HESI HousePlant Elixir
Complete low-salt NPK 4-2-3 feed for every houseplant.
It is the one HESI that is enough on its own: NPK 4-2-3 with magnesium, calcium and trace elements, plus vitamins and amino acids. It is LOW IN SALTS, and on a plant in a pot that is what matters most: in a small container salts build up, and an aggressive feed burns the roots before it feeds the leaves.
It works across every growing method — soil, coco, hydroponics, semi-hydro — and it adapts to changes in light, which indoors is the real variable between summer and winter.
The doses are not the same for every plant: 2 ml per litre on slow growers, 3–5 ml per litre on fast ones, one to four times a month. A plant growing quickly drinks more, so it receives more feed even at the same dose.

How to use it
