Application instructions for houseplants

Learn how to use nematodes to keep your houseplants healthy and pest-free

Step 1

Preparation

Good preparation is essential for the best results.

  • Lightly moisten the potting soil before you begin
  • Use lukewarm water (not hot)
  • Do not use chemical pesticides before, during, or after the treatment
  • Make sure the soil is moist, but not soaking wet. Nematodes move actively through moist soil.

Step 2

Prepare the base solution

Dissolve the entire package of nematodes in 1 liter of water.

  • Stir the mixture gently but thoroughly
  • Ensure the nematodes are evenly distributed
  • Let the solution sit for a few minutes

Always use the full package per treatment. Storing partial packages is not recommended, as nematodes are living organisms.

Step 3

Dilution and Application

Mix the base solution with the amount of water you normally use to water your plants.

Guideline per plant:

  • Small houseplant: ± 200 ml
  • Medium houseplant: ± 300 ml
  • Large houseplant: ± 400 ml

Distribute the solution evenly over the potting soil so the entire root zone is reached.

Step 4

Aftercare and Reapplication

After application, it is important that the nematodes remain active.

  • Keep the potting soil lightly moist for at least two weeks
  • Avoid direct sunlight on the soil
  • Do not use chemical treatments
  • The first results are often visible within 1 to 2 weeks

    In case of a persistent infestation, the treatment can be repeated after a few weeks
