Surprisingly, the key to helping a struggling plant actually lies in a weed – sea weed, that is. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, feeding your plants an organic diet of sea kelp is a healthy and natural way to help your plants flourish.
It might seem like a no-brainer, but healthy plants require healthy soil. Although chemical plant foods give plants an immediate boost, they can also burn out a plant’s roots with too many nutrients that can’t be absorbed. Sea kelp acts as a soil enrichment that provides micronutrients such as Cytokinins (carbohydrates), which release essential minerals into soil. Since sea kelp is all-natural, it continues to condition the soil even after all the nutrients have been used up.
In simple terms, a plant’s soil is like a very thick protein shake. With the help of a sea kelp booster, like Organics Rx Sea-Kelp 100, your plants are now drinking from an oversized straw versus a tiny coffee stirrer.
