Just got a foliar liquid based seaweed fertilizer with some humic acid ingredient on it. Wondering if its good or bad for the plant?
It says Seaweed extract, enzymes, humic acid, 8 macronutrients, 12 micronutrients as the ingredients.

It's a byproduct of peat decomposition. Your plants are in it often. It might be good to periodically flush your media if you notice any buildup on your sundews. Otherwise it should be fine.

Thanks would like to test this out on my plants also some an old post about his sundews with new growth turning brown due to humic build up so I guess I need to flush the media.

Humic Acid is great for plants but always buy from verified seller.

Carnivorous plants ≠ most houseplants I'd still keep to a schedule when it comes to flushing the media, and use some DI water on a qtip to gently remove any brown buildup that forms on new drosera leaves
