One pod, everywhere you grow
If it grows in a pot of soil, a pod can feed it. Houseplants, balcony and patio pots, window boxes, planters, flowering plants: same pod, same method.
Four places, one pod
Houseplants
A few cups of soil, so a gradual release suits it far better than anything concentrated.
1 pod every 5 to 6 weeksBalcony and patio pots
Outdoor pots dry faster and drink harder, so check them at the four week mark.
1 pod per plantWindow boxes and planters
Several plants in one run of soil. Place one pod near each plant.
1 pod near each plantFlowering plants
Steady potassium supports blooms and roots without forcing a growth spike.
1 pod every 4 to 6 weeksFeed by plant size, not by Latin name
Needs more, or needs less?
Signs of underfeeding
- Slow or no new growth in the growing season
- Small leaves, weak stems
- Older leaves pale or yellow while new ones stay green
Signs of overfeeding
- Brown, crispy leaf tips and edges
- A white salt crust on the soil
- Wilting despite moist soil
The overfeeding signs are the classic marks of concentrated synthetic salts. A pre-measured organic pod releases gradually. If a plant looks hungry and its pod has run its 4 to 6 weeks, place a fresh one. Not sure which it is? The app's photo check-up will tell you.
Never miss a feeding
Photograph a plant and the free BioPod app names it, builds its care guide and reminds you when the next pod is due.
