THE PLANT GUARDIAN
INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP
PREPARING YOUR PLANT GUARDIAN
Start by diluting your concentrated blend with the desired quantities. Tip: Use a scientific graduated cup for accurate measurements.
Regular Maintenance - 50ml of The Plant Guardian to be diluted in 450ml of water.
Intensive Treatment - 100ml of The Plant Guardian to be diluted in 400ml of water.
GETTING THE TEMPERATURE RIGHT
The Plant Guardian is a unique concentrated mix formulated to be diluted with regular water. To maximise dilution and allow essential oils to mix effectively, use lukewarm water preferably between 23°C and 27°C. Make sure your tap water is on warm. Tip: Use a thermometer to get accurate temperature measurements.
MIXING YOUR PLANT GUARDIAN
Pour the concentrated liquid inside A 500ml spray bootle. Add water. Close. Do not shake, gently stir. After use, keep bottle at room temperature away from direct sun.
Tip: Next time you need your Plant Guardian, gently stir the bottle to get the liquids mixed once again.
PLANT GUARDIAN READY FOR USE
Once your Plant Guardian is diluted, you are ready to start your maintenance or treatment. The spray will be sufficient to treat many plants at a time. It is an economical way to treat and protect whilst leaving them glossy and fresh!
INTENSIVE TREATMENT
Prepare your spray! Follow the dilution guideline for the Intensive Treatment solution: dilute 100ml of concentrated formula in 400ml of lukewarm water.
Protect your soil! To avoid excess water going in to your pot, cover your pot using cling film, foil or a cloth.
The Plant Guardian does not harm the soil nor microorganisms, but water logging can.
Maximum coverage! Depending on the size and volume of your plants, each 500ml bottle can treat as many as:
-
5 small plants (an average of 100ml per plant)
-
3 medium plants (an average of 166ml per plant)
-
1 big plant (one full bottle of 500ml)
Apply thoroughly! Spray both sides of leaves, stems and trunk. Once you remove soil cover, spray a few times on the top soil. Some plant insects lay eggs in the soil. Do not panic beneficial fungi hyphae may form.
Action time! Leave the product do act for at least 1 hour. The active ingredients work by contact and ingestion. Once application is completed, rinse your plant with lukewarm water. Let it dry before returning to the normal spot.
Repeat application! In 7 days, repeat the application. With every application you break the reproductive cycle. Most plant insects eggs hatch between 2-4 days. The egg shell protects them from the spray, hence why a new application is needed. Some infestations may take up to 4 applications, others will finish with the first application.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Prepare your spray! Follow the dilution guideline for the Routine Maintenance solution: dilute 50ml of concentrated formula in 450ml of lukewarm water.
Maximum coverage! Depending on the size and volume of your plants, each 500ml bottle can treat as many as:
-
100 small plants
-
50 medium plants
-
25 big plant
Apply thoroughly! Spray the mixture on both gloves. Use all your fingers to reach hard cracks and crevices. Gently wipe both sides of leaves, stems and trunk. You can spray a few times directly on the top soil. Some plant insects lay eggs in the soil. Do not panic beneficial fungi hyphae may form.
Protection layer! A glossy layer will be formed. It can last up to 4 weeks. Due to its biodegradable nature, the water will evaporate but the active ingredients will be mostly absorbed by the plant. During this time if an insect visits the plant, this preventive layer will make this unpleasant to infest.
Continuous protection! We advise to apply this preventive treatment as part of your routine maintenance at least once a month. Since the protective layer can last up to 4 weeks, the renewal of this layer will ensure your plant is guarded.
