Our Easy Food Plant Recipe

All you need to create this DIY food plant recipe is 1 litre of water, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. That’s it! Add all your ingredients to the water and stir until combined. This will help your blooms last longer and use less chemicals to do so.


Common issues and how to solve them

1 – Drooping and wilting blooms – This could be down to a lack of water. Try changing the water and solution regularly for the best results.
2 – Mouldy water – When preparing your blooms for the vase, make sure the parts of the stem that will be under water are free from any leaves or other debris. Having leaves under the water can make it cloudy, smelly, and even go a bit mouldy.
