Which plants is Foliage Focus for?
GT Foliage Focus is formulated for indoor plants where foliage is your focus, including Aroids, such as Monstera, Pothos, Philodendron, Ficus, Epipremnum, Peperomia, Syngonium, Sansevieria, Hoyas, ZZ, Ferns and more.
Why is Foliage Focus different?
GT makes crop-specific nutrition giving plants everything they need and nothing they don't. The result is an all-in-one fertiliser that's gentle enough to use every time you water, even for salt-sensitive plants, variegated plants and plants prone to fertiliser-burn.
Guaranteed Complete.
Most fertilisers include NPK only: Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Far from all the nutrients plants need, yet enough to claim to be 'complete'. Check the label. GT is different. Your plants get all 12 essential nutrients: Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper and molybdenum. All listed in the guaranteed analysis on the label. All-in-one, concentrated formula - just add water!
GT provides all 12 essential nutrients, including calcium. Most fertilisers skip calcium (even though calcium is essential for plants!).
Signs of calcium deficiency include bud-blast (where buds form but fail to flower), split, cracked leaves, leaves that cup or curl, or new growth that browns prematurely.
Calcium isn't a mobile nutrient. Don't leave it too late. If there’s a deficiency when new growth forms, the damage is done. Plants needs a regular supply. Use GT every time you water.
Safe & Gentle
Guaranteed NO urea, sodium or chlorides, making GT safe even for variegated plants and salt-sensitive plants more prone to fertiliser burn. Outdoors, excess mineral salts can leach away from the roots. Indoors, our plants can't escape. GT uses urea-free nitrogen, chloride-free potassium and guarantees no added sodium, reducing the risk of fertiliser burn.
The Goldilocks Zone
Carefully balanced to avoid nutrient excesses and deficiencies, and pH buffered to maintain the 'Goldilocks Zone' for the best uptake of nutrients.
Adaptive Formula
Adaptive for soil-based and soil-free substrates including aroid blends, hydro and semi-hydro, including leca and pon.
Metal Minerals Unlocked
GT uses chelated minerals (pronounced 'key-lay-ted' - think of a key unlocking a door). Chelating 'unlocks' the 5 essential metal nutrients: iron, manganese, magnesium, zinc and copper. Metal nutrients can react in the soil, turning them into solids plants can't use. Chelation adds organic molecules to protect precious metals, keeping them water-soluble and available to plants.
Little & Often
To avoid irreversible deficiencies in immobile nutrients (such as essential calcium), it's recommended to feed with GT Foliage Focus every time you water (also called the 'Weekly Weakly Method'). From as little as 3mls per 1 litre water, a little goes a long way.
Directions for GT Foliage Focus
Every GT order comes with one FREE 5ml pipette to make the right dose easy. One 1 litre bottle of Foliage Focus makes 333 litres based on the 3ml dilution rate. No pipette? One teaspoon = 5mls.
Choose your dose to match your plant's needs...
🪴General maintenance: Use GT at the general maintenance dose of 3mls per 1 litre of water.

💧 Hydro and semi-hydro (such as leca and pon): From 5 to 7mls per 1 litre water according to growth requirements.
