Most indoor plant foods are a guess: a bit of N, a bit of P, a bit of K and a lot of hope. Foliage Focus is a complete liquid nutrient made in Australia by Growth Technology for plants grown for their leaves — aroids, ferns, palms, calatheas, hoyas and the rare stuff you paid too much for. It carries all 12 essential minerals in a form roots take up immediately, it is pH buffered so you mix it with tap water and go, and it contains no urea, chlorides or sodium, which is why it works in LECA and semi-hydro as well as it does in potting mix. It is not a flowering feed: if the plant is grown for blooms, use Flower Focus. Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.

Built for leaves, not bloomsFormulated for non-flowering plants, common and rare tropicals included. Nitrogen comes as nitrate, the form foliage plants use fastest, with calcium and magnesium alongside it for strong new growth.
Works in LECA, pon and soilOne bottle for every pot in the house. Hydro and semi-hydro at 5–7ml per litre, potting mix at 3–5ml per litre, no separate products to juggle.
No urea, no chlorides, no sodiumUrea needs soil microbes to break down and builds up in inert media. Foliage Focus skips it, so semi-hydro reservoirs stay clean and roots stay healthy.
pH buffered, so tap water is fineMix at the recommended rate and the solution sits where roots want it with most Australian tap water. No pH pen, no adjusting.
All 12 minerals, chelated tracesIron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron and molybdenum are chelated so they stay available instead of locking out in the pot.
Feed every watering, no smellIt is odourless and designed for use at every watering, so there is no feeding calendar to forget and nothing to smell in the lounge room.

Grower's Tip

  • Start at the bottom of the range (3ml per litre in potting mix, 5ml in LECA) and move up as the plant matures. Growth Technology's own advice is to increase strength gradually as the plant approaches maturity.
  • Flush with plain water once a month. Feeding at every watering is only sustainable if you clear the mineral salts that accumulate in the pot.
  • Mix a fresh batch each fortnight. Pre-mixed nutrient keeps for about 1–2 weeks before it is worth replacing.
  • In semi-hydro, a full reservoir change beats topping up. Top-ups concentrate whatever the plant did not use.
  • A 1L bottle at 5ml per litre makes 200 litres of feed. For a shelf of houseplants the 250ml is the honest size; the 5L is for collections and the 20L for growers and plant shops.
  • Store the concentrate somewhere cool and dark. The fridge is not needed, the windowsill is a bad idea.

How To Use It

1Shake the bottle. Measure 5–7ml per litre of water for hydro and semi-hydro, or 3–5ml per litre for soil and potting mix. A syringe or measuring cap is worth the two dollars.
2Add the concentrate to the water, not the other way round, and stir or swirl until mixed. Tap water is fine for most households.
3Water as normal until it runs from the drainage holes, or refill the semi-hydro reservoir to its usual level.
4Repeat at every watering. Plants fed little and often outgrow plants fed hard once a month.
5Once a month, water with plain water only to flush mineral salts out of the pot.
6Keep any mixed solution for no more than two weeks, then tip it on the garden and mix fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Foliage Focus suitable for semi-hydro and LECA?

Yes. It is a complete hydroponic nutrient with no urea, chlorides or sodium, so it works in inert media. Use 5–7ml per litre of water and flush the pot monthly.

Can I use Foliage Focus on flowering plants?

No, not as the main feed. It is formulated for non-flowering foliage plants. For plants grown for blooms, Growth Technology makes Flower Focus, and for orchids the Orchid Focus range.

Do I need to adjust the pH?

No, not with most tap water. Foliage Focus is pH buffered, so at the recommended dose the solution lands in the right range without a pH pen.

How often should I feed?

At every watering, at the recommended dose, with a plain-water flush once a month to clear mineral salts. That is Growth Technology's direction and it suits how most indoor growers already water.

What is the NPK?

Growth Technology publishes a full analysis rather than an NPK ratio: nitrate-nitrogen 2.2%, phosphorus 0.4% and potassium 2.2% w/v, with calcium, magnesium, sulfur and six chelated trace elements. The full table is in Specifications.

Does it smell?

No. Foliage Focus is completely odourless, which matters when the plants live in the lounge room.

How long does a mixed solution last?

About 1–2 weeks. After that, replace it. Mixed nutrient left sitting can start to harbour bacteria or fungi.

Can I use it on rare aroids and variegated plants?

Yes. Growth Technology formulated it for both common and rare tropical varieties. Start at the lower dose and increase as the plant settles in.

Which size should I buy?

250ml suits a shelf of houseplants, 1L a serious collection, 5L a plant room or small nursery, and the 20L is for growers and retailers. The 20L ships on a flat freight rate rather than parcel post.

Welcome to The Grow Guys

We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
