SUPERthrive Foliage‑Pro® 9‑3‑6 (5 gal) is a concentrated product that promotes strong, sturdy plant growth. It has every nutrient a plant needs, all in a bottle. It’s simple to apply and can be used in the soil, in hydroponic systems and as a foliar spray.
Ideal Nutrient Balance
Foliage‑Pro's 3‑1‑2 NPK ratio is suitable for most plants.
- Practices by the American Rose Society and the University of Florida support this balance.
- It encourages plants to develop vivid leaves and stems without providing too much phosphorus.
- High nitrate content promotes tight internodal spacing, leading to sturdier plants.
Complete Formula
All minerals in Foliage‑Pro are pre‑dissolved. This means:
- The stems take in nutrients immediately.
- Mineral particles will not block spray heads or drip emitters.
- There is no urea so the possibility of salt build is little or non existent in the growing medium.
Benefits for Plant Health
Foliage‑Pro offers several advantages for everyday growing:
- Stronger Stems: A correct mix of nitrates and ammonium can ensure that plants grow strong stems.
- Less Salt Build‑Up: Urea-free nutrient formula restricts salt buildup and benefits root structure over time.
- Fast Correction: Nutrient deficiencies can be corrected with a light foliar spray.
- Versatile Use: It is suitable for low light and all kinds of growing environments.
Application Rates
Feeding rates can be adjusted by growers for other purposes. The following guide shows common uses:
- Maintenance Feeding: For regular waterings, mix ½ teaspoon per gallon. This keeps plants healthy.
- Production Feeding: Apply 1 teaspoon per gallon weekly. This allows rapid growth during the active phase.
- Monthly Boost: Use 2–3 teaspoons per gallon as a monthly supplement. This provides plants with an additional shot of nutrition.
- Siphon Mixer (Concentrate): Mix 2–4 fl oz of Foliage‑Pro per gallon of water at a 1:15 ratio. Use this concentrate in irrigation systems.
- Foliar Spray: Use ¼ -½ teaspoon per gallon and spray leaves. This allows small deficiencies to be rapidly adjusted.
Use in Growing Systems
Foliage‑Pro is ideal for most gardens and systems.
Soil and Containers
- Use as a root drench at maintenance or production rates.
- Perfect for the ornamentals, vegetables and herbs in pots or garden beds.
Hydroponics
- Recirculating Systems: 2–3 tsp per gallon for steady nutrient supply.
- Non‑Recirculating: 1–2 tsp per gallon, with weekly water changes to prevent buildup.
Irrigation and Injection
- Mix 10–18 fl oz per gallon for injectors at a 1:100 ratio.
