Leaf Shine II 16oz
“Leaf Shine II” Premium Oil Blend + Rosemary
(Pre-released as Ian’s Special Sauce, same great blend now a part of our new lineup!)
Leaf Shine II is unlike anything else available! We take all the benefits of this unique blend of premium organic Horticultural Oils (Sesame, Castor, Flax), pre-emulsified with natural plant derived Saponins (it’s ready to go, no need to mix with messy dish soap!) and top it off with an in-house blend of essential oils that further increase efficacy while smelling amazing. When used in a closed environment (like your home or a greenhouse!) you’ll think someone turned on a diffuser; aromatherapy for you and a boost of health for your plants!
We don’t stop there though! Leaf Shine II also includes all these amazing botanicals derived from our Botanical Tonics:
- FRESH Aloe vera: high in hormones, enzymes, minerals, vitamins, saponins & its cellular water.
- Kelp: Trace minerals, 60 micronutrients, phytohormones, amino acids, vitamins & enzymes.
- LIVE Sprout Blend: We germinate & extract massive amounts of Fresh, living sprouts high in all the phytohormones, enzymes, minerals and cellular water.
- Terpene rich herbs such as Rosemary, Star Anise & our Citrus Peel blend.
- Soapnut berry: High in minerals & loaded with Saponins. Saponins are known to deter pests and trigger the plants natural immune system.
Application:
Shake well before use.
Foliar spray with 10ml / 2x tsp per gallon. 2.5ml or 1/2 tsp for a 32oz spray bottle.
Concentrated formula, a little goes a long way!
Optional: Wipe leaves of houseplants after applying to clean leaves & enhance shine.
Evening application recommended outside, once the sun has passed, avoid times of intense light/heat.
Spot test and wait 24-48hrs before fully applying on known sensitive plants.
16oz Bottle makes 48x gallons of ready to use solution or the equivalent of 192x 32oz spray bottles!
Houseplants:
Spray entire plant, tops and bottoms of leaves, stems etc. I spray until the plant is dripping. Wipe tops of leaves to enhance shine and remove dust/debris allowing for more opimal photosynethis. Apply as often as once weekly, as little as once monthly or “as needed” for maintenace.
For pest outbreaks spray 3x over the course of one week. 2x the second week and then resume a normal routine schedule.
If plants will be in the sun or under bright lighting, remove from light while spraying and wait until dry to place back in their spot, or wait until sun has pass or right before indoor lighting is turned off.
Vegetable/Herb Garden:
Same as above. No need to wipe leaves on outdoor plants. Spray early morning or after sun has passed.
Spray early and often especially when it comes to crops known to very susceptible to pests. Prevention is key! Think about such crops as cucumbers, squashes and melons being very prone to powdery mildew. Build a soil rich in minerals and humus (check out our rock dust and biochar!) to create plants with strong structure and healthy immune system and spray early and often to prevent spores from taking hold on the leaves!
People, Pet, Plant & Planet safe, all our Botanical Tonic & Leaf Shine ingredients are derived from plants and are food or medical grade. This is incredibly important to us! The products and inputs we use in the garden and on the plants in our home can and should be safe even on our own skin! You might recognize some of our botanicals from the ingredients in your skin and hair care products and I think it is by no mistake that my research has proven to show that many of the plant produced compounds we find beneficial to human health are also benefical to plant health!
