Planting 101: All About Plant Nutrition
Plant nutrition concentrates are convenient and effective supplements that provide essential nutrients needed for plant growth. These nutrients help plants grow healthier and stronger.
The plant nutrition concentrate quickly replenishes the nutrients needed for plant growth, promotes root and plant development, enhances nutrient absorption, and activates growth nodes.
Plant nutrition concentrat are liquid, allowing plants to absorb nutrients quickly with immediate effects. They contain relatively natural ingredients and are more environmentally friendly. Depending on the ingredients, they can effectively improve plant health and are less likely to attract insects, making them suitable for indoor use.
Chemical fertilizers usually contain high concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and other synthetic nutrients. They release nutrients quickly but require careful application to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm plants, making them less suitable for beginners.
Organic fertilizers are derived from organic matter such as compost. They release nutrients slowly, are beneficial for soil and the environment, but may have odors and attract insects.
Plant nutrition concentrat and fertilizers each play distinct roles in plant care and cannot completely replace each other. Different plants have different needs; the nutrient solution can be used alongside existing fertilizers. By enhancing nutrient absorption, the amount of traditional fertilizer needed can be halved, providing comprehensive growth support.
Plant nutrition concentrate can be used on mostly all household plants, but for low-nutrient-demand plants like succulents and carnivorous plants, it is recommended to dilute the nutrient concentrate further to avoid over-nutrition.
Unlike plants in the wild, those growing under specific conditions (like indoor plants or hydroponics) benefit from precise and effective nutrient supplements to ensure healthy growth within limited space and resources.
The "1%" in 1% Plant Nutrition Concentrate and 1% Plant Nutrition Spray comes from the brand name "1% nutrition," which symbolizes providing plants with the most thoughtful care using just 1% key nutrients. The "1%" does not refer to concentration or NPK (Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium) ratios. For detailed NPK information, please refer to the product packaging or the label, which clearly lists the NPK ratio.
The 1% Plant Nutrition Spray contains a large brown algae extract that helps regulate plant physiology, but is not considered a fertilizer, so it does not list NPK values. On the other hand, 1% Plant Nutrition Concentrate has an NPK ratio below 3.5%. While it’s a low-fertilizer product, the natural plant extracts used effectively support plant health by enhancing root development and nutrient absorption, significantly reducing the need for additional fertilizers.

Easy Planting: Beginner Q&A
To successfully grow plants, you first need to assess your own planting environment! Follow the guide "Plant Beginners Can Become Green Thumbs! 3 Tips to Find Your Planting Conditions" to identify the best conditions for your plants.
Plants like Monstera, Dieffenbachia, Snake Plant, Fiddle Leaf Fig, Chinese Money Plant, and Peperomia are very beginner-friendly. If you have more time to observe and water your plants, ferns, Calatheas, Philodendrons, or Peace Lilies are also great choices.
Place your plants in well-ventilated areas and adjust their position based on their light requirements. For more details on determining light conditions, refer to "Plant Beginners Can Become Green Thumbs! 3 Tips to Find Your Planting Conditions".
You can use Plant Nutrition Concentrate weekly for regular health maintenance. Other ideal times include during re-potting, dividing, or transplanting, as these can effectively promote plant growth, help them adapt to their new environment, and activate their cells.
After bringing a plant home, isolate it and keep it in a shaded area for about two weeks to help it acclimate before changing the soil. This helps the plant grow smoothly.
- Carefully remove the plant to avoid damaging the roots.
- Gently remove the old soil and clean the roots.
- Add new soil and medium to the pot, filling about one-third of the pot.
- Place the plant in the pot, add more soil, and lightly press it down, leaving about 2-3 cm from the soil to the pot's rim.
Use high-quality, sterilized, and well-draining soil. If concerned about water drainage and aeration, add materials like perlite, vermiculite, or pumice to prevent root rot due to poor ventilation and overly moist soil.
The simplest way is to observe the leaves and soil.
- Under-watered: Leaves will appear shriveled and stems soft, looking droopy. The soil will be very dry.
- Over-watered: Leaves will appear overly soft and lack elasticity, and the soil will be very wet.
For more information, refer to "Essential Plant Care: 5 Common Mistakes and 6 Health Check Tips".
Check the following:
Leaves:
- If lower leaves are uniformly yellowing and the range is not expanding, it’s likely natural aging.
- If leaves are rapidly yellowing, with expanding spots or foreign objects, it might be pests or disease, requiring pest control and disinfection.
Soil:
- Check soil moisture (over-wet or over-dry).
- For over-wet soil, check for root rot and consider using more breathable soil; for over-dry soil, it could be due to under-watering causing yellow leaves.
Position:
- Insufficient light may require changing the plant's location or regular sun exposure.
- Poor ventilation can also affect plant health, so place the plant in a well-ventilated area.
- Nutrients: If none of the above are the cause, it could be a nutrient deficiency:
- The plant may have outgrown its pot, restricting root expansion and nutrient absorption, suggesting a repot.
- Healthy growth but nutrient-deficient soil or poor nutrient absorption might need more 1% Plant Nutrition Concentrate to enhance nutrient uptake.
Use a clean pair of scissors or garden shears to trim away yellowed leaves (including petioles) or overly long branches.
- Keep the area around plants clean.
- Regularly wipe leaves with a damp cloth and check for pests on both sides of the leaves.
- Water appropriately and maintain good ventilation to avoid overly wet soil.
- If pests are present, use appropriate plant pest control products.
- Carefully remove the plant to avoid damaging the roots.
- Divide the plant into sections, ensuring each section has healthy roots and stems.
- Replant into new pots with fresh soil, which should retain some moisture. Wait 3-5 days before watering again and add Plant Nutrition Concentrate to help root recovery.
