Sowvital makes a 3-step plant fertilizer routine to maintain healthy plants at home.  

🪴🥼🔬🪴🥼🔬🪴🥼🔬🪴🥼🔬🪴🥼🔬🪴🥼🔬

❋ We carry our philosophy in our name: ‘sow’ i.e., to plant or seed, and ‘vital’, i.e., that which is essential and full of life. We create modern plant food formulations for the metropolitan gardener in order to breathe life back into the shared spaces of people and plants. 

❋ Sowvital is a plant sciences brand whose mission is to reconnect people and their plants through scientifically and mindfully informed nourishment and care rituals. We promote a balanced and conscious way of life through the incorporation of house plants, botanical knowledge, and the three-step routine into the home. 

❋ Plants grown in pots (like house plants) rely on a carefully balanced diet of nutrients if they are to thrive. In the wild, a plant’s dietary needs are met by a naturally calibrated ground soil ecosystem: nutrients from pure mineral rock deposits and decaying debris circulate in the soil. In a city apartment, locked in a pot, however, a house plant is dependent on its human owner to regularly provide it with the essential nutrients for it to flourish.

❋ Despite its importance, we discovered many urban plant parents were skipping the nourishment step in their routine. Plant food seemed to have slipped off the radar: an old relic or afterthought, which is found in a grandparent’s garden shed. Sowvital’s community is built around a desire to nourish plants, with certified animal free, environmentally conscious and apartment appropriate formulations.

❋ We consciously make sure all of our formulations are animal-free. By creating animal-free fertilisers we avoid supporting unethical factory farming methods. These factory farming methods are responsible for 11% of the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the destruction of vital ecosystems. We’re proud to bear the coveted Vegan Trademark, meaning that not only do we not use animal-derived ingredients, but we don’t test formulations or ingredients on them, either.

❋ We are pioneering a circular economy nutrient supply chain in which we reuse materials and minimise the demand for natural resources. At Sowvital, we’ve worked to find sustainable alternatives. Our core ingredients such as zinc and manganese (vital for a plant’s health) are extracted from recycling waste products through a cutting-edge low-carbon extraction process, which takes place at room temperature, allowing for lower energy consumption. Sowvital’s products are more than a plant care regime. They represent a way of life which advocates for a greener future and that makes a conscious effort to be informed, vigilant and proactive in helping to nourish and heal our planet in our homes and communities.

I look forward seeing what’s next for this brand!

This routine did wonders for my plants! My drama queen in chief Alocasia black velvet even gave me the honour of flourishing for the first time ever thanks to the elixir (you know how dramatic Alocasias can be…). A friend gave me a cut of Monstera and it became huge quite fast too. I think it also helped one of my Pileas to come back to life. Also, the cleanser is perfect: I don’t use tap water as I don’t want it to create white spots on the leaves but I felt really self conscious about using specific water or milk (my mom uses milk) for this purpose as I have quite a lot of plants. The cleanser really makes them shine. The products are also beautiful and sit well on my shelves next to my books: it’s handy because as I live in Paris city center I don’t really have space to store huge and ugly plant food bags. To make it short this product is handy, effective and beautiful :)

Looking forward to further products that get brought out, and would consider having a little booklet included in the elixir which provides more information, as I think there could be even greater detail about how each of the actives work for the plants. 

I have used the products for approximately 4 months now. What do I love:

1. Sowvital creates a clear weekly routine for you to follow to help manage having house plants. Step 1: Cleanse, Step 2: Nourish and Step 3: Spritz. This has given a clear framework and structure which has helped (and also made me really enjoy) caring for my house plants. It's not so much a chore as a really nice ritual (kinda like skincare).

2. The products really work. The antimicrobial aomori hiba they use in the leaf cleanser has definitely helped prevent mould on the leaves. I've also seen much more growth than usual on my plants: new leaves etc from using the elixir.  

3. The brand is so elegantly designed and the products are beautiful to put out on display.  

I'm definitely not green fingered and my house plants have always been on the verge of dying. Topping them up every week with a bit of water and hoping! 

The Sowvital Plant Care products stops this, just add their elixir to the prescribed dose and away you go. With the 3 step routine and also the advise on the website makes this idiot proof!

And there is no need to hide this under the sink! The beautiful bottles want to be on display and should be!

The elixir has helped to improve the growth of my plant and the cleanser has made the leaves very shiny!
