🪴 Happy Houseplants: Care Tips & Fertilizer Help from GardenIQ

Houseplants are more than just décor — they’re living, breathing mood boosters. Whether you’ve got a leafy monstera showing off in the corner or a scrappy little jade plant in the kitchen window, keeping your plants healthy comes down to two things: smart care and the right nutrients.

Strong roots are the foundation of a healthy houseplant. Supporting root growth helps your plant absorb nutrients more effectively and recover from stress.

That’s where we come in.

🌱 Meet the Usual Suspects (and How to Keep Them Happy)

Our customers (and our own homes!) are full of favorites like:

  • Pothos – practically unkillable, thrives on bright indirect light and a good drink every now and then.
  • Snake Plants – low maintenance, high reward. Water sparingly, they hate wet feet.
  • Monstera – loves humidity, space to stretch, and a climbable pole.
  • Succulents & Aloe – more sun, less water. Good drainage is key.
  • Jade Plants (Portulacaria afra) – great for bonsai vibes, loves bright light.
  • Lucky Bamboo & Money Trees – lower light champs, but still appreciate a nutrient boost.
  • Herbs like Rosemary – thrive indoors with strong light and steady feeding.

Whatever your plant lineup, one thing’s true across the board: they need more than just water to really thrive.


💧 Feeding Time: What to Use & When

Our two go-to products for houseplants are:

RhizoCarbon

Think of this as a multivitamin and energy drink for your plants — packed with highly accessible soluble carbon to fuel root development and growth from the ground up. Great for foliage, resilience, and strong roots.

Doonbeg (optional but awesome)

A plant superfood powered by North Atlantic sea kelp + blackstrap molasses. It’s like giving your plants a smoothie made of everything they love — rich in trace nutrients, natural sugars, and biological boosters.

Both formulas feature our proprietary Nutrx™ Technology, which includes:

  • Fulvic & Humic Acids – carbon that builds roots and plant structure
  • Enzymes & Protein Complexes – unlock nutrients fast
  • Essential Minerals – support chlorophyll, photosynthesis, and water absorption

These aren’t just fancy words — our formulas are based on over 40 years of professional use through our parent company, Enhanced Organics, where commercial growers have trusted us with their livelihoods.


🧪 How to Use It

It’s easy:

  • Mix 1–4 oz of RhizoCarbon and/or Doonbeg per 1 gallon of water
  • Apply during regular watering (use a watering can or small container)
  • Feed every 1–2 weeks in spring/summer, and every 2–4 weeks in fall/winter

Yes, it’s that simple — but your plants will thank you like you just sent them to a spa.


🌿 Final Thoughts

Healthy houseplants aren’t just about luck — they’re about smart care, and that includes the nutrients they’re soaking up. Whether you’re a brand-new plant parent or you’ve got a whole jungle in your living room, adding GardenIQ’s smart nutrition can take your greenery to the next level.

Because when roots thrive, everything grows.
