A watering can is the only plant care tool that most enthusiasts own.
Plants, like all living organisms, require some basic needs and cannot thrive on water alone.
Just like humans require a balanced diet, plants require nutrients as well; and in this case, soil is the answer.
This is where khaad or organic fertilizer plays its vital part.
The case is the same for houseplants or garden plants.
At Podhghar, caring revolves around watering because of our premium khaad products.
With such wide varieties of fuels for indoor and outdoor green plants, as well as small potted plants in apartments, ensures proper care.
In this blog we uncover the water deficiency in detail along with khaad; what it is, its benefits, and the best collection out there to guarantee happy and healthy plants from Podhghar.

Absorption of khaad or fertilizer is done quite fast and effortlessly as compared to professional fertilizers.
For optimum growth and reproduction of every plant, nutrients in the soil are a basic prerequisite, also known as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Lack of these nutrients results in weak, poor flowering, and overall unhealthiness in plants.
This illustrates how relying solely on water stunts a plant’s growth and reduces its vitality.
Soil Nutrient Depletion
Plants that are grown in the same location for a prolonged period tend to deplete the available nutrients in the soil.
In turn, the soil becomes barren.
If these nutrients are not added, the water provided results in poor plant growth and makes these plants vulnerable to many pests and diseases.
Applying khaad helps in replenishing the nutrients, ensuring that the plants get what they need in order to thrive.

Khaad Overview
Khaad is a term used in several parts of India to refer to organic fertilizers or composts.
It is produced using organic debris such as decayed plant matter, bones, and animal excreta.
Unlike a chemical fertilizer, khaad fosters soil health and structure, enriching it with additives such as organic matter, beneficial microbes, and slow release nutrients.
Different Types of Khaads
- Compost Khaad: This kind is produced from the decomposition of leaves and kitchen wastes.
- Vermicompost: This is produced from the activity of earthworms which breakdown organic matter.
- Cow Dung Khaad: This is traditional organic manure produced from cow dung which is nutrient dense.
- Bone Meal and Plant-Based Khaad: They are rich in phosphorus and other vital minerals for flowers and root growth.
At Podhghar, we emphasize sustainable organic complete khaad alternatives which build plant wellness without harming nature.

Khaad enhances the soil with crucial nutrients needed by plants.

The organic matter contained in khaad enhances the aeration of soil, hydroxyl (water) retention and drainage.
This helps provide favorable conditions for roots to develop maximally and utilize nutrients efficiently.

3.3 Improves Microbial Activities

Microorganisms in khaad improve soil health as they help fight organic matter to healthy soil microbiomes.
They prevent plants from soil-borne diseases, and in return, healthy soil microbiomes help.
