Easy to use, ideal formulation to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering of all indoor houseplants.
Houseplant Focus is specifically formulated to care for all indoor houseplants.
A carefully balanced formula with nutrients, it is manufactured from the purest and most soluble mineral salts and is enriched with concentrated organic plant acids and pure extracts of kelp. It is urea free. Houseplant Focus is ideal if you have a collection of houseplants including anthuriums, ferns, dracaenas, ficus, palms, poinsettias, as well as cacti, succulents and bromeliads.
Houseplant Focus:
- With all essential nutrients
- Enriched with humic and fulvic acid, as well as seaweed
- With Hydroburst technology for easy rewetting
It is easy to use. Simply mix Houseplant Focus with clean water at 5 ml (one teaspoon) per litre and use weekly – or with every watering - for feeding houseplants at all stages of growth. At half strength (5 ml per two litres), it is also ideal for seedlings and young plants.
For ultimate performance and especially for plants under stress you can also use Root Ultra, a root promotor for all plants specifically formulated for use in pots and containers.
As most houseplants are of tropical origin they will respond and thrive with regular spraying which creates higher humidity because in centrally heated houses humidity is low especially in the winter
So, additionally, to using Houseplant Focus it is advisable to spray or mist houseplants regularly (two to three times a week) with soft water, Houseplant Myst or Houseplant Focus diluted at 5 ml per two litres.

Houseplant Focus is available in 100 ml, 300 ml and 1 litre.
Effect of Houseplant Focus on the growth and development of vegetable and ornamental plant species
Independent Research Trials 2022–2023
Trial Objectives
The main objective of the trial was to determine the effect of Houseplant Focus on the growth and development of selected vegetable and ornamental plant species under greenhouse conditions. Houseplant Focus is a complete
liquid fertiliser with added organic extracts and can be applied to a wide range of plant species.
The second objective was to compare Houseplant Focus against a well known brand product and determine any differences in growth and development between the two.
Trials were carried out over the summer period in a naturally ventilated greenhouse under standard growing conditions for each species.
Methods
Cuttings of chrysanthemum (variety Sussex White), seedlings of basil (variety Sweet Genovese) and seedlings of lettuce (variety Veredes Green Oakleaf) were transplanted into pots containing a substrate mix of one third potting mix (containing slow-release fertiliser), one third perlite and one third vermiculite. Plants were randomly assigned to one of three treatments:
(i) Control (water application only).
(ii) The well known brand product at label recommended rates.
(iii) Houseplant Focus at a rate of 5 ml per litre of water.
Treatments were applied at every second watering to run off. At harvest, plants were removed from their pots and root systems assessed. Fresh weight, height and leaf number data was recorded and the resulting data statistically analysed. All differences shown are statistically significant.
Results
Conclusions
In all species tested, plants treated with Houseplant Focus were significantly heavier and taller with a greater leaf number (where data was recorded) than the ‘well known product’ treatment, indicating that Houseplant Focus provided a greater concentration of essential nutrients for growth and development.
While there was slow-release fertiliser in the potting mix, this did not appear to provide sufficient nutrition alone in early stages of growth and the plants benefited from the additional nutrients supplied by the treatments.
In all species, Houseplant Focus produced visually denser roots, greener, larger leaves and thicker stems.
