Your Simple Plant Care Rhythm

Keeping plants healthy only takes a few small habits.

✓ Hang sticky cards (indoor stands only)
✓ Mix your Plant Defense Elixir
✓ Spray plants every 3–4 weeks
✓ Spot treat if you notice any issues

Consistency matters more than perfection.

 

Hang Sticky Cards (Indoor Farmstands)

Sticky cards help monitor and reduce unwanted indoor debris before it becomes an issue.

How to place them:

  • Hang one card on every other level of your Farmstand
  • Loosely attach cards to grow lights using the green twist ties
  • Remove the paper backing once in place

Replace cards every 3 months or sooner if they become full.

 

Mix Your Plant Defense Elixir

In the 10 oz spray bottle, combine:

  • ½ capful Arber Organic Insecticide
  • 1 teaspoon Oregon Double Mint Castile Soap
  • 2 tablespoons 6% Hydrogen Peroxide

Fill the rest of the bottle with cool water, then shake well.

Important:
Always mix a fresh bottle before spraying. Avoid using Arber Fungicide within 24 hours before or after applying the Elixir.

 

Monthly Application

Spray plants every 3–4 weeks, lightly coating both the tops and undersides of leaves.

Miss a spray? No stress. Just resume your regular rhythm.

Indoor plants

  • Spray at night with lights off
  • Keep lights off for about 5 hours after spraying

Outdoor plants

  • Spray early morning or late evening


Spot It, Spray It

While harvesting, take a quick look at your plants.

If you notice any damage, debris, or residue, spray the affected leaves immediately.

If needed:

  • Repeat after 5 days
  • Continue every 5 days until the issue resolves
