More Information

Benefits:
No need for complex fertilization plans
Prevents over- or under-fertilization
Reduces water use while maintaining optimal plant nutrition

This sustainable soil activator provides plants with all necessary nutrients and trace elements throughout their vegetative, flowering, and fruiting stages. It promotes optimal growth and enhances the development of active compounds. You only need to manage watering. The rich soil life of microorganisms, fungi, and microfauna supports naturally stronger, pest- and disease-resistant plants. Thanks to its buffering capacity, it balances cultivation errors and ensures stable, high-quality yields.

No fertilization needed, no pH measuring! (Rainwater or settled tap water is recommended.)

Recommended use: Mix 1.5 to 2 liters of Sana Preta thoroughly with 10 liters of substrate. Substrate should not be pre-fertilized. After mixing, lightly moisten and store in a closed bag or container in a cool, dark place for 7–10 days to allow microbial colonization.

Content: 5 liters

Ingredients: Organic compost, worm humus, wood fiber, biochar, quartz sand, brick grit, sulfur, horn shavings, algae, volcanic rock dust, bat guano, kelp, alfalfa, wine yeast, alperujo, shrimp meal, Epsom salt, karanja cake, endo/ectomycorrhizae, EM, Trichoderma, and other beneficial microorganisms.

Approved for organic farming under EU Regulation No. 834/2007 & 889/2008.

Watering: Always use chlorine-free water. Let tap water sit for 24 hours or aerate it with an air stone for 2–4 hours to remove chlorine. No need to adjust pH. Sana Preta increases water retention, so you’ll water less frequently. Avoid waterlogging and keep the substrate consistently moist, which is essential for microbial life.

Fertilizing: No additional fertilization is required. Compost teas can be used to boost biodiversity and soil processes. Never use mineral fertilizers!

Perfect complement: Our Organic Little Helper Seeds, also known as “Cover Crops” or companion plants. Sown on the soil surface, they work in synergy with your main plant and the living soil to form a Soil Food Web, from which your plant greatly benefits. These include nitrogen-fixing clovers, pest-repelling species, mold inhibitors, and plants providing natural growth hormones.

After harvest, remove coarse root residues, mix the soil with worm humus or compost, and let it rest for a few days before replanting.

Sana Preta was also developed with patients in mind who need a pure, natural product without heavy metals or chemical residues.

Certified for organic cultivation under EU Regulation No. 834/2007 & 889/2008 Organic is the future!

Note: As a natural product, it may lose moisture and weight over time without affecting its quality.
