Did you know that virtually every part of the neem tree is useful?

Bark, resin, seed, wood, leaf, flower and stem are key ingredients in many hair care, dental hygiene and cosmetic products. You can find neem on the ingredient list of many pet care products too! But most of us think of neem as a natural agricultural pest care product. Let's learn why!

Neem is chalk full of antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti inflammatory properties. We could go on and on listing the myriad of the practical uses this resourceful tree provides, but today let’s focus on one: neem as a key ingredient in our plant care tonics.

Kelp! An most abundant and nutrient rich resource for our plants.

Let's unlock the secrets of plant wisdom as we dive deep into the ingredients that create our botanical tonics. Our adventure begins at the original source of life — the Sea.

Cleaning leaves and enjoying that afterglow is a such rewarding plant care ritual! Spraying your plants and being rewarded with that radiant, healthy shine is a plant parent joy, a bit like putting on a fresh coat of paint.

When we offer plants nutrients via their leaves it’s called ‘foliar feeding’ and it’s where our botanical tonics shine! Foliar feeding helps treat nutrient deficiencies while boosting plant growth, plus it’s a fantastic way to clean leaves while preventing and treating pests!

The question we hear most often is: to mist or to soak?

The answer: it really depends on your environment and where you keep air plants.

Just as the frequency and amount of water and nutrients you give your houseplants depends on your indoor environment, where your plants grow how much light, humidity and the temperature are all factors in deciding what is the right method for you and your air plants.

We have guidelines to help you along that journey! 

If you discover the telltale signs of spider mites on your plants: tiny webbing, pale color leaves, tiny yellow spots, or miniature spider like critters hiking around the foliage of your plant babies, take a deep breath, exhale, it's going to be ok, we got you!

Let's begin by learning what spider mites love most, chlorophyll and an overabundance of nitrogen.

Thrips! We are here to help save your plant.

Let’s just jump right in. Thrips are the most persistent and annoying houseplant pest I’ve dealt with in my many years of plant parenthood. Yes, even more annoying than those darn fungus gnats that fly right into your face. 

If you notice light tan to dark brown colored, oval shaped, flat bugs clustered together and surrounded by sticky, clear droplets of 'honeydew' on your leaves, most likely you've discovered a scale infestation. These little insects are tiny but mighty sap feeding destroyers of houseplants and gardens alike. They are insidious, affecting seemingly healthy plants meanwhile the plant’s life-force is being sucked dry leading to an eventual decay.

But no need to worry friends! We've tested our Sacred Tonics against these pests and are excited to share that we have found success, and the results are our happily glowing houseplants!

Why do Marimo sink, and what makes them float? Excellent question friends. Here's what we have learned.

Many of us know lightning a citronella candle helps keep mosquitos at bay on a warm summer evenings, but did you know there are other aromatic plants that repel mosquitos, gnats, no-see-ums (which incidentally is the most appropriately named bug of all time) and other pesky bugs?

Peppermint, rosemary, and lavender we think of as 'grandparent herbs'. Our wise elders. These medicinal herbs can be grown in most climates and are gentle at keeping unwanted insects away during those lovely summer months when we finally get outside to soak up nature!
