A cloth is fine for a few plants. Gloves are what make it work for a whole collection. Same two bottles as the Essentials Pack, plus the thing that turns leaf-wiping from a job you get to eventually into something you can knock over with a podcast on. Indoor Plant Food goes in the watering can, Neem Oil Leaf Shine lifts the dust the leaves have collected, and the gloves are how you get through the shelf.
What's inside
- Indoor Plant Food (100ml) – Built for foliage, and built for the whole shelf: monstera, pothos, peace lily, rubber plant, ZZ, ferns and palms. A complete liquid feed with nitrogen, potassium, a full set of trace elements and New Zealand seaweed extract. 1ml per litre, every second watering, and one bottle makes up to 100L. No fish in it: vegan-friendly and almost completely odourless.
- Neem Oil Leaf Shine (245ml) – Cold-pressed neem seed oil, pre-mixed and ready to use. No measuring, no mixing, and it keeps for twelve months. Lifts the dust and brings back the leaf's natural gloss, with no silicone, no wax and no artificial shine.
- Leaf Love Gloves – Microfibre spun from recycled PET bottles: super soft on a leaf, and the fibres hold onto the dust instead of pushing it around. Work them dry for a quick pass, or damp with the neem for a proper clean, and take a leaf between both hands to do the top and the underside in one go. One size, stretchy, machine washable.
Plant Food and Neem Oil made in Melbourne by horticulturalists who started out hand-bottling this stuff at local markets. Leaf Love Gloves made in Italy.
Who it's for
- Medium to large collections that want one simple, repeatable routine rather than a shelf of products.
- Anyone who'd rather do feeding and foliage in one session than remember two separate jobs.
- Plants that have coasted through a quiet stretch and look flat rather than unwell.
- Anyone who wants plant care products they don't have to hide in a cupboard.
Where this one goes further
The Plant Runner Method runs light, water, mix, feed — in that order. Light comes first, and keeping the leaf surface clean helps a plant make the most of the light it already has. It's also the only time you look at every plant up close — so as you work along the shelf, notice what's stretching for light, what's drying out faster than the rest, and what's outgrown its pot. Move the ones that need moving, and note the ones that are ready for a repot later.
Feed every second watering while your plants are growing, easing back through the cooler months. For the leaves, spray the neem onto a glove and work along each one, top and underside. Clean them when you can see or feel dust building up — not to a schedule.
