- Description
The New Leaf Kit is your “new plant home” setup in one bundle. Indoor Plant Food keeps growth steady, Neem Oil Leaf Shine cleans off dust so leaves can actually use the light, and our Indoor Plant Potting Mix gives roots the right structure from day one. Bundle the three and save while you get new arrivals settled and thriving faster.
Please note: We cannot ship potting mix (and therefore this bundle) into Western Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania, or internationally due to biosecurity regulations.
Perfect when…
- You’ve just bought a new plant and want to set it up properly from day one.
- You’re moving a plant out of its original nursery mix and plastic pot into something that actually drains well indoors.
- You want a neat little “new plant ritual”: repot, water with food, clean the leaves.
Best for…
- Fiddle-leaf figs, monsteras, philodendrons and general leafy houseplants.
- People who’ve just done a plant haul and want everything off to a good start.
- Households where plants are part of the furniture, and you want the kit to look nice sitting nearby.
What’s inside
- Indoor Plant Food (100 mL) – Fortnightly feed for strong roots and lush foliage.
- Neem Oil Leaf Shine (245 mL) – To clean transport dust off new arrivals and keep foliage glossy.
- Indoor Plant Potting Mix (7 L) – Balanced, free-draining mix that holds moisture without turning to sludge – ideal for most indoor foliage.
Plant Runner Tip
When you bring a plant home, don’t jump three pot sizes up. Shift it into a slightly larger pot with this mix, water in with diluted Plant Food, then wipe the leaves – that combo helps it transition with minimal sulking.
