Plant Care Essentials Kit

$32.00

Two bottles that cover the everyday side of indoor plant care.

  • What's inside: 100ml Indoor Plant Food and 245ml Neem Oil Leaf Shine, in a bespoke gift box
  • What they do: one feeds the plant, one keeps its leaves clean so they can make the most of the light
  • Best for: a gift for someone with plants, or a starting point if you've just got into them
  • Ready to go: arrives boxed, so there's nothing to wrap

Buying for someone with plants is hard — they've usually got the plants covered. What they tend not to have is the unglamorous stuff that keeps them going.

Indoors, a plant only gets what you give it. Indoor Plant Food replaces the nutrients a pot runs out of — 1ml per litre, every second watering, and one bottle makes up to 100L. Neem Oil Leaf Shine lifts the household dust that builds up on foliage indoors, so the leaves can make proper use of the light they're getting. Together, they cover two simple jobs worth doing regularly: feeding the roots and cleaning the leaves.

Both bottles are ready to use — nothing to mix, nothing to work out. Whoever opens the box can start that afternoon.

They arrive in a gift box built for the purpose, so it's ready to hand over without wrapping. Buying them for yourself? The same two bottles come without the box for $3 less.

Made in Melbourne.

FAQ

What’s it best for?

Wetting moss poles and pole fill like our Tree Fern Fibre, keeping cuttings and seedlings damp while they root, and giving plants a light foliar feed.

Will misting raise the humidity around my plant?

Only for a few minutes. A fine mist evaporates quickly, so it won’t change the air around a plant in any lasting way. Where misting really earns its place is keeping moss poles, cuttings and seedlings damp.

Can I foliar feed with it?

Yes. Indoor Plant Food can go on as a light foliar feed, mixed as per the directions. Keep it off plants in direct sun and away from hairy, delicate or freshly unfurled leaves. Mixed plant food keeps for 48 hours, so tip out anything left after that.

How much does it hold?

300ml.

Is any of it plastic?

No. It’s handmade from solid brass with a hammered finish, so no two are exactly the same.

Will the brass change colour?

Yes. Solid brass darkens and develops a patina with age and handling. That’s part of its character.
