BAS Jay Plantspeaker's Quillaja Saponaria Extract Powder

This extract acts as a natural wetting agent. It reduces the surface tension of water, which helps your soil drench or foliar spray penetrate the soil more effectively and ensures nutrients are distributed evenly across the root zone or leaf surface.

Saponins are the active compounds responsible for the foaming action and wetting properties. With a minimum of 20% saponin content—often testing as high as 40%—this extract is highly concentrated, meaning you get a potent, effective additive that requires very little product to achieve results.

Yes, it is designed for both applications. When used as a foliar spray, it helps the liquid coat the leaves more uniformly, and when used as a soil drench, it helps water move through hydrophobic or dry soil pockets.

Yes, it is a natural, plant-derived extract sourced from organic Quillaja Saponaria tree bark. It is minimally processed and made from food-grade materials, making it a clean choice for organic growing.

Because it is a highly water-soluble, natural extract, it is designed to dissolve completely and integrate into your watering solution. When used at the recommended rates, it should not leave a harmful or unsightly residue on your plants.

While it is primarily categorized as a wetting agent rather than a primary fertilizer, it supports plant health by ensuring that the nutrients you are already providing are delivered more efficiently to the plant's root system or foliage.
