Which plants is Foliage Focus for?
Take your plant's nutrition to the next level with GT. 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?
Foliage Focus is made by Growth Technology, known in the industry as GT. These are the clever chaps behind world-famous Clonex. GT takes a different approach to plant nutrition, providing 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.
Includes calcium
Most fertilisers lack calcium yet calcium is essential for plants. A deficiency can cause 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. If there’s a deficiency when new growth forms, the damage is done. That new growth may never reach its potential. Your plant needs a regular supply. Foliage Focus includes everything indoor plants need, including calcium and is gentle enough to use every time you water.
Save your plants from fertiliser burn
GT is guaranteed free of urea, sodium and chlorides, making it safe even for variegated plants, salt-sensitive plants and slow growers, all 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 to reduce the risk of fertiliser burn.
Truly complete...
Check the label. Most fertilisers list NPK only. Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K). Far from all the nutrients plants need, yet enough to claim to be 'complete'. GT is different. Not just 3, but all 12 essential nutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, copper and molybdenum. Guaranteed no cobalt or nickel (sssential for a handful of outdoor crops, but phytotoxins for indoor plants).
...and balanced
GT is both complete and balanced, with the 12 essential minerals in the right ratio for strong, lush leaf growth without leaving behind excess minerals to build-up or go to waste.
pH buffered
Many of our favourite indoor plants come from habitats where soil pH is naturally more acidic. Soil pH matters. Too acidic or too alkaline and some nutrients become toxic while others like calcium and phosphorus become unavailable. Foliage Focus is pH buffered to 6 once diluted, slightly acidic, right where tropical-loving indoor plants prefer, and where nutrients become ideally available, helping avoid both deficiencies and toxic levels.
Chelated minerals
Pronounced 'key-lay-ted' (think of a key unlocking a door). Chelating minerals '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 your plants. All metal nutrients in Foliage Focus are chelated.
How often should Foliage Focus be given to plants?
Little and often. To avoid irreversible deficiencies in immobile nutrients (such as essential calcium), it's recommended to feed GT every time you water, also called the 'Weekly Weakly Method'
Directions for use
Every GT order comes with one FREE 5ml pipette to make the right dose easy. One 1 litre bottle of Foliage Focus makes over 330 litres based on the light dose below.
How much Foliage Focus do plants need?
Choose your dose to match your plant's needs...
Mixed jungle: Use the General Maintenance dose of 5mls (1 teaspoon) per 1 litre of water.
Light feeders / slow growers: Dilute 3mls per 1 litre water.
Heavy feeders / fast growers: Dilute 10mls (2 teaspoons) per 1 litre water.
