The Carbeth Plants Houseplant Drip Feed is designed for busy indoor gardeners who want a foolproof method to nourish their foliage without the mess of mixing liquid fertilizers. By providing a steady, slow-release supply of nutrients directly to the root zone, it helps improve leaf color and overall plant vigor for species like peace lilies and ferns. While it offers unmatched convenience, users should note that the drip rate is fixed and may not replace specialized, high-intensity feeding schedules required by certain rare or fast-growing exotic plants.

Each 30ml bottle provides a steady nutrient supply for approximately 15 days.
These feeds are designed for general indoor foliage. Succulents often have very specific nutrient needs, so check specific plant requirements before use.
Yes, this is a nutrient feed, not a water replacement. Continue your regular watering schedule.
While safe, plants typically require less nutrition in the winter months. You may choose to pause use during dormancy.
Always keep fertilizer products out of reach of pets and children. Avoid allowing pets to dig in the pot where the feed is inserted.
For large pots, you can use two bottles placed on opposite sides to ensure even distribution, but one is usually sufficient for standard houseplants.
Check that the tip is not clogged with soil or roots and ensure the cap has been cut open properly.
Ensure the bottle is inserted at least 2cm into firm soil; if the soil is too loose, try creating a hole first and firming the soil around the base of the bottle.
To begin using the drip feed, ensure your plant's soil is slightly moist. Snip the sealed end of the 30ml bottle with a clean pair of scissors, then push the tip firmly into the soil, keeping it at least 2-3cm away from the main stem of the plant. If the compost is very dry or hard, you may need to poke a small pilot hole with a pencil first to avoid snapping the plastic tip. Avoid using these in pots with very shallow soil, as the bottle may tip over. For care, monitor the bottle level; if it empties in under a week, your soil may be overly porous or the drainage too high, requiring more frequent irrigation.
