Indoor Plants

Potted roots grown with Effective Microorganisms

Household plants can easily be maintained with Effective Microorganisms™. Spraying the leaves with EM•1^® can help deal with any problems on the leaves and leave the plants looking great. A weekly spraying of EM•1^® and water will help your indoor plants thrive, giving longer blooms and brighter flowers. It is easy. EM•1^® Microbial Inoculant adds enzymes, trace minerals, and various B-complex vitamins to the soil...all of which can feed the plants.

Mix 3/4 teaspoon of EM•1^® in a gallon of water and water your plants. You can also mist the plants once or twice a week with this solution. If you are in the habit of watering on a daily basis, use a 1/4 teaspoon in the gallon of water and water daily.

Make sure to feed the plants some nutrients once a month or so to prevent nutrient loss from the EM•1^®. (Effective Microorganisms™ needs food too and will use some of the nutrients in the potting soil to survive.)

You can also mix in some EM•1^® Bokashi with the potting soil when you are potting the plants. Usually a ratio of 1%-3% of EM•1^® Bokashi is added to the potting soil.

Testimonial

Many years ago when receiving our first bottle of EM•1^®, my kids and I tried an experiment. We purchased two small parsley plants at the local market. In the evening before going to bed we sprayed one of the plants with EM•1^® diluted as directed. The other plant was sprayed just with water. In the morning the plant that had been sprayed with the EM•1^® had grown about 1/2 inch taller than the plant that had not been sprayed. The leaves were standing up straighter. It just about spoke to us and said "I'm happy." That's what it looked like to a Mom and her two young homeschoolers. It made us happy too.

Thank you
