRESHENER potting soil, peat has been replaced by coconut fiber, a by-product of the coconut industry, a renewable material with the lowest environmental impact.
