For Plants

Frond

Feed the leaves direct — a fine mineral mist that fills the canopy with vivid, well-nourished growth.

Frond feeds your plants where they are most alive: the leaf itself. The canopy is not just where a plant catches light — it is the surface through which it drinks. Misted onto the foliage as a fine spray, Frond delivers a complete, all-botanical meal of ocean minerals and green plant nutrients straight into the tissue, so the leaves green up, broaden, and carry the whole plant forward.

This is a foliar feed, built for the moments a plant is asking for more — a flush of new growth, a pale or tired canopy, a stretch of heavy demand when the roots alone cannot keep pace. Two seaweeds, two green leaf concentrates, and a balancing botanical work together to top up what soil feeding can be slow to reach. The result is a fuller, more deeply colored canopy and steadier momentum through the growing season.

Frond is deliberately gentle and dilute. A foliar feed is a supplement to a plant's diet, not a forced push — it nourishes the leaf surface and the metabolism behind it, then lets the plant do what plants know how to do. Use it as a light leaf mist or, at the fuller rate, as a soil drench, and let it round out the rest of your feeding program.

It belongs to the GGG Plants line as the canopy feeder: where Temper builds standing strength and Aegis keeps the surface clean and resilient, Frond is the one you reach for to fill out the leaves and keep growth vivid and well-fed.

What you get

What this formula gives you

A fuller, more deeply colored canopy — leaves that green up and broaden rather than thin out

Direct leaf-level feeding that reaches the plant faster than soil feeding alone, useful when growth is demanding

A complete spread of ocean minerals and trace elements in forms the leaf can take up

Chlorophyll-active greens that support steady photosynthesis and vivid pigment

Natural seaweed and saponin chemistry that helps the spray wet, spread, and cling to waxy foliage

A gentle, dilute, all-botanical feed that rounds out an existing program without forcing growth

How it works

The science of Frond

Not buzzwords — the actual biology of the plants in this formula: their compounds, the targets those compounds are measured to engage, and the systems they nourish.

The two seaweeds — bladderwrack and Jamaican purple sea moss — are the mineral backbone. Marine algae concentrate the dissolved mineral wealth of the ocean: potassium, magnesium, iron, and a wide spread of trace elements, held in forms a leaf can take up directly. Bladderwrack carries the brown-algae pigment fucoxanthin and the seaweed compound phloroglucinol, while the red sea moss contributes floridoside and taurine alongside its long-chain sulfated-galactan sugars. Those seaweed sugars are what let a foliar spray wet and cling to a waxy leaf instead of beading off — so the minerals stay in contact long enough to be absorbed.

The two green concentrates — moringa and wheat grass — bring the chlorophyll-active side of the feed. Both are dense in the building blocks of green tissue, and both carry well-characterized leaf flavonoids: quercetin and kaempferol in moringa, apigenin and luteolin in wheat grass. Chlorophyll-rich greens supply the magnesium- and nitrogen-bearing material that a plant uses to build new pigment and run photosynthesis, which is why a canopy fed this way deepens in color rather than simply growing larger. Moringa in particular is unusually complete, carrying a broad spread of minerals and amino acids in one leaf.

Gynostemma rounds the formula. It carries gypenoside and ginsenoside-type saponins which act as natural surfactants, helping the spray spread evenly across the leaf and improving how well the rest of the feed is wetted in and taken up. Together the five give Frond what a foliar feed needs: minerals in available form, green building blocks, and the surface chemistry to actually get them into the leaf. Every compound named here is measured and sourced to public chemical databases — nothing is inferred.

In practice

Who it’s for, and how to use it

Who it’s for

For growers who want to feed the canopy directly — houseplants, vegetables, herbs, fruiting plants, and ornamentals that would benefit from a richer, greener leaf and a faster nutrient pickup than soil feeding alone provides. Especially suited to plants pushing new growth, looking pale or tired, or working through a season of heavy demand.

How to use it

Dilute 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water. For a foliar feed, mix at the lighter rate and mist evenly over the tops and undersides of the leaves until just wet, ideally in the cooler hours of morning or evening rather than under hot midday sun. For a soil drench, use the fuller rate and water in at the base. Apply about once a month, or every other feeding. Shake or stir well, as the mineral and green solids will settle. Start light on anything new and give the plant a few days to respond before increasing.

Measure · Dilute 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water. Foliar feed at the lighter rate, or soil drench at the fuller rate, about once a month or every other feeding.

What’s inside

Frond came together from the same instinct that runs through everything we grow: feed the living surface and the plant takes it from there. Two seaweeds for the minerals, two greens for the chlorophyll, and gynostemma to carry it across the leaf — a small, honest blend meant to round out your feeding, not replace your care. Mist it on a quiet morning and watch the canopy answer. Thank you for tending your plants this way.
