Application:
Shake well before use.
Foliar spray with 10ml / 2x tsp per gallon. 2.5ml or 1/2 tsp for a 32oz spray bottle.
Concentrated formula, a little goes a long way!
Optional: Wipe leaves of houseplants after applying to clean leaves & enhance shine.
Evening application recommended outside, once the sun has passed, avoid times of intense light/heat.
Spot test and wait 24-48hrs before fully applying on known sensitive plants.
Houseplants:
Spray entire plant, tops and bottoms of leaves, stems etc. I spray until the plant is dripping. Wipe tops of leaves to enhance shine and remove dust/debris allowing for more opimal photosynethis. Apply as often as once weekly, as little as once monthly or “as needed” for maintenace.
For pest outbreaks spray 3x over the course of one week. 2x the second week and then resume a normal routine schedule.
If plants will be in the sun or under bright lighting, remove from light while spraying and wait until dry to place back in their spot, or wait until sun has pass or right before indoor lighting is turned off.
Vegetable/Herb Garden:
Same as above. No need to wipe leaves on outdoor plants. Spray early morning or after sun has passed.
Spray early and often especially when it comes to crops known to very susceptible to pests. Prevention is key! Think about such crops as cucumbers, squashes and melons being very prone to powdery mildew. Build a soil rich in minerals and humus (check out our rock dust and biochar!) to create plants with strong structure and healthy immune system and spray early and often to prevent spores from taking hold on the leaves!
People, Pet, Plant & Planet safe, all our Botanical Tonic & Leaf Shine ingredients are derived from plants and are food or medical grade. This is incredibly important to us! The products and inputs we use in the garden and on the plants in our home can and should be safe even on our own skin! You might recognize some of our botanicals from the ingredients in your skin and hair care products and I think it is by no mistake that my research has proven to show that many of the plant produced compounds we find beneficial to human health are also beneficial to plant health!

Are you here for the suds n’ foams you may have seen on social media? Here’s some ways to activate the super sudsy saponins!
Use a mason jar or a water bottle/jug. In a half gallon container I will add 2.5ml, only 1/4tsp of Soil Tonic, and fill up half way with water, thats 32oz of water, leaving plenty of room for the foam to grow! For a 1 gallon jug fill half way with water and add 5ml, 1tsp Soil Tonic. Give it a shake and you’ll see how quickly it foams up! While not necessary it sure is fun and we love adding a little extra fun to Plant Care! Rest assured though, the benefits are still there regardless so don’t worry if you skip this step altogether!
Skip the shaking and add to your kitchen blender, let the blender do the shaking for you!
Got a different method you use? Tag us in a post and share how you use Soil Tonic in your garden!
My everday/quick method of application is to simply measure and pour Soil Tonic into your watering can or pitcher and fill with water at the kitchen sink or from the hose, and water your plants!
Orchids/LECA/PON: For orchids or any plant kept in a passive/semi hydro setting. Soak at half to full strength up to once weekly for 1-2hours. Rinse medium after, replace reservoir with plain water or any nutrient solution you normally use.
For my orchids I will alternate between Soil Tonic & Plant Tonic. I keep them in Leca with a small amount of plain water at the bottom to wick from, or in bark that will soak or rinse with water as needed when starts to dry.
Emuslifier: Have a bottle of pure Neem Oil in the cupboard? Tired of lackluster results trying to use dish soap to emulsify it? both our Soil Tonic & Leaf Tonic make a superior emulsifier for any Horticultural Oil!
For 1 gallon of solution: Mix 10-15ml of Oil with 5-10ml of Soil or Leaf Tonic. I recommend adding together with a little bit of warm water in a quart jar where you can shake it and see that proper emulsification has taken place. Then dilute into the full amount of water in your spray bottle!
