The Complete Care Pack

$181.00 ~~$227.00~~

Description

Both mixes, and the food that matches each of them. Nine products covering the full indoor plant care system: what goes in the pot, what goes in the watering can, and what keeps the leaves working. Indoor Plant Food and Neem Oil both come with their refills, so there's one on the shelf and a top-up in the cupboard. It's the whole system, bought once.

What's inside

Feed

Indoor Plant Food (100ml + 500ml refill) – A complete liquid feed with nitrogen, potassium, a full set of trace elements and New Zealand seaweed extract. 1ml per litre, every second watering. The 100ml alone makes up to 100L.
Aroid Plant Food (100ml) – Built for monstera, philodendron, pothos, anthurium and the rest of the aroids. Urea-free, with nitrate-based nitrogen plus calcium and magnesium, in a profile that suits the chunky, free-draining media aroids are usually grown in. 2ml per litre.

Foliage

Neem Oil Leaf Shine (245ml + 980ml refill) – Cold-pressed neem seed oil, pre-mixed and ready to use. Lifts the dust and brings back the leaf's natural gloss, with no silicone, no wax and no artificial shine.
Leaf Love Gloves – Microfibre spun from recycled PET bottles: super soft on a leaf, and the fibres hold onto the dust instead of pushing it around. One size, stretchy, machine washable.

Mix

Indoor Potting Mix (7L) and Aroid Mix (7L) – Two mixes, because a fern and a monstera don't want the same thing underneath them.
Soil & Microbe Booster (3L) – Biochar and black soldier fly frass. Stir it through at repotting, or work it into pots that aren't ready for repotting yet.

Everything except the gloves is made in Melbourne by horticulturalists who started out hand-bottling this stuff at local markets. Gloves made in Italy.

Who it's for

Resetting a lot of plants at once — a move, a reno, or an "I'm finally sorting this out" weekend.
Anyone who wants to set up properly from day one, with the right mix, feed and leaf care already sorted.
Setting up a new home or office full of plants, and wanting the care side handled from the start.
Gifting to someone whose house already looks like a greenhouse.

Everything but the light and the water

The Plant Runner Method runs light, water, mix, feed — in that order. The first two are yours: where a plant sits, and how you read it. This pack covers the other two properly, plus the leaf-cleaning that lets a plant use the light it's already got. It's the only one of our packs that covers the full product side of the Method.

Start with the repot. Match the mix to the plant and work the booster through as you go, then feed every second watering while things are growing — Indoor Plant Food for most of the shelf, Aroid Plant Food for the aroids. Keep the leaves clean with the neem and the gloves whenever you can see or feel dust building up.

Contains potting mix, so we can't ship this one to WA, NT, Tasmania or internationally, due to biosecurity regulations.

FAQ

How much do I save?

Why can’t you ship it to WA, NT or Tasmania?

It contains potting mix, which biosecurity rules stop us sending to WA, NT, Tasmania or overseas. If you’re in one of those places, the Essentials Pack has no mix in it and ships anywhere in Australia.

Which plant food goes on which plants?

Go by what the plant is growing in, not just what the plant is. Indoor Plant Food suits standard potting mixes like our Indoor Potting Mix, which covers most of the shelf. Aroid Plant Food is built for chunky, airy media: Aroid Mix, bark, tree fern fibre, or LECA and other semi-hydro setups. Its nitrogen is in a form roots can take up straight away, without relying on the mix to break it down, and it adds the calcium and magnesium those media don’t hold much of. It was designed for aroids, but an orchid or hoya in bark wants it too. Both go on every second watering while plants are actively growing.

Why two potting mixes?

Different plants want different things underneath them. Indoor Potting Mix suits most houseplants. Aroid Mix is chunkier, with more air around the roots, which is what climbing aroids like monstera and philodendron want.

Where do I start?

With the repot. Match the mix to the plant and stir the booster through as you go. Let the plant settle in and start pushing new growth before you feed, then feed every second watering. Wipe the leaves with the neem and gloves whenever you can see or feel dust building up.
