What Happens If I Overspray My Indoor Plants?
Dr. Marco’s Formula will not pose any problems if it is used a little more than recommended however excessive usage may result in undesired levels of nutrients in the soil. However plants like to tell us when something is wrong and will display early signs that they are getting too much or too little of what they need. Excessive build up of nutrients will likely result in foliage turning yellow. To correct this simply fertilise your plant less and continue to water it as recommended until the plant health improves.

Will My Pets and Children Be Safe If Exposed To Dr. Marco's Formula?
Dr Marcos Formula is non-toxic and completely safe to use around pets and children. That being said we do not recommend you leave your product in reach of pets or children.
When Is The Best Time To Fertilise My Plants?
Generally plants should be fertilised more during the growing seasons when the weather is warmer. Dr. Marco’s Formula is sprayed directly onto the leaves of your plants. This method offers many benefits to regular root feeding however it is best to do this early morning or late afternoon. This is because leaves may be at risk if they are wet whilst in very hot and direct sunlight (depending where they are kept). Additionally some plants’ stomata/pores will close at night and will not be as efficient at absorbing the nutrients.
You should look up the best times and frequencies to fertilise each of your plants respectively based on their own individual needs.
Is Dr. Marco's Formula Toxic If Exposed To Skin or Ingested?
The Dr. Marco’s Formula is completely non-toxic and will not cause any harm if you come into direct contact with it.

Will The Product Stain My Walls?
No, we have tested the product on a white painted wall with repeated spraying and not stains remain. At most a few dark specs remain however this can easily be wiped off. However as with any liquids on walls damp may occur or wallpaper may be damaged from excessive spraying so we suggest you do your best to avoid hitting the walls where possible.
