How many plants does one tablet feed?

One tablet typically feeds several small houseplants or one larger plant.

How much water should I use per tablet?

One tablet feeds several small plants so use as much water as needed to make that easy. We generally recommend using a small watering can (~16 oz) or a mason jar 'amount' of water per tablet.

How long does one tablet last?

A single tablet typically is enough to feed your plants for one fertilizing cycle. Plants typically need fertilizing every few months depending on growth.

How often should I feed my indoor plants?

Indoor houseplants need to be fed because your home doesn't naturally supply nutrients like the canopy of a forest would. We recommend fertilizing once every few months and more frequently when you can see your plants actively growing (making new leaves). Learn more on our blog.
