Plagron Alga Grow 500 ml – organic algae fertilizer for the growth phase
Alga Grow by Plagron is a highly concentrated liquid base fertilizer made from algae, intended for use during the growth phase. It belongs to the 100% NATURAL range, is suitable for all soil mixes and, according to the manufacturer, can be used in organic farming.
Algae support healthy growth and the development of a strong root system, preparing plants for a smooth transition to the flowering phase. The fertilizer supplies organic nitrogen, which is responsible for cell division and elongation, as well as the formation of chlorophyll, proteins and enzymes.
The 500 ml bottle allows you to prepare up to 125 litres of solution at the maximum dosage of 4 ml per litre of water.

Alga Grow is used to fertilize potted, garden and greenhouse plants grown in soil during the growth period – from green houseplants and tropical plants to vegetables and herbs. It is not intended for hydroponics. It is recommended to combine it with the other products in the 100% NATURAL range, including Plagron Allmix, Batmix, Royalmix and Promix substrates, as well as UNIVERSAL additives such as Power Roots and Pure Zym. During the flowering phase, it is replaced by Alga Bloom.
Directions for use
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Add a maximum of 4 ml of fertilizer per 1 litre of water (1:250).
- Apply the solution with every watering during the growth phase.
- Use the diluted fertilizer within 24 hours.
The 100% NATURAL fertilization schedule calls for 20 ml per 10 litres of water in the first week and 40 ml in the second; if the growth phase is longer, repeat the dose from the second week. When using Lightmix, start fertilizing immediately, and when using Growmix, start from the second week. After use in an irrigation system, flush the lines. Cloudiness or an odor in the solution results from natural bacterial processes and does not harm plants.
