Hydroponic Houseplant Focus

Hydroponic Houseplant Focus has been precisely formulated for houseplants growing in hydroponic and semi-hydroponic systems including water and clay pebbles (LECA).

There are many advantages to growing houseplants in semi-hydro systems, some of those advantages include:

• No chance of over or underwatering as the hydro substrate provides an ideal air/water ratio – perfect for beginners and seasoned growers alike!
• No guessing when to feed and water – just make sure that the nutrient reservoir never runs dry.
• Reduced risk of pests and diseases, ensuring happy healthy plants.
• Substrate can be cleaned and re-used for cost effective, reduced waste growing.

As there is no soil present to buffer and provide extra nutrients to the feed, the quality of the nutrient solution for hydronic houseplants is critical to your success when growing with this method. The nutrient selected must contain highly bioavailable nutrients, no harmful ingredients such as chloride, sodium and toxic heavy metals, and ideally formulated especially for this application.

Hydroponic Houseplant Focus offers exceptional benefits over standard hydroponic nutrients and houseplant fertilisers:

• Contains all 12 essential elements required for plant growth, including calcium and magnesium!
  • Without all 12 essential elements present in the nutrient solution, plants will display stunted growth in hydroponic and semi-hydro systems
    o See below for full mineral analysis
• Built in pH stability
  • Using our unique single-part technology, Hydroponic Houseplant Focus requires no pH adjustment when used with most tap water
• Low in chlorides, heavy metals and sodium
  • We only use high grade mineral raw materials and trace elements to ensure no unwanted contaminants, which can be harmful to houseplants
• Lab tested quality
  • Every batch we make is independently lab tested to guarantee our renowned gold standard quality in every bottle
• No added urea
  
  • Urea can build up and become toxic to houseplants. Hydroponic Houseplant Focus is formulated with nitrate and ammoniacal nitrogen, the most bioavailable sources of nitrogen for houseplants

All these benefits combine to produce outstanding results in your houseplants. Reward your plants with Hydroponic Houseplant Focus today, your plants will thank you!

Instructions for use

Mix at 5 ml per litre of clean water and apply with every top-up or change of the nutrient reservoir.

For substrates which already contain a fertiliser, such as Lechuza-Pon, use 3 ml/litre for the first two months.

For established and heavy feeding houseplants, increase dosage to 10ml/L during periods of active growth.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between Hydroponic Houseplant Focus and original Houseplant Focus?
A: Houseplant Focus contains organic additives such as humic acid and seaweed extract. These are beneficial ingredients when growing in soil as they condition the soil and provide extra biostimulant effects to the plants. For hydro and semi-hydro systems however the organic additives can cause blockages, staining, and at worst could result in a smelly system prone to pathogen attack. For this reason, a purely mineral feed is recommended.

Q: Why is the Full analysis not printed on the label?
A: Due to the fertiliser regulations, we can only list some of the minerals on the label BUT rest assured that all Growth Technology nutrients and feeds contain all 12 essential elements required for plant growth, in the correct balance for optimal nutrition.

Q: Can Hydroponic Houseplant Focus be mixed with organic additives?
A: Absolutely! To use Hydroponic Houseplant Focus with organic additives which are labelled as suitable for hydroponics, make up the reservoir solution as per the instructions for use, mix well, and add the additive at the final stage according to the manufacturer’s recommended dilution rate.

Hints and Tips for successful growing with Hydroponic Houseplant Focus

• Flush roots and substrate once a month with clean water to remove any mineral build up.
• Refresh nutrient solution once every two weeks instead of topping up, use the opportunity to clean the reservoir to remove any algae build-up.
• If unsure of dilution rate, start small and build up the concentration if the plants are looking happy and healthy.
• Plants can be sensitive to additives in tap water such as chlorine and chloramine, so for best results mix 10% tap water with 90% rain, filtered, or deionised water to top up your nutrient solution. Adding a small amount of tap water back into the nutrient reservoir will help stabilise the pH around the root zone and ensure maximum nutrient availability.
• Avoid using chemical water softeners to treat hard tap water – these can add undesirable chemicals to your nutrient reservoir and upset the balance of nutrition for your plants. If you suffer with hard water, filtering or mixing with rain or deionised water is the best approach.
