Matching concentrate amount
10 ml
Measure concentrate using a suitable aid and dilute fully with water.
Enter a water amount from 0.1 to 1,000 litres.
Water needs depend on pot size, compost moisture, roots and conditions. The calculator determines dilution from your water volume.
How the guide is calculated
Concentrate amount = water volume × product dilution. The calculator does not measure water demand.
Prepare a clean container
Use a clean watering can or sprayer; preferably low-lime water or rainwater at 15–25 °C.
Calculate the amount
Enter the water volume and read the calculated concentrate amount.
Add some water first
Start by filling the container with part of the chosen water volume.
Shake & measure
Shake well. Measure the calculated amount using a suitable measuring aid.
Add the concentrate
Add the calculated amount of concentrate to the water.
Top up & mix well
Top up to the chosen water volume and mix well. Watering or spraying: see below.
When to feed? 10 ml per 2.5 l of water. Every 2–3 weeks according to the label. During the growing season.
Watering · through the roots
Moisten the root ball first, then distribute the mixture across the root zone. Let excess water drain through the pot; do not leave nutrient solution standing in a cachepot.
Spraying · onto the leaves
Wet the foliage lightly in the morning, evening or under overcast conditions, avoiding open inflorescences. Root and foliar feeding belong to one programme, not two parallel routines.

GREEN24 · Plant knowledge
Culinary Herbs through the year
Herbs are not one uniform plant group: basil grows differently from thyme, parsley from rosemary. Match position, watering and feeding frequency to the species. Harvesting does not automatically call for another feed.
A herb corner for everyday life
Several individual pots make an inviting display while allowing different care. Basil can stay evenly moist while Mediterranean herbs dry more between waterings. The right rhythm starts with the plant.
A closer look at fine roots
Fine branching roots explore the growing medium. Remove only loose compost and avoid unnecessary washing or tearing.
Planting depth and watering space
Keep the root ball at its former level. A small gap below the rim makes watering easier; do not bury stem bases or sensitive crowns.

Growth & nutrient uptake
Leaves use light; roots take up water and mineral nutrients. The diagrams show how plant organs work together and how nutrients are absorbed.
What does a plant do with nutrients?
Roots · absorb & anchorExplore the limited root space inside the pot.
Fine roots need contact with moist compost as well as oxygen. An open structure and drainage help provide both. Feed the pre-moistened root ball with diluted solution, never with concentrate applied directly to roots.
Leaves · capture energyGreen leaf tissue makes sugars for the whole plant.
Green leaves use light for photosynthesis. Herbs differ in leaf structure, growth and nutrient demand; basil is an example.
Shoots · support and transportCarry leaves and connect roots with growth.
Vascular tissues connect roots and above-ground parts. Xylem carries water and minerals; phloem carries substances including sugars.
New leaf · unfurl & matureInitially receives support from established leaves.
A new leaf unfurls and matures. Do not force it open. Development and leaf size also depend on species, light and growing conditions.
How nutrients enter kitchen herbs
Select a point in the picture or choose a stage.
Stage 01 / 04
Water carries nutrients to the roots
The mixture reaches the compost around the fine roots. Dissolved nutrients are available at the interface between roots and growing media.
Good to knowAlways dilute the concentrate and keep to the stated dosage.
A closer look
Watering carries dissolved nutrients into the growing medium around the roots. Contact with the absorbing root surfaces is the first step.
Stage 02 / 04
Roots take up dissolved nutrients
Fine root hairs increase contact with the growing medium. Tiny transport proteins in the membranes surrounding root cells help dissolved nutrients enter the cells.
Good to knowRoots take up nutrients; they do not simply absorb all the fertiliser along with the water.
A closer look
Root hairs increase the contact area. Transport proteins in cell membranes enable mineral ions to enter; water movement and nutrient uptake are distinct processes.
Stage 03 / 04
An inner layer controls the route
On their way into the root, nutrients meet a special layer of cells. It prevents substances from simply flowing through the gaps between cells and helps the plant control uptake.
Good to knowMore fertiliser does not automatically mean better nutrition.
