FAQ's

  • What is Ecothrive Charge and how does it benefit my plants?

    Ecothrive Charge is a highly popular organic soil and coco amendment made from mealworm frass (insect droppings). It provides a source of slow-release nutrition, boosts beneficial microbial activity in the root zone, and contains chitin, which can stimulate a plant's natural defence systems. Charge enhances overall plant vigour, improves nutrient cycling, and leads to stronger, healthier root development.

  • What is Ecothrive Biosys and why is it considered an "instant microbe tea"?

    Ecothrive Biosys is an instant microbial tea, a concentrated powder that, when mixed with water, quickly activates a diverse blend of beneficial bacteria, fungi, enzymes, and natural growth stimulants. Unlike traditional compost teas that require brewing, Biosys is ready in minutes. It enriches the root zone, improves nutrient and water uptake, helps with disease prevention, and supports overall plant health and resilience, especially during propagation or stress recovery.

  • Can Ecothrive products be used in hydroponic systems, or are they only for soil/coco?

    Ecothrive's primary focus is on organic growing in soil and coco coir, where their products (especially living soil and amendments) work synergistically with the substrate's microbial life. Products like Ecothrive Living Soil are specifically designed for soil-based cultivation. However, some of their individual microbial products, like Biosys, can be used effectively in hydroponic systems with active aeration to introduce beneficial biology into the nutrient solution.
