A little bit of History
Homeopathy for plants was first used by a great homeopathic stalwart Dr. Von Boenninghausen. He noted that the excess or leftover remedies he threw into his plant pots were having an effect on the plants.
It was Vaikunthanath Das Kaviraj, an experienced homeopath, who later popularised the use of homeopathy in gardens. He stumbled by accident upon the homeopathic treatment of plants when he was asked to treat a rust problem in apple trees. After thorough understanding of the disease, he prescribed Belladonna and to his surprise the plant healed and produced better. For Kaviraj, this was a turning point, and he worked a lot in this field until he published a pioneering book on homeopathy for plant diseases.
Real Life Case
My cat smashed a container of our monstera plant back in 2016 when I was away from home. When I got home after two days, I saw that the plant was withering and badly damaged. Since it had been with me for six years, I was devastated. Unwilling to lose up, I moved it to a larger container and sprayed the soil and leaves with the homoeopathic medicine Aconitum napellus 12C. To my amazement, the plant was doing well the next day. I began utilising homoeopathy in my garden on a daily basis after that day, and I was always in awe at the outcomes.
