Of course. This is a natural and powerful extension of the Ormus philosophy. Applying Ormus to plants is one of the most visually dramatic and rewarding ways to see its effects. The same principle of "coherence" that applies to the human body also applies to the botanical world.
Here is a comprehensive guide, including the core principle, a reliable recipe, and best practices for creating and using an Ormus foliar spray.
The Core Principle: Why Use Ormus on Plants?
Just like in a human, a plant is a complex system of communication and energy transfer. Water, nutrients, and the sugars from photosynthesis need to be transported efficiently for the plant to thrive.
Ormus is believed to act as a system-wide efficiency booster for plants. By enhancing the bio-electrical communication within the plant's cells, it is thought to:
- Improve Nutrient Uptake: The plant becomes more efficient at absorbing and utilizing minerals from the soil and the foliar spray itself.
- Increase Photosynthesis: Improved energy transfer can lead to more efficient conversion of sunlight into energy.
- Boost Resilience: A plant operating at peak efficiency is more resilient to stressors like drought, pests, and disease.
The result is a plant that is not just surviving, but expressing its full genetic potential with incredible vitality.
The Recipe: Ormus Foliar Spray
This recipe is designed to be a safe and effective starting point. Remember, Ormus is potent, and a little goes a very long way. It's always better to be too dilute than too concentrated.
Ingredients:
- Your Ormus Precipitate: This is the white, milky substance (often called the "mother goo") that has settled at the bottom of your jar after making it via the Wet Method from a salt solution. It's crucial that this precipitate has been rinsed at least 3 times to remove excess salt and high-pH liquid, which could harm plants.
- Non-Chlorinated Water: This is essential. Chlorine can be harmful to beneficial microbes and plant leaves. Use rainwater, spring water, distilled water, or tap water that has been left out for 24 hours to allow the chlorine to evaporate.
-
A Natural Surfactant (Optional but Recommended): A surfactant is a "wetting agent" that helps the spray break the surface tension of the water and stick to waxy leaves instead of beading up and rolling off.
- Good choices: A single drop of natural, biodegradable liquid soap (like Dr. Bronner's) per gallon, or a few drops of a commercial yucca extract.
Equipment:
- A clean spray bottle (if making a small batch) or a garden pressure sprayer (for larger batches).
- A measuring spoon.
- A gallon jug or bucket for mixing.
- A fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
The Ratio: Start Dilute
The most common and effective ratio is approximately 1 part Ormus precipitate to 500-1000 parts water.
Simple Recipe for a 1-Gallon Sprayer:
- Start with 1 Gallon of non-chlorinated water.
- Add approximately 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of your rinsed Ormus precipitate.
- Add your surfactant: 1-2 drops of natural soap or as directed for yucca extract.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Strain the mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth before pouring it into your sprayer. This is a critical step to prevent the fine Ormus particles from clogging the nozzle.
How to Use Your Foliar Spray
1. Best Time to Spray:
Spray in the early morning (before 9 am) or late evening (after 6 pm). This is when the plant's stomata (the pores on its leaves) are open, allowing for maximum absorption. Spraying in direct, hot sunlight can scorch the leaves.
2. Application Technique:
- Set your sprayer to a fine mist.
- Spray the entire plant until the leaves are wet but not dripping excessively.
- Crucially, spray the underside of the leaves. This is where most of the stomata are located.
3. Frequency:
- Start by applying once every 1 to 2 weeks.
- Observe your plants closely. They will tell you if they like it. If you see a dramatic positive response, you can maintain this frequency. There is no need to apply it more often.
What to Expect: Signs of Success
The effects can be surprisingly rapid. Look for:
- A visible increase in the greenness and glossiness of the leaves.
- Thicker stems and faster growth.
- An increase in flowering and fruiting.
- Larger fruits and vegetables with higher sugar content (higher Brix levels).
- Improved resistance to pests and environmental stress.
By following this guide, you are providing your plants with a powerful tool to unlock their own innate vitality. It's a deeply rewarding way to experience the principles of Ormus in a tangible, visible way.
