Ep 69 | Plant Daddies

Welcome back to the Helpful Gardeners Podcast!

In honour of Father’s Day, we thought we’d take a moment to shoutout the #PlantDads in our lives!

 

What is a Plant Dad?

A plant dad is someone who takes on the responsibility of caring for houseplants with dedication and passion. Similar to being a plant mom, a plant dad nurtures and tends to his plants, ensuring they receive the right amount of water, light, and nutrients.

This role goes beyond basic plant care—it involves a deep connection and commitment to fostering the growth and health of each plant.

20-20-20 Houseplant Complete

How to use

Mix Ratio: For all houseplants apply 1 teaspoon (4grams) /per 4 Litres (1/4 teaspoon (1gram)/per litre) of water once every week.

It is highly recommended to start your houseplants on a fertilizer regime, but only while they are actively growing.

 Houseplants tend to have a period of dormancy (normally winter, however poinsettias, Xmas cacti etc. are exceptions to this rule) and whilst dormant they should not be fertilized.

Caution: Do not exceed the recommended amount. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
