Product Name: Umya Foliar Spray

Commonly known as: Multi Foliar nurtient spray

Active Nutrient Components: Balanced macro and micronutrients with chelated trace elements

Umya Multi Foliar Spray is a foliar nutrient supplement designed to deliver fast and efficient nutrient support directly through plant leaves. Foliar feeding allows plants to absorb nutrients through leaf surfaces rather than relying solely on root uptake. This method provides rapid nutrient access and helps correct imbalances during periods of stress or slow root activity.

Indoor plants often experience restricted root zones, inconsistent watering and fluctuating environmental conditions. These factors can limit nutrient availability in container-grown plants. Foliar feeding helps bypass these limitations by supplying nutrients directly to leaf tissue where plants can absorb and utilise them quickly.

Multi Foliar Spray contains a balanced blend of macro and micronutrients formulated to support leaf colour, growth stability and overall plant vigour. The chelated nutrient structure improves nutrient absorption and reduces the risk of nutrient lockout in container growing systems.

This supplement works particularly well during active growth phases, recovery from repotting or transport stress and periods when plants show early signs of nutrient deficiency. Foliar feeding does not replace a complete fertiliser programme. Instead, it supports nutrient balance and improves plant responsiveness when used alongside regular feeding schedules.

When combined with a balanced fertiliser such as Novatec Soluble Fertiliser, Grobest Organic Fertiliser or TerraPlus Natura N, foliar feeding supports consistent plant growth and improves nutrient efficiency.

What is foliar feeding and why does it work?

Foliar feeding supplies nutrients directly through plant leaves. Plants absorb dissolved nutrients through stomata and leaf tissue. This process allows nutrients to enter the plant quickly.

Root feeding remains the primary feeding method. However, foliar feeding provides fast support when root uptake slows due to stress, root disturbance or environmental changes.

When should Multi Foliar Spray be used?

Use foliar feeding when plants show signs of nutrient imbalance, slow growth or stress. It works well after repotting, during seasonal transitions or when plants recover from transport.

It also supports plants during periods of rapid leaf development when nutrient demand increases.

How often should Multi Foliar Spray be applied?

Apply during active growth periods or when plants require additional nutrient support. Spray evenly onto foliage during cooler parts of the day to improve absorption.

Reduce or stop application during winter dormancy when plant growth slows naturally.

Can Multi Foliar Spray replace fertiliser?

No. Foliar feeding supports nutrient balance but does not replace complete fertiliser programmes. It works best when used alongside balanced feeding schedules such as:

• Novatec Soluble Fertiliser
• Grobest Organic Fertiliser
• TerraPlus Natura N
• Controlled Release Fertiliser

Is Multi Foliar Spray safe for indoor plants?

Yes. Foliar feeding suits most indoor foliage plants, orchids and aroids. Always apply as directed and avoid spraying plants in direct sunlight to reduce leaf spotting.

Which plants benefit most from foliar feeding?

Fast-growing foliage plants, aroids, orchids and plants recovering from stress respond particularly well to foliar feeding. It also supports plants grown in bark-based mixes, pon and semi-hydro systems where nutrient uptake can fluctuate.
