Organic Kelp Meal

Natural Plant Growth Enhancer for Houseplants, Containers & Indoor Gardens
Canadian-sourced, sun-dried and minimally processed for maximum bioavailability

Harness the power of the ocean with high-quality kelp meal produced in Canada, made from sustainably harvested marine kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum). Kelp meal is a time-tested, natural amendment packed with trace minerals, growth hormones, and beneficial compounds that support strong, resilient growth in both soil and soilless indoor gardening systems.

What Is Kelp Meal and Why Use It Indoors?

Kelp meal is made from dried, ground seaweed and contains an incredible range of micronutrients, enzymes, amino acids, and natural plant hormones that help plants thrive under a variety of conditions.

It’s especially prized for its content of cytokinins, auxins, and gibberellins—naturally occurring growth regulators that promote:

  • Stronger root development

  • Faster recovery from stress (e.g., repotting or pruning)

  • Improved leaf size and color

  • Increased resistance to disease, drought, and pest pressure

Even in small amounts, kelp meal provides your plants with the micronutrient support that modern potting soils often lack—making it ideal for long-term houseplant health.

Key Benefits for Houseplants

  • Encourages robust root growth and healthy foliage development

  • Boosts nutrient uptake efficiency, especially when paired with compost or worm castings

  • Improves resistance to environmental stress, including low light, overwatering, or dry air

  • Supports soil microbial activity, which is critical in organic growing systems

  • Provides a wide spectrum of trace minerals (over 60), including magnesium, iron, and zinc

  • Slow-release and non-burning—safe for sensitive indoor plants

How to Use for Houseplants & Indoor Containers

Soil Mixing
Blend into your potting mix before planting:

  • 1 tablespoon per gallon of soil, or

  • ½ cup per cubic foot

Kelp meal is a slow-release amendment, so it feeds your plants gently over time without overwhelming the root zone.

Top-Dressing Potted Plants
Sprinkle 1–2 teaspoons per 6″ pot on the soil surface every 1–2 months. Gently mix it into the top inch of soil and water thoroughly. This maintains micronutrient levels and supports microbial life in the root zone.

Liquid Kelp Tea (for Root Drench or Foliar Spray)
Steep 1 tablespoon of kelp meal in 1 quart of dechlorinated water for 12–24 hours, then strain and use:

  • As a foliar spray every 2–4 weeks to support foliage health and pest resistance

  • As a root drench during transplanting, or anytime your plants need a gentle boost

📦 Available Sizes for Home Use

  • 1 lb Pouch – Ideal for small indoor collections and propagation setups

  • 5 lb Bag – Perfect for a regular care routine across many houseplants

  • 10 lb Bag – Great for larger indoor jungles or for those who also garden outdoors

🧠 Why It Works Indoors

Many houseplant issues begin with poor soil nutrition or environmental stress. Kelp meal brings subtle, sustained support to your plants—not by flooding them with synthetic nutrients, but by enhancing their natural hormonal balance and cellular function.

Think of it as an all-natural “tonic” for your plants. Whether you’re nurturing Monsteras, pothos, ferns, hoyas, or tropicals that need a steady mineral base, kelp meal helps build resilience from the roots up.
