Type and Use
Aptus Nutrispray is a fertilizer that's recommended for foliar application. It's a plant-based product, with extract from the Horse Chestnut, enriched with micronutrients like Manganese, Sulfur, Zinc, and Iron.
It creates a nutrient layer on the leaves that lasts for 10 to 15 days. By that time, the plant has absorbed all the elements and the coating biodegrades naturally.
Benefits for the Plant
The application of Horse Chestnut extract noticeably aids in the acquisition of essential micronutrients for the plant. The protective layer creates a barrier to preserve these minerals within the leaves, at least for two weeks.
Furthermore, Aptus NutriSpray lightens the sap of the plants, allowing for a quicker and more efficient nutrient transport.
Instructions and Dose
Aptus NutriSpray can be used as a regular nutrient or to treat mineral deficiencies, even rectify nutrient blockages that might occur in the environment.
The correct dosage comes to 2ml per liter of water, which should be sprayed onto the plant, making sure to cover the entire surface area of the leaves.
Indoors: Spray during weeks 1, 3, 5, or the flowering phase for overall nutrition.
Outdoors: Spray a week after planting, afterwards, once a month until harvest.

La Huerta's Opinion
Aptus NutriSpray is particularly suitable for plants that have had issues since germination, providing a great supplement to strengthen their roots. It's also helpful when taking clones/cuttings, as the mother plant will yield much stronger cuttings, which can also benefit from the use of this fertilizer. Aptus recommends spraying during periods of darkness, to avoid potential burns on the leaf surface caused by the droplets.
