House Plant Elixir

Ultra-Concentrated
3.4 FL OZ 100ML

WHAT IT IS

The Elixir is like a multivitamin for your house plants. The formula contains macro and micronutrients which provide the all-round nutrition your house plant needs. The actives will boost chlorophyll production, photosynthetic rate and resilience. Practically, this means larger foliage, stronger stems, and greater resistance to common plant stressors like forgetting to water for several weeks.

The ultra concentrated formulation is designed to feed a typical family of 15 mixed size house plants for over 4 months.

Why the Elixir is so special

Renewable ingredients

Our elemental ingredients use pioneering circular economy technology to reduce this product’s CO2 emissions and impact on the environment.

Shake to activate

Shaking the elixir ensures that all solids which may have crystallised out of solution are re-dissolved. The energy in the water that the macro and micronutrients are dissolved in will have slightly lowered as the elixir sits still on a shelf. As a result, some of the ions may have been attracted to each other and formed a crystalline solid. By shaking, you energise the water. As water molecules have a slightly polarised charge, they act to pull apart the ions which will have come together to form a crystalline solid. We want these ions to be evenly dispersed every time we apply the Elixir to our plants to ensure consistent, high-performance results.

Actives

Macronutrients

Plant macronutrients are essential for proper growth.

• Magnesium
• Nitrogen
• Phosphorus
• Potassium

Micronutrients

Plant micronutrients are essential for proper growth, but they’re only needed in small amounts to make a mighty impact. If a plant were a car, micronutrients would be responsible for controlling the small, but essential, parts like seat belts, airbags, windscreen wipers and so on.

• Boron
• Copper
• Iron
• Manganese
• Molybdenum
• Zinc

Advanced scientific information

What does 7-3-5 N-P-K mean?
7-3-5 indicates 7% nitrogen (N), 3% phosphorous (P) pentoxide and 5% potassium (K) oxide. This balance was chosen to reflect the natural environment of most houseplants; it has a lower phosphorous level than most conventional fertilisers to reflect the fact that houseplants are less likely to develop flowers and more likely to concentrate resources on their leaf growth.

How can I envisage what’s in the Elixir?
The elixir contains macronutrients (like potassium) at a high concentration; these are necessary for the fundamental growth of the plant. It then contains essential micronutrients (like magnesium) in tiny doses to allow plants to form essential linkages. There are more ions of nitrogen in one bottle of elixir than there are stars in the sky. (7.5 x 10²² stars in the universe vs. 3 x 10²³ atoms of N in Sowvital) If the Magnesium ions in Sowvital were peas lined up together, they would loop 317 times around the sun and earth. (7.5x10²¹ Mg ions in Sowvital).

Did you know?

The word elixir was introduced into latin from the arabic word *al-ʾiksīr* (الإكسير). For centuries the word elixir was used to describe an alchemical substance, a liquid which converted lead to gold, cured all ills and gave eternal life. When medicine took over from alchemy, the word started to mean a sweet, potent liquid which people drank to restore their health.

Sowvital uses the word elixir to invoke a combination of the purest spring showers and the most nourishing mineral extracts from the earth. The natural world in a bottle for your plants.
