Strangely I name all my plants just in general :) and no I am not a loner! I do enjoy my own company, the reason behind me naming my plants maybe I would like to treat them as individuals, surely there are many more out there like I 😆 let's get back to Ibeji and Ibeyi, it is the name of an Orisha representing a pair of twins in the Yoruba religion of the Yoruba people (originating from Yorubaland, an area in and around present-day Nigeria) when I first saw them in Bunnings Willoughby I fell in love straight away, as the two of them were sitting right next to one another, I do take a very long time choosing my plants as normally I would stand there for quite a while until I can build a connection with a plant before picking one up ☺️
On April 12 2020 Ibeji & Ibeyi joined the fam👍🏼 before I potted them I notice Ibeji was slightly shorter/pale just weaker in general, (as seen in the picture above) hence shilajit is not just for humans it can be used for plants and animals too, so the plan is to see what happens in the next few months, as I will be watering them the same amount but just one brother would have Rocky Shilajit mixed in the soil.
This picture was taken on the 12 June 2020 after 2 months,
The process was very slow but rapid when the plants absorbed the shilajit, for more than 4-5 weeks there was no change in the plant's height or colour but after the 5th week the first leaf started growing and I was surprised by how fast the leaf reached its full growth and shortly after another leaf popped out and than another, in a matter of 3 weeks, the plant with shilajit had 3 leaves while the non-shilajit plant has 1 leaf and is growing in a normal speed.
the color of the Ibeji is very bright green compare to Ibeyi which is darker green leaves, besides that the new leaves of Ibeji are slightly bigger than the original leaves it had.
while watering the plants on a once a week basis there was a pesticide spray used as well on the plants, the same spray was used on both plants but still, there was a small amount of existence of pesticides in Ibeyi but the soil of Ibeji appeared pesticide-free.
shilajit does have Fulvic Acid which is essential for plants to enhances cell division and elongation, Root growth is magnified with obvious benefits. fulvic acid will increase the plant's oxygen uptake capacity with the associated increase in chlorophyll production and an increase in the permeability of plants membranes which will help in the improvement of uptake of nutrients.
you can use shilajit on indoor or outdoor plants, flowering plants or fruit plants, just make sure you do not exceed the recommended dose (refer to the label) if you want to use it for fruit trees or bigger plants please contact us for information.
