Hydrogen Peroxide 3% 500ml

Hydrogen Peroxide 3% — 500 mL

Multi-purpose plant care solution that supports healthy growth, strengthens roots, and freshens soil. When diluted, hydrogen peroxide breaks down into water and oxygen, helping to oxygenate roots, sanitize pots, and keep soil life balanced.

How it works

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) naturally decomposes into water and oxygen on contact with organic matter. This gentle oxidation helps clean root zones, disrupt insect membranes, and improve oxygen levels — supporting healthy roots and beneficial microbes.

Uses & Rates

• Leaves & roots: 60 mL per 1 L water (≈ 0.18%)
  Use as a gentle soil drench or foliar spray to boost oxygen around roots, prevent root rot, and promote stronger plant growth.
• Pest control spray: 125 mL per 1 L water (≈ 0.38%)
  Helps control fungus gnats, aphids, and soft-bodied insects by disrupting their outer membranes without leaving harmful residues.
• Sanitizing pots: 1 : 1 ratio (≈ 1.5%)
  Ideal for disinfecting used pots, trays, and tools before replanting to reduce fungal spores and bacterial contamination.

Always test on a small area first.

Frequency of Application

For general root and soil health, apply the diluted mix every 2 – 3 weeks or as needed. For pest or fungal issues, use once a week until the problem subsides, then reduce to maintenance frequency. Avoid over-use to protect beneficial soil microbes.

Compatibility

Not compatible with products containing beneficial microbes as it will kill them, compost teas, or mycorrhizal fungi. Avoid mixing with acids, vinegar, or concentrated fertilizers. Do not combine with other chemicals or household cleaners. Breaks down in sunlight.
