Standard Feeding: Mix 1 capful (2 tsp) per gallon of water. Feed weekly during the growing season. Succulents & Rare Plants: Use ½ capful per gallon every other watering. Foliar Feed: Mix ½ capful (1 tsp) per gallon. Do not feed more than once per week. Reduce use during dormant season unless plants are actively growing.

The short answer is “YES”. However we don’t think there is any fertilizer that would be safe for any animal or human to ingest. We specifically state on the label “Not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children”. In the case of pets: If they get any fertilizer (concentrated or diluted) on their skin/fur just rinse with water and they’ll be fine. If they happen to lick a small amount that spilled on the floor. They will be fine. If they were to drink a decent amount of the concentrated fertilizer, we would suggest calling your vet for professional help.

Purived Houseplant Food is 100% mineral based. It is not derived from animal products. No animals were harmed in the making of this product. However, we tested it on “The Beast”, our huge monstera plant and she loved it. 😉

It is safe to use every time you feed/water your plants. When used ad directed, it will not burn your plants or roots. We suggest not using fertilizer n the winter months unless you see new growth.

Absolutely! Purived Houseplant Food is non-toxic and groundwater safe. Just be sure to wash your herbs well before consuming them

Yes, but only when the cutting has started to develop roots. Until then, only use fresh (non chlorinated) water. TIP… Dip the cutting in cinnamon powder to help stimulate root growth. 🙂

No, this is an all-natural “mineral based” inorganic fertilizer that is non-toxic, groundwater safe, and feeds instantly! Remember…. Organic fertilizer nutrients have to be converted (broken down) into inorganic forms by the soil bacteria and fungi before plants can use them, so they typically are more slowly released.

Purived Houseplant Food has a neutral pH of 7

Purived Houseplant Food is a “True solution” it won’t settle or separate. So Yes, it can be pre-mixed and stored. So if you pre-mix a gallon of feed and don’t use the entire gallon then simply store it at room temperature until the next time you water/feed your plants.

Purived Houseplant Food has a shelf life of 2 years.

No…. there are no added salts. But to expand on this question, every fertilizer has a salt index. Which is the measure of “the potential” for that fertilizer to do harm to a plant. Purived Houseplant Food 4-5-5 was specifically formulated to have a very low (nearly untraceable) salt index. When used as directed you cannot harm your plants.

YES… Purived Houseplant food is 100% water soluble! Use the same mixing ratio as the soil drench… 2 tablespoons (1 cap full) per gallon of water.

Water soluble basically means, dissolves in water. All the nutrients are easily broken down, feeding your plants instantly.

No Nitrates, No Chlorides, No Sodium and No Carbonates… It’s “liquid love” for your houseplants and the environment.

Yes! Just add 1/2 of a cap full (1 teaspoon) per gallon of water. Then spray directly onto your plant’s foliage.

The micro-nutrients in Purived Houseplant Food are: Boron, Calcium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum and Zinc.

Purived Potting Mix is designed for houseplant enthusiasts who want premium care for their plants. We worked with a soil scientist to craft a mix that offers excellent drainage, aeration, and moisture retention. It’s packed with premium ingredients like kelp, humic acid, biochar, lava rock, and more. Unlike many potting mixes, we’ve left out fertilizer, giving you full control over how and when to fertilize your plants.

This premium mix is suitable for most indoor potted plants, providing a strong foundation for long-term vitality and vibrant, healthy foliage. However, for plants with specialized needs—such as those requiring significantly more or less moisture retention—consider using a mix tailored to their specific preferences.

No, our mix doesn’t contain fertilizer. This allows you to customize your fertilization routine based on your plant’s specific needs. We recommend pairing it with our Purived Houseplant Food for the best results.

Our potting mix contains Pumice, Aged Bark Fines, Coconut Coir, Sphagnum Peat Moss, Perlite, Lava Rock, Limestone (pH control), Basalt Rock Dust, Kelp Meal, Biochar, Humic Acid (*from Leonardite). Each ingredient was chosen to optimize plant health, drainage, and aeration.

Proper drainage ensures excess water flows away from the roots, preventing conditions that can cause root rot. Our mix is designed to promote excellent drainage and aeration, keeping your plants’ roots healthy and well-oxygenated.

While Purived Potting Mix is formulated for indoor houseplants, it can also work well for potted outdoor plants. However, outdoor plants may have different needs, so consider your plant type and climate when deciding.

Store your potting mix in a cool, dry place and seal the bag to keep it fresh. Avoid exposure to moisture or direct sunlight to prevent it from breaking down prematurely.

If your plants require excellent drainage, aeration, and nutrient-rich soil, this mix is ideal. It’s versatile and suits a variety of houseplants, making it a great choice for plant parents who want an all-purpose solution.

Mix 1 capful (2 tsp) per gallon of water and feed your orchids once a week during active growth. For foliar feeding, use ¼ capful (½ tsp) per gallon and mist the leaves.