A closer look
Nutrients move through the root tissues. The endodermis acts as a control layer: its barrier interrupts unrestricted movement along the cell walls.
Stage 04 / 04
Transport channels carry water and nutrients
Inside the root are fine transport channels called xylem. Water and absorbed nutrients can travel through them towards shoots and leaves.
Good to knowHealthy roots and suitable growing conditions are important for nutrient supply.
A closer look
After entering the vascular tissue, nutrients can travel with the water stream in the xylem towards the shoot. Uptake and nutrient supply also depend on root health and growing conditions.
Stage 01 / 04
Diluted solution is applied to the leaf
The prepared solution wets the leaf surface. Avoid open flowers and always dilute correctly.
Good to knowThis product is labelled for foliar application. Always dilute correctly.
A closer look
Foliar feeding places diluted nutrient solution on the leaf surface. Wetting depends on factors including the leaf surface and the solution.
Stage 02 / 04
Nutrients must cross the protective surface
The leaf surface protects the plant. Dissolved nutrients can pass through this layer; tiny openings in the leaf may also play a part. Uptake varies with the type of leaf and the conditions.
Good to knowDifferent leaves do not absorb a nutrient solution equally well.
A closer look
Dissolved nutrients can pass through the protective cuticle; pathways involving stomata may also contribute. Their relative importance varies with plant species and conditions.
Stage 03 / 04
Cells inside the leaf take up nutrients
Behind the surface lies living leaf tissue. Its cells can take up nutrients that have crossed the surface and use them for their activities.
Good to knowA droplet on a leaf does not yet mean its nutrients have been absorbed.
A closer look
After crossing the surface, nutrients can be taken up by living leaf cells. The amount depends on factors including the nutrient, formulation and environmental conditions.
Stage 04 / 04
Nutrients are used in the leaf and may move onward
The plant can use absorbed nutrients within the leaf. Some can also reach other plant parts. This depends on the nutrient and the plant's condition.
Good to knowFoliar feeding does not mean every nutrient immediately reaches the whole plant.
A closer look
Absorbed nutrients can be used within the leaf. Whether and how far they move to other plant parts depends on the nutrient and the plant's condition.
Development influences requirements
Care that follows each flush of growth
Young plant & establishment
For young plants, consider root establishment, light and nutrients already in compost. Unrooted cuttings are not established pot plants.
New leaves & shoots
When leaves unfold and shoots develop, feeding can be part of the care routine. Keep the feeding interval separate from watering: not every necessary watering needs fertiliser.
Lower light · slower growth
As growth slows, check compost moisture and adjust care to demand. Do not try to force dormant plants into growth with extra fertiliser.
Actual development matters: species, location and season affect the pace. Plant size alone determines neither dose level nor watering volume.
Application & calculator →Growing conditions & care problems
Adapt care to the growing conditions and stage of growth. If you notice changes, check light, water and roots first — then take targeted action.
Caring for kitchen herbs
Choose the position for the species
Herbs are not one uniform plant group: basil grows differently from thyme, parsley from rosemary. Match position, watering and feeding frequency to the species. Harvesting does not automatically call for another feed.
Manage changes of position carefully
Several individual pots make an inviting display while allowing different care. Basil can stay evenly moist while Mediterranean herbs dry more between waterings. The right rhythm starts with the plant.
Pots & repotting · consider the roots
Repot when needed. Allow for existing nutrients in the medium and preserve healthy roots.
What is changing on your herbs?
Aphids on soft shoots
Inspect leaf undersides regularly and identify the cause.
Dense, damp growth
Allow air between plants; remove affected parts and avoid unnecessary overhead watering.
One watering regime for everything
Check each herb’s moisture needs. Wilting can result from dryness or damaged wet roots.
Understand care problems before treating
These details help distinguish growing conditions, root or nutrition problems and an infestation:
- Photos of the whole plant, both leaf surfaces, leaf stalks and affected stem nodes.
- Species or cultivar, pot size, compost and position near a window; root photos where relevant.
- When symptoms began and progressed, pot moisture, repotting date and previous fertiliser or plant protection applications.
Check the cause, crop and authorised growing location first. A product recommendation does not approve mixing.
