A concentrate that does more than the usual NPK. Calcium for cell walls, seaweed extract for stress tolerance, amino acids for metabolism, and beneficial bacteria for the soil itself. A small amount goes a long way, it can go on the soil or the leaves, and it suits indoor plants, garden beds and vegetables equally.
Key Features
- The base. Balanced NPK with trace elements.
- Calcium. Strengthens cell walls and supports disease resistance.
- Seaweed extract. Stimulates growth, improves stress tolerance and aids nutrient absorption.
- Amino acids. Support protein synthesis, nutrient transport and metabolism.
- Beneficial bacteria. They work on nutrient availability and soil structure.
- Two ways to apply. Use on soil or as a foliar feed, on houseplants, gardens and vegetables.
- Size. A 250ml concentrate.
Pūrē Standard
- It feeds the soil as well as the plant. Most liquid feeds are salts dissolved in water: the plant takes them up and that is the end of it. The beneficial bacteria here work on nutrient availability and soil structure, which is a longer game than a growth spurt.
- Calcium is the ingredient most feeds leave out. It builds cell walls, and a plant short of it gets weak new growth and is more prone to disease. Including it is a considered choice rather than a headline one.
- Genuinely concentrated. A small dose per watering, so a 250ml bottle lasts and stores in a drawer rather than taking up a shelf. Less packaging and less freight per feed than a ready-to-use bottle.
- Where we would like more, and it is a fair amount. The Home Plant Co publish no NPK ratio, no full ingredient breakdown, no dilution rate and no country of manufacture. They are Australian owned and operated and describe themselves as certified horticulturists with thirty years' experience, but for a fertiliser the analysis is the thing you actually want. Check the bottle label, which should carry it.
