  • Flourish is the BEST. I thought I had to toss my plant after it died in the Texas heat - see the after photo after just 2 months with Flourish. I also love how convenient Flourish is to have around the house. I finally feel like I’m properly taking care of my plants!!!

  • I had a plant that had droopy looking leaves and after a few weeks of using flourish, I noticed the leaves starting to pop up again. My plants have definitely been thriving since I’ve been using flourish.

  • Truly I had almost killed my beautiful monstera by being an idiot + neglect (not to mention seeing months upon months of no growth) and just three weeks after using flourish regularly I saw new leaves coming in 😭😍

    The dropper mechanism isn’t the best so at first I wasn’t confident I was using the right / wrong amount

  • Love that it came with its own pouring container. I have used it twice so far and waiting to see the results. Updated photo shown, wow!!!!

    Feedback

    Nothing to say as of right now. It said that I would see results after 2-3 uses.

  • I am quite the newbie when it comes to taking care of house plants, but some months ago I bought a pilea to see if I could keep one of these alive. To my surprise, I have not really had any trouble with doing so, and my little plant had been surviving. When I heard about Flourish plant food, I did want to try it. Even though my plant was not in a very bad state, I did think it wasn't always the happiest looking, so perhaps this could give it the boost it needs. And after using this a few times, my plant looks better than ever! Though I will admit I am not the most consistent with using it. After two times of using the product I forgot to use it for a while, and when I tried to use it again, the dropper was clogged! I tried my best to empty it but to no avail. In addition, the little beaker I got had a crack in it after maybe the first hand wash. Which was a bummer since it had barely been used. But on the third wash, it broke completely! So now I was left with a broken vessel and clogged dropper. I reached out to customer service to let them know my situation, and they were so incredibly kind by offering me a whole new set! Now with my unbroken vessel and unclogged dropper, I can continue to feed my plant! I cannot say how effective it is for plants that are in worse shape, however, but at the very least my plant still lives on after it has been fed this product.

    Feedback

    The vessel for pouring the solution onto the plant is extremely fragile. I think using a thicker glass for the vessel would go a long way to prevent it from easily breaking. I know I wasn't the only one who had to deal with a broken vessel. I would also recommend adding something in the FAQ detailing how to unclog a stuck dropper, or at least include a warning of how to prevent this from happening.

  • I received Flourish through Thingdrop and absolutely loved unboxing this!!! Such beautiful branding and I love that it makes your plant supplies something you can display without it looking unappealing. My plants have been doing very well since using this and I’ve even seen a couple of new leaves!

    Feedback

    First off I love the pitcher and dropper but as far as mixing up the food with water for your plants it’s a bit open ended. And I’m not sure if you use this on all plants or just one. It also uses quite a bit, so you would be purchasing new bottles quite frequently, especially if you have a lot of plants. For that reason it’s a bit pricey in my opinion and may not be a financially sustainable option for some.

  • I think the brand that Kate and Lila are building is really cool, and this is coming from someone whose plant knowledge extends no further than that they grow through water and sunlight. My mom and sister are really into plants, so I got the product for them to try. So far so good! I'm personally a massive fan of the branding and website. To me, Flourish is 'elegant meets granola.' Their journal is fun and quirky, their plant guide is actually helpful, and I really, really like how they gamify consumers taking care of a plant on the website through Flourish3 for perks. Excited for what's to come!

  • First off, love the dedicated vessel for the plant food. The glass is definitely thin and I see that it has broken for others so I’ll make sure to handle it delicately, but I’m a fan so far. I appreciate the measurement marking on the side of the glass and the design is great. As for the plant food itself, I haven’t seen a huge change in my plants yet but I know this is a long-term product and will most likely see growth slowly. I will finish my bottle of Flourish and continue on if my plants seem happier after using it.

    Feedback

    I have two large plants and four small plants so I had to look up how to divide the food amongst them, but I understand this is a gray area depending on the type of plant and the size so the instructions seem a little unclear. Maybe they could give us some more examples of drops of flourish needed for different situations? The bottle also seems a little small, especially if you’re using more than two droppers each time.

  • I started using flourish over the summer to boost my plants! It is truly a life saver. My plants needed this type of love. The packaging and aesthetic is also so cute. Perfect to keep out on the counter.

  • So...I am new-ish to this plant game and love my plant babies. But I would be lying if I said I didn't struggle to keep them alive. So for someone like me, Flourish Plant is AMAZING. It comes in a cute package with easy-to-follow instructions. I've used the plant food for about two weeks and can't wait to watch my plant babies grow. I also love the plant guide on the website. I will be buying more of this when I run out.

    Feedback

    I wish there was less packaging so it was more eco-friendly. I felt like the product could have some in a MUCH smaller box with less paper.

  • I really enjoyed opening this cute pink and red box from Flourish Plant. The packaging and over all presentation is lovely. I'm going to spend some time with this product and I will return to give updates on my thoughts of the fertilizer. I just got back from vacation and my babies (plants) are in dire need of a little TLC.

