Why do my plants have yellow leaves ... ?
If leaves turn yellow slowly, there may be too much lime in your water. Try to reduce watering, check soil pH and unlock the lime with Eartheart 18-16-9.
This plant may need a transplant into fresh, high quality potting soil. Try charcoal in the potting soil and even a drink of “lukewarm” hot tea to adjust the pH.
It is possible that there is insufficient nitrogen. Apply Eartheart 18-16-9.

Why do my houseplants have bugs ... ?
Plants are a lot like humans. If your immune system is built up, there is a good chance you will not catch a cold. Plants also have an immune system. By feeding regularly with Eartheart 18-16-9, you can build strength and insects problems are less likely to occur. If you need more help, we suggest Eartheart Insect Spray. These products are made from a synthetic permethrin, thus are safe to all warm blooded creatures. This spray is very effective in “knocking out” insects.

Some plants require a change in diet during their growth cycle. For example, young plants should start with a high phosphate plant food like FloweR PoweR 10-30-8, then change to Eartheart 18-16-9 once established.

Why do some leaves on my plants become deformed ... ?
This is definitely a symptom of illness from insects or diet. Check the leaf and soil for insects. Use a magnifying glass if you need to, then isolate this plant from all the others. If you find bugs on this plant, spray with Eartheart Insect Spray.

Why do my plants have brown edges on the leaves ... ?
Commonly called tipburn, this could be due to excess fertilization, especially with perto-chemical fertilizers. Chemical insect sprays from aerosol cans can cause tip burning. A cold area, such as near windows or doors can also cause brown edges. Stop feeding with petro-chemical fertilizers and chemical insect sprays. Water well for 1-4 weeks depending on the plant and then resume feeding with Eartheart 18-16-9 All Purpose Plant Food or Eartheart All Purpose Insect Spray.

Why do my plants suddenly drop leaves ... ?
This indicates SHOCK due to a sudden change in temperature, change in sunlight or too much harsh petro-chemical fertilizer. Trim upper growth, re-pot if in a pot, and then apply Eartheart 18-16-9.
