Expert opinion by Dr. Mang
Suitable for cleaning in the food industry (Chem. Lab Frankfurt, 2004).
Why leaves become sticky — and what attracts unwanted guests
Greasy, shiny, sticky leaves are almost always a sign of Honeydew — sugary secretions that settle on plant surfaces along with organic matter and deposits. This layer serves as a food source, adhesive surface, and protection for many unwanted guests. Chemical sprays expose plants, soil, water, and indoor air to potential pollutants. Wikipedia explains more about the concept of natural plant care in its article on... biological pest control.
Therefore, mechanical wiping alone is not enough: The coatings are located in leaf folds, stem bases, and tissue surfaces—areas that are almost impossible to reach without enzymatic assistance. If the sugary layer remains, the pests will return as soon as new coatings form.
How the enzyme cleaner for plants works
Phoenix works with specific enzymes, These enzymes break down precisely the organic structures that make up honeydew and other deposits. Proteases decompose protein residues, amylases break down sugary carbohydrate deposits, and lipases break down fats. The result: no more sticky surface, no more nutrients, no more favorable conditions. This way, your plant remains permanently unattractive to unwanted pests after cleaning—instead of them returning weeks later. Enzymes They act as biological catalysts, explains Wikipedia.
⏱️ Duration of action of the mixed solution
After mixing 48 hours full power, followed by a slower breakdown of the enzymes. Up to Ready for use in 20 days. That's the advantage of the granules: you only mix when you need it — the remaining quantity remains unchanged and stable until the next use.
Enzyme cleaner for plants — application in 4 steps
Mix
Dissolve 20g of granules in 100–200ml of hot water (60–80°C), then top up to 1–1.5L.
Pretreatment
Rinse the plant beforehand (bathtub or garden hose) — rinse off loose deposits and residues.
Spray
Spray leaves and stems evenly from above and below — apply liberally.
Let it take effect
Do not wipe off — enzymes will dissolve the deposits on their own. For heavier deposits, repeat after 2–3 days.
The coatings are removed, the sheet is clean — No longer a livelihood, the guests are leaving..
💡 Mix correctly: First, dissolve the granules completely in approximately 100–200 ml of hot water—this activates the enzymes without lumps. Then top up to the desired amount (20 g per 1 liter).
Suitable accessories for plant cleaning
The right equipment for thorough plant cleaning — both indoors and outdoors.

Where Phoenix helps
One granule — many applications. Phoenix works wherever organic substances need to be eliminated.
Granules instead of liquid — the crucial difference
Ready-mixed liquid enzyme cleaners lose their effectiveness during storage. Phoenix remains effective as stable granules, until you need it — and then immediately unleashes its full enzymatic power for the thorough cleaning of your plants.
You dose precisely: 20g for 1 liter, 10g for 500ml, 5g for 250ml. No more throwing away half-full bottles. More economical, fresher, more effective.
⚠️ Safety Notice
Keep out of reach of children and animals. Even though there is no danger, children and animals should not have direct access to the product. Phoenix is not subject to labeling requirements according to EC lists, is not classified as dangerous goods, and is classified as water hazard class 1.
Frequently asked questions about the enzyme cleaner for plants
Is Phoenix Enzymreiniger a pesticide?
No. Phoenix Enzymreiniger is neither a plant protection product nor a biocide. It is a cleaner for plant surfaces: it dissolves honeydew, sticky deposits, and organic residues from leaves and shoots. It is not officially approved as a plant protection product, nor is such approval required for cleaning purposes.
What exactly does the enzyme cleaner for plants do?
Phoenix enzymatically cleans its leaves and stems of honeydew, sticky secretions, and organic deposits. This layer is the food source and habitat for many unwanted guests. Without it, they lack this foundation—the plant becomes uninteresting to them, and they migrate away on their own.
How often should I repeat the cleaning process?
For light deposits, a single cleaning is often sufficient. For stubborn deposits, we recommend multiple applications at intervals of 2–3 days. The solution is at full potency for 48 hours after mixing and ready for use for up to 20 days—simply use the remaining amount for the next cleaning.
Can I use Phoenix on crops and fruit?
Yes. According to a chemical report (Dr. Mang, Chemical Laboratory Frankfurt, 2004), Phoenix is suitable for cleaning in the food industry. After application and rinsing, no adverse effects on human health are to be expected. Note: This is not a food safety approval according to EC Regulation 1935/2004, but rather a suitability for cleaning applications. Rinse treated crops with clean water before consumption.
Does Phoenix harm the plants themselves?
No. Phoenix is non-corrosive and non-suppressant, gentle on materials, and does not damage leaves or stems. For very sensitive plants (orchids, rare succulents), we recommend testing it on an inconspicuous area.
Can I also plant Phoenix in a greenhouse?
Yes, Phoenix is suitable for use in living spaces, gardens, greenhouses, and on balconies. In greenhouses, we recommend adequate ventilation during application—not because of toxicity, but because of its slight inherent odor, which dissipates quickly.
How biodegradable is Phoenix Enzymreiniger really?
The surfactants in Phoenix are at least 90% biodegradable — this is confirmed in the safety data sheet (section 12). Phoenix is classified as WGK 1 (slightly hazardous to water), not a dangerous good, and does not require labeling according to EC lists. It has a slight inherent odor that dissipates quickly.
