Treat Nature With Nature: Plantonic, a 4-in-1 Organic Fertilizer

 "Lockdown again, so what are you doing at home?" a friend asked me. "Cooking, gardening and sleeping lah." I said. Malaysians are in  Movement control order 3 (MCO3) as the Covid numbers are rising. We can't travel out of district in the same state and of course cannot cross to another state also! So, we have to make our own activities at home. Thus I have taken up gardening more seriously recently, cultivating more colorful potted plants in a corner of my porch. 

My Garden 

Plants need to be nurtured with constant care such as watering them every day and feeding them with fertilizers. For fertilizers I prefer organic and non-toxic ones as I have an inquisitive pet cat at home. Therefore, I am very happy when told that there is this plant based product, Plantonic, the world's first 4-in-1organic fertilizer which is all-natural and non-toxic. Plantonic is not only a fertiliser and soil revitalizer, but also serves as a natural pest repellent, boosts plant immunity, and prevents fungal infections. Nice! My plants will boom and become healthier, yeah!

Plantonic 500ml spray bottle

In line with its slogan: “Treat Nature With Nature”, Plantonic uses only plant-based ingredients which aid plant nourishment, avoiding the use of toxic chemicals found in standard fertilizer products. This makes it safe for edible greens, as well as indoor use around children and pets.

Plantonic’s CEO and founder, Eric Tan said he was inspired to create the product after speaking to farmers in from countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, China, and Romania. Through his observations and discussions with these farmers, he learned that many of them had their own secret formulas for keeping crops healthy, passed down from generation to generation. He decided to develop Plantonic from this knowledge with Ayurvedic principles, without harmful chemicals because he believes in treating plants and greens by the healing force of nature, as in the slogan "Treat Nature with Nature".

Key ingredients in Plantonic includes: 

*    Shilajit: A substance formed from the decomposition of plants that are commonly found in the Himalayan mountains, shilajit is often used in Ayurvedic medicine and contains natural antibacterial properties 

* Seaweed: Rich in nutrients such as magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, and nitrogen, seaweed has been 

shown to stimulate plant growth

*  Ginseng Root: A common feature in traditional medicine, ginseng root also helps to boost plants’ 

immune systems

* Fruit peel: Consisting of vital soil-revitalizing nutrients such as potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and

 sodium, fruit peels act as an effective natural fertilizer 

* Seed extract: With its antimicrobial compounds, this extract helps plants fend off infections

Tea leaves: The tannic acid found in tea leaves helps to improve soil quality

Plantonic 500ml spray bottle

Plantonic is very convenient to use as the packaging comes in a handy spray bottle of 500ml. Just spritz once a week for smaller house plants and twice a week for bigger plants.

To mark its arrival in Malaysia, Plantonic contributed Plantonic bottles to Tropical Spice Garden (TSG) which is located in Teluk Bahang, Penang. TSG is a lush eight-acre secondary jungle housing over 500 varieties of flora and fauna and one of Penang's first eco-tourism spots, similar to a living museum of biodiversity for local and international visitors.

Plantonic plans to expand its presence to Europe, Thailand, Indonesia, China and USA in two years time. Plantonic 4-in-1 organic fertiliser will be available in Hong Kong later in September 2021. 

Plantonic can be bought online Shopee (www.shopee.com.my/plantonic.os) and Lazada (www.lazada.com.my/shop/plantonic). Attention to home gardening enthusiasts,  you should be on a lookout for the brand’s upcoming 9.9.
