Indoor Plants: The instruction on the bottle (at 1 tablespoon per quart of water) is a very conservative/economical dilution rate that is safe for all plants, primarily potted indoor plants. This dilution is also safe to be used in regular watering intervals. The amount of tea-to-water may be increased depending on the application. For indoor potted plants that are sensitive to watering and nutrition, for example, indoor Azalea, Peace Lilies, and some varieties of Orchids, we recommend not to deviate from the instruction on the bottle. For more hardy indoor plants, such as Philodendron, Ivies, Cast Iron Plant and more, given regular watering use, the dilution can be increased up to around 1:4 (tea:water). For these sorts of hardy plants, measuring the dilution rate carefully isn’t even necessary. Just eyeball it. Dilution can be altered everywhere between. Outdoor Potted Plants: Outdoor potted plants are generally watered more often. In fact, in warmer weather they may need water everyday or even a couple times a day. We recommend not adding compost tea on every watering, but more like once or twice a week or every ten days. The dilution rate can be altered similarly to the ratio of indoor hardy potted plants: around 1:4 (tea:water). Gardens and Flower Beds: For plants that grow directly in the ground, the dilution rate is even less stringent. It can safely go all the way up to 1:1 (tea:water), even if adding everyday. However, that is not necessary and would be rather costly. We recommend using something more like 1:4, once or twice every week or every ten days. Lawns: Grasses generally will not benefit much from the trace nutrients in compost tea unless a very large amount is used, but they may certainly benefit from the microbes and bacteria as disease protection when sprayed directly on the foliage. Given the large volume, we recommend a dilution rate of 4oz per gallon of water. You do not really need to water the soil for this benefit, instead, give the leaves a good soaking. Do this separately from regular watering, and at a time that allows the longest period to the next watering or rain. Trees and Shrubs: The dilution rate for trees and shrubs is similar to gardens and flower beds. It is safe to use at pretty much whatever concentration you want. Our recommendation is a rate of 1:4, maybe a few times a year. If it is a new planting, we suggest increased frequency up to once a week.
Directions for use: Shake well Add 1 tablespoon to each quart of water or 2 ounces to each gallon of water (1 oz. = 2 tbs) Water plants as normal Wash hands after use If sprayed directly on fruits or vegetables, wait 2 days before harvesting Rinse fruits or vegetables before consuming
