Our tip for easily fertilizing your plants
Create a fertilization plan in your calendar, in a notebook or in your new plant app: Simply write down the names of your plants and the corresponding fertilization times. As a rule, houseplants should be fertilized twice a month from March to October and once from November to February, unless you use a plant light. Then you have to apply enough fertilizer all year round!
The right care for your houseplants is the FARBIO® organic fertilizer for green plants . It supports and strengthens your plant with important nutrients, which are essential for intensive leaf green and healthy growth of all parts of the plant. If you want to make it even easier for yourself, we recommend our foliar fertilizers: a quick and easy form of liquid fertilization and a supplement to the nutrient supply to plants via the roots.
Our FARBIO® foliar fertilizers are mixed with water in a spray bottle and then sprayed onto the entire leaf surface. They provide the plants with targeted nutrients that they can immediately absorb and utilize through the leaves.
