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

Will the copper tarnish?

Yes, and that's intended. Unsealed copper darkens and mottles with use — it's a sign of a tool that gets used, not one that's wearing out. If you'd rather keep it bright, a rub with lemon juice and salt brings it back.

Is it big enough for larger pots?

It's sized for 100–150mm pots and the narrow gaps you get when potting up. For a 300mm pot it'll work, but you'll be making more trips than you'd like. It's an indoor tool, not a garden one.

Can I leave it in damp mix?

Don't. The lacquer protects the handle, but copper left sitting in wet mix will spot rather than patina evenly. Brush it off, let it dry, bag it.
