Assists plants to cope with heat, drought, frost, pests and diseases. Boosts soil health, improves soil moisture and nutrient retention. Increases worm and microbial activity. Safe on roses and all flowering plants.
Liquid Seaweed when applied as a foliar spray to roses does wonders. I've used it for years and always with great results. The foliage turns a darker green, the colors on the blooms becomes more intense and the canes seem hardier. And overall the plants seem happier.
FOR ESTABLISHED ROSES:
Use a high-nitrogen fertilizer or top dress with alfalfa meal (5-1-2) for the first application to jump-start leaf development, along with epsom salts to encourage new cane development and lusher growth. Add a slow-release fertilizer when shoots are 4 to 5 inches long.
Seasol for Lush Green Lawns and Seasol for Buffalo Lawns are all liquids, which are readily absorbed into the lawn and the soil. Therefore, you do not need to water them in. While liquid seaweed products can be beneficial for your lawn's health, they should not replace fertiliser in your normal lawn care routine.
You can't overdose on Seasol. It's not a Fertiliser. But it does have amazing healing qualities. One capful in a 10 litre watering can will treat around 4m2.
Do not apply Seasol and PowerFeed during the heat of the day. As PowerFeed is a fertiliser it may burn the foliage of the plant or lawn. If fungal problems are an issue, it is best to apply Seasol and PowerFeed in the morning to avoid moisture residue on the foliage overnight.
Seasol and PowerFeed are liquids, they are readily absorbed into the soil and the plant foliage. Therefore you do not need to water them in.
What type of plants will benefit from Seasol? Seasol is great for all plants, including lawns, fruit trees and vegetables. In fact, it can also be used on any shrubs, flowers or ornamentals in your garden.
One of the best and most popular is Seasol which needs to be diluted with water (1 teaspoon to 1 litre of water) and poured over your plants on watering day about once a month in the warmer months.
For optimum results it should be applied to the garden every 2 weeks, more frequently (every week) if plants are under stress. Unlike fertilizers, Seasol can be applied all year round, even in winter and at the height of summer.
Fertilize the perennial regularly throughout its growing season (about every two to four weeks depending on the type of fertilizer used). Stop feeding your roses in late summer when they begin preparing for winter dormancy.
A high-quality organic fish fertiliser (such as Charlie Carp) in either a liquid or pellet form is perfect to provide these nutrients to the plant. Charlie Carp is a perfect fit for roses as it can also be mixed with other green products such as Eco-Oil and Eco-Fungicide, providing defence against pests and diseases.
A regular, generous application of well rotted animal manure or compost and blood and bone are perfect for roses. Avoid manure from animals that eat meat and use chicken manure sparingly - as these are too acidic for roses.

All types of plants can benefit from seaweed fertilisers. Containing complex carbs and vital minerals, seaweed extract delivers every plant with the valuable nutrients needed to grow and thrive. In fact, seaweed fertilisers have the broadest range of benefits to plants beyond plant nutrition.
Seaweed also comes in a liquid form, so spray it on plants and they take in the food directly through leaves. Just ensure it's diluted as recommended, because it's really strong stuff and can burn seedlings and roots.
Do not apply when rain is expected as it will just get washed away. Spray should not come into contact with foliage/roots of plants that you do not want to kill. Seasol Another brilliant product!
They work within the soil and lawn for up to 12 weeks. A liquid form is usually applied after the turf has been laid or the seed sown and are applied every week for the first six weeks. Seasol Lawn & Turf Starter is an excellent example of a lawn starter to get your lawn off to a great start.
Seasol Advanced provides a dynamic combination of benefits to every plant in the garden including natives. It has the plant tonic effects of Seasol to stimulate root growth, enhance flowering and fruiting and increases tolerance to drought, frost, heat, pests and disease.
Hydrangeas will also benefit from a granular feed over summer with Seasol plus Nutrients Roses & Flowers, to keep them blooming throughout the season.
Soil Azaleas grow best in a slightly acid soil pH (around 5.5-6) that is ideally deep and moisture retentive. To improve the soil before planting add home-made compost and organic matter and/or Seasol Super Compost.
After mowing apply Seasol hose-on to strengthen leaf blades to reduce stress from heat and drought. Apply it early morning so the grass has time to dry before the onset of a cool night. For more details check out our video “How to Care for Lawns – Mowing & maintenance”.
Seasol has almost no NPK
The role a fertilizer truly plays is to supplement the plant with the nutrients – mainly NPK – that it is not getting from the soil. Seasol has only tiny, almost unnoticeable amounts of the most important nutrients your lawns and plants need to thrive.
While Seasol contains a mixture of brown kelps such as King Island Bull Kelp (Durvillaea potatorum), Chile Bull Kelp (Durvilleae Antarctica), and Knotted Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum), Eco Seaweed only contains 100% Knotted Kelp. This is harvested from the North Atlantic Ocean.
Are Seasol and PowerFeed safe on acid lovers such as Camellias and Rhododendrons? Yes, Seasol will not significantly affect soil pH, so it is safe to apply to acid loving plants.
