What does OceanFert do for plants?

Boosts root & foliage growth

Natural source of auxins and cytokinins. Promotes growth of stronger, more active roots with a larger surface area, and boosts foliage growth.

Stronger, hardier plants

Promotes cell division while delaying aging, creating a stronger root system and longer-lasting, hardier foliage.

Healthier, more fertile soil

Improves beneficial microbes in the soil, improves soil pH and texture, adds aeration and improves drainage.

Boosts pest and disease resistance

Makes plants less attractive for pests to feed and breed. Acts as a natural, organic biopesticide making plants less palatable to pests.

Naturally thickens roots, stems and leaves acting as a natural barrier to harmful fungi and bacteria, root-feeding and sap-sucking pests like root mealy, mealybug, mites, thrips and more.

Supports the good guys. Enhances growth of beneficial fungal and bacteria in the soil.

Improves nutrient availability & uptake

Makes nutrients more available to plants. A natural chelator (said 'key-late-tor') that unlocks nutrients, making nutrients more bioavailable for roots to take in, boosting nutrient transport within the plant.