Yes! Purived Orchid Food is safe and effective for all orchid varieties, including Phalaenopsis, Dendrobiums, Cattleyas, and Oncidiums. Whether you’re caring for a beginner-friendly grocery store orchid or a rare collector’s specimen, this gentle, balanced formula provides nutrients to encourage steady growth and reblooming without risk of burn when used as directed. For more sensitive orchids, we recommend using half-strength every other watering.

Yes, you can—but use a gentler dose. When your orchid is in bloom or forming buds, we recommend fertilizing at quarter strength (¼ capful per gallon of water). This provides gentle support without overwhelming the plant. Avoid getting fertilizer directly on the buds or flowers, and always water or mist in the morning so the plant dries by night. Some growers prefer to pause feeding during bloom—so monitor how your orchid responds and adjust as needed. If it shows signs of stress, like droopy leaves or dry roots, it’s okay to hold off until it recovers.

During active growth—when you see new roots, leaves, or flower spikes—it’s best to fertilize once a week using the full recommended strength (1 capful per gallon of water). This provides your orchid with steady nutrient support to fuel growth and prepare for blooming. For best results, feed for 3 waterings, then flush with plain water on the 4th to prevent salt buildup. When your orchid is forming buds or in bloom, you can continue fertilizing, but we suggest using quarter strength to avoid stressing the plant. Some growers prefer to pause feeding during bloom—so monitor your plant’s response and adjust as needed. During dormancy (when there’s no visible new growth), reduce feeding or pause completely. If the plant is still relatively inactive, you can fertilize once a month at quarter strength.

Yes! You can mist orchid roots and leaves using a diluted solution (¼ capful per gallon of water). Just be sure to avoid misting the blooms directly, as this can lead to spotting or early flower drop. Always mist in the morning so the plant has time to dry out by evening.

Purived Orchid Food is a super-concentrated, fast-acting formula that delivers incredible value: one 16oz bottle makes over 50 gallons of fertilized water, giving your orchids months of consistent care in just one bottle. What truly sets it apart is its high calcium-magnesium ratio, carefully formulated to reflect the mineral profile orchids commonly encounter in nature. This ideal nutrient balance contributes to root growth, lush foliage, and blooming over time—without overwhelming your orchid. It’s also versatile and easy to use: whether you’re applying it as a soil drench, foliar spray, or in hydro, it blends effortlessly and leaves no mess or odor behind. From first-time plant parents to seasoned orchid lovers, Purived makes it simple to feed with confidence.

Yes! Purived Orchid Food dissolves completely and works beautifully in hydroponic, semi-hydro, or LECA setups. Since these systems retain nutrients longer, we recommend using it at half strength and flushing your setup with plain water every few weeks to prevent salt buildup.

Yes—for some! Purived Orchid Food is gentle enough for epiphytic plants like bromeliads and air plants. For all other houseplants, use Purived Houseplant Food—it’s designed to meet the broader nutritional needs of non-orchid plants.

Store your bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Room temperature is ideal. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses to maintain freshness. With proper storage, Purived Orchid Food stays effective for up to two years.

Yes! While no fertilizer can force an orchid to bloom, Purived Orchid Food is designed to support the conditions orchids need to rebloom. Its balanced formula and high calcium-magnesium ratio provide key nutrients that encourage root development, leaf growth, and energy reserves—giving your orchid what it needs to bloom when conditions are right.

Mix 1 CAP full (2 teaspoons) into 1 gallon of water. Apply directly to soil when watering. During active growth (spring through early fall), feed every other watering. During slow growth or dormancy, reduce to once a month or pause until the plant shows new growth.

Yes. Purived Succulent & Cactus Food is suitable for all types of succulents and cacti, indoors or outdoors. From potted aloe and jade plants to desert cacti, the formula is balanced for these low-maintenance plants when used as directed.

During the growing season, feed every other watering. In cooler months, or when plants are dormant, reduce to once a month or stop until growth resumes. Succulents and cacti generally need less frequent feeding than leafy houseplants.

No. If a plant looks wilted, sunburned, or has just been repotted, wait until it perks up before fertilizing. Feeding during stress can do more harm than good.

Yes. It works for both indoor potted plants and outdoor container or garden succulents and cacti. For outdoor plants exposed to heavy rain, nutrients may wash out faster, so you may need to feed a little more regularly during the growing season.

Yes. Because the formula is fully water-soluble, it can be used in hydro, semi-hydro, or LECA setups. In these systems, use at half strength and flush with plain water occasionally to prevent salt buildup.

It’s simple, concentrated, and easy to use. One 16oz bottle makes over 50 gallons of fertilized water, so it lasts a long time. The gentle liquid formula is odorless, water-soluble, and designed specifically with succulents and cacti in mind.

Keep the bottle tightly closed, stored at room temperature, and out of direct sunlight. With proper storage, it stays effective for up to two years.
