Where it works

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.

Every place you grow

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 weeks

Balcony and patio pots

Outdoor pots dry faster and drink harder, so check them at the four week mark.

1 pod per plant

Window boxes and planters

Several plants in one run of soil. Place one pod near each plant.

1 pod near each plant

Flowering plants

Steady potassium supports blooms and roots without forcing a growth spike.

1 pod every 4 to 6 weeks
How often

Feed by plant size, not by Latin name

How often to feed
Small plant1 pod about every 6 weeks
Medium plant1 pod about every 5 weeks
Large or fast-growing indoor plant2 pods every 4 weeks
Window boxes and long planters1 pod near each plant
Through the short days of winter it is fine to wait for new growth before the next pod. The free BioPod app works this out per plant and reminds you.

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.

Stay on schedule

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.