  • I absolutely love the branding and packaging. It makes plant care fee really cool. I’ve never used any other plant food supplement before and I’ve lost so many plants (specifically herbs) because of that I think. My large plant was looking pretty sick so I used six dropper fulls once a week for a month and it’s looking a lot better! The dead leaves fell off whereas before I couldn’t even pull them off. I did trim some of the dead ends but the brown spots that were in the middle of the leaves seemed to have shrunk! I’ve had a basil plant and mint plant for a month now and use one-two dropper fulls for each once a week and they’re still looking really healthy whereas in the past those plants would have been goners by now. When I have extra income to spend on plant care I would definitely repurchase this for the branding and ease of this product.

    Feedback

    I do think the product is a bit expensive and it seems from some other reviews other cheaper, just as good products.

  • I've been using flourish for a few months now and I haven't noticed any difference in my plants, sadly. Also, my glass beaker arrived broken, I feel that the packaging isn't sufficient for such a delicate item. *Updated to add that the brand founder (Lila) did reach out and offered (very kindly) to send me a new vessel, which was very much appreciated.

    Feedback

    I think the price seems steep for what you get, especially considering that you're supposed to use so many droppers per 8 oz. Honestly, the plant food at my local greenhouse isn't as pretty, but the size is much larger and it costs a lot less.

  • I ordered Flourish fertilizer through a Thingdrop and received the product a few days ago. I have been a plant nerd for about 10 years now and have tried 6+ fertilizers over the years, and felt that I had found the best fertilizer for my aroid collection already (I will leave the name out, out of respect for Flourish 🙂), so I will certainly be discerning with my review! I have set calendar reminders to update this review at the 1 month and 3 month mark. 5/10/22: really adore the branding and packaging, the unboxing experience was great. The glass dilution vessel is a nice touch and something that I don't feel the need to put under my sink. I fed it to two of my recently-rooted philodendron cuttings and look forward to seeing how it does!

    Feedback

    It wasn't very clear how much of the diluted mix should be used per plant (I found the answer in their website FAQs but it would have been better if it was included in the printed materials/packaging!). No other feedback yet!

  • Jan 2024 update All the plants I used this on died !! Including the hardy ones I've had for years (spider plant, snake plant, pilea, etc). If you want to see your plants slowly wilt to death, this is the product for you !!!! ------------------------------------------------ tldr my plants are alive so I guess it doesn't not work I usually use Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food and my plants love it. They seem to like Flourish too, but they don't know how much it costs. But I'm sure if they could see the cute packaging they would love it more. Overall, no complaints with the formula. It works as well as the cheap stuff. I just have to remind myself that it costs money to live an a e s t h e t i c life ✨

    The included pitcher is annoying. You have to pour at a specific angle or the liquid will either dribble down or flood out. Now I just use the glass for measuring and mixing before transferring to my Ikea gooseneck watering can.

  • This SAVED my fiddle fig. I forgot to water her and she dropped a ton of leaves. I watered with flourish, and ~5 days later, I have so much new growth. She’s also helped my bird of paradise grow 3+ big leaves, and my pothos are all fuller and perkier than ever.

    Feedback

    The price. For full transparency, I bought this product through a thingdrop, but it’s so expensive full price. I’ve never used other plant foods though, so I can’t speak to the incremental value for the price

  • I started using flourish and within a week or two started seeing new growth on my plants! They love it and I am glad I can find such an easy and effective fertilizer.

    Feedback

    The smell takes a little getting used to when you first open the bottle, but once it is diluted there is not a lingering smell.

  • My plants have truly FLOURISHED! I’ve never used a product that has shown noticeable growth in such a short amount of time. I use Flourish on every plant in my apartment (snake plants, succulents, flowers, peace lily) and all have responded so well. The dropper makes the product easy to use and the bottle so cute, you’ll want to put it on display. If you love your plants, you need Flourish!

  • Flourish is an incredible product. I have seen such improvement with all of my houseplants, including my most finicky ones. I’ve seen growth from plants that have never even sprouted a new leaf before! The beaker provided is also a great add to the overall experience. It’s so easy to measure out the proper amount. My favorite part of flourish is how beautifully packaged the bottle is. I prefer this local aesthetic brand over an ugly bag of commercial fertilizer a million times over! Thanks Flourish!

  • My plants are noticeably THRIVING since I’ve started using Flourish while watering!! It’s crazy. I’m talking DOUBLING in size after just 3-4 times of watering! Highly recommend watering your plants with Flourish, especially if you don’t have a green thumb. Or even if you do! My plants are all so happy and so am I :)

    Feedback

    The only thing that could use improvement is the dropper. Mine got clogged pretty quick and doesn’t work anymore, so I kind of pour it which isn’t ideal. However, the formula is AMAZING.
