Golden Cane Palm
A golden cane is a clump, not a single plant. That tidy pot of arching fronds is usually several seedlings grown together, and every cane in it is one stem...
The Essentials Refill Pack
$62.00

- Description
For when the bottles actually run out. The same two products as the Essentials Pack, in the sizes you buy once you've stopped thinking about it. Indoor Plant Food goes from 100ml to 500ml — enough to make up to 500L of feed — and the neem goes from 245ml to 980ml. Less packaging, fewer reorders, and the routine doesn't stop because something ran dry.
What's inside
- Indoor Plant Food Refill (500ml) – The same complete liquid feed: nitrogen, potassium, a full set of trace elements and New Zealand seaweed extract. 1ml per litre, every second watering. Makes up to 500L.
- Neem Oil Leaf Shine Refill (980ml) – Cold-pressed neem seed oil, pre-mixed and ready to use. Top up your existing spray bottle, or dab it straight onto a cloth or glove.
Made in Melbourne by horticulturalists who started out hand-bottling this stuff at local markets.
Who it's for
- Anyone already using both products who just wants to stay topped up.
- Collections that have grown past the point where a 100ml bottle lasts.
- People who like a simple routine built around the watering they're already doing.
- Anyone keen to cut packaging by buying the bigger format.
Keeping the habit going
The Plant Runner Method rewards consistency more than it rewards intervention — plants do better on a steady routine than on occasional rescue efforts. One very ordinary reason a good routine stops is simply running out and not getting around to replacing it. This is the always-in-the-cupboard version.
Feed every second watering while your plants are growing, easing back through the cooler months. Wipe the leaves when you can see or feel dust building up.
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.
