Plant Probiotics - Shaker Jar

Needs a better cap, it comes out *way* too fast.

Think of your plant's soil like you think about your gut. When you take an antibiotic, what often happens? Well, you can get another nasty fungal or bacterial infection because of the antibiotic- like candida, c. diff, or other opportunistic organisms. These can be worse than the infection that you were treating in the first place.Soil is like your gut. When you use the tap to water your plants, you are dumping a lot of chlorine on their roots. Chlorine is an anti-biotic, meaning it kills bacteria, both bad and good. When it comes out of the tap or hose, chlorine is still present and can kill beneficial microbes in your soil.What happens to a lot of vegetable plants? Well over time they develop blight, bacterial infections, fungal diseases, etc. Not usually when they are seedlings, but when they are full grown Why is this? Because you've been dumping antibiotics (chlorine) on the roots the whole time and you've sterilized the soil, allowing opportunistic infections to gain a foothold.Because most people have no other option but to use tap water, the key is to add beneficial fungus and bacteria to your soil, to build up a healthy ecosystem at the roots. You'll see the results in the growth and strength of your plants. This year I nurtured 20 foot heirloom tomato plants using the plant probiotics from this company. Great product and highly recommended!

After reading some books on living soils and the benefits to plants I decided to give this a shot on some house plants. I didn’t have a huge expectation but it made a noticeable difference pretty quickly. Users will have best results using only organic fertilizers to keep a healthy environment for the microbes. Slow release nature of organic fertilizers will also encourage plants to make symbiotic relationships with the microbes they prefer.

On time delivery.Applied the first small TEST application just prior to the rains. Hence, the microscopic boys and girls in Plant Probiotics were driven a tad deeper into the soil. Within days, the entire garden sprang up—up healthy and happy.Especially good for those who use or have overly used synthetic fertilizers with salts, and the ones who over use chlorinated water that comes from the faucet and garden hose.A bit pricey for the average bear to be introducing ,albeit, absolutely worth the outcome. So buy Plant Probiotics if you have the extra cha-ching.Best of Luck!.

A good mix, but when comparing to other products in the same league (e.g. Recharge), this line is overpriced.

How do you know when bacteria in the soil and plant are working? It kept my outdoor plants and blooms healthy. I normally would have bloom rot, but not this year. I will continue to use this product.

I use probiotics for myself and why shouldn't I for my plants? So glad that there is something like this to get my plants to grow lush and tall. My calathea is looking better and I think it needed a little boost during these winter months. Plus this little shaker jar goes a long way with a 100 square feet of coverage. Plenty for my little urban jungle I have going on my apartment!

I have used Plant Probiotics for years and have always been so impressed with how much it helps my plants grow in our tough California conditions, but this was the first time I ordered the shaker jar and it made applying it so so easy! And it brought my dying Russian sage plants back to life! (check out my before and after pictures). A really great product.
