I didn’t choose the plant mom life, but I’m glad it chose me. Becoming a mother during the pandemic, six years later I am the proud caretaker of 22 green children. I didn’t know that purchasing a single plant in 2020 would awaken my green thumb, but over the years I’ve maintained 20 to 50 plants. Some thrived, while others went to the greenhouse in the sky.
Learning from Mistakes
After unintentionally killing my peace lily, I realized I had much to learn. Not all plants are equal—some need more sunlight, others prefer a moody, dark corner. Some like water every seven days, others can last two weeks without a drink. But the biggest lesson was that the right fertilizer can turn a droopy, brown plant in the ICU into the shining star of your windowsill lineup. I’m pleased to report I’ve found it in Purived houseplant food.
Discovering Purived
I came across Purived’s fertilizer while scrolling on TikTok. Users raved about how the all-purpose fertilizer rejuvenated their plants in as little as two weeks. Intrigued, I headed to Amazon and purchased a bottle of what the brand calls “liquid love” for houseplants. Purived houseplant food contains three essential nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen helps plants produce chlorophyll and grow lush leaves. Phosphorus supports strong root development, and potassium helps plants stay healthy and resilient. Together, these nutrients feed the soil and help houseplants grow stronger from the roots up.
Testing the Fertilizer
When I noticed the leaves on my monstera turning brown, I decided to test its endurance with a little liquid love. Purived fertilizer has a 4.7 out of 5-star rating, so I expected tangible results. For four weeks, I added a capful of the 20-ounce fertilizer to my 2-liter watering can and watered my plants. By the second week, I noticed new sprouts popping up, and by week four, they began to unfurl. From small buds to sprawling, heart-shaped leaves, Purived brought my plants back to life. I saw 10 new leaves sprout after four weeks of using the fertilizer.
Another shopper also experienced rapid growth with their pothos and monstera. “Since I started using Purived, I’ve noticed my plants look more vibrant. Their leaves are greener, and the flowering ones have more blooms. The growth has been noticeable, especially in my pothos and monstera, which have sprouted new leaves at a rate I haven’t seen before. It’s a relief to find a product that feeds instantly and provides such visible benefits,” Dan wrote.
Cautions and Recommendations
It did have a negative impact on my schlumbergera (Christmas cactus). I may have contributed to my succulent’s death by over-watering, or the fertilizer might have been a factor, but I noticed its decline after one week. This might be unique to me, as one Amazon reviewer confirmed it “works for my tropicals, succulents, and cacti.”
The spring season is the preferred time to repot plants and integrate fertilizer into your weekly routine. Plants welcome fresh soil after months of frigid temperatures, and the longer days and summer sun provide ample growth opportunities.
This fertilizer has been a game-changer in my home. Between positioning, lighting, daily concerts, and good vibes, I’d like to think I’m a great plant parent. But Purived provides nutrients beyond what my care alone can offer. Now, my green children are thriving thanks to a collective effort.
