What We Do

Greencare is a fertilizer company located in central Illinois, producing many of its formulations for university research. This is a company famous for the high quality of its products and the fact that its fertilizers are water soluble and environmentally friendly.

We understand the importance of high-quality plants and high yields. Whether you’re a large outfit supplying plants to a huge market or a small grower with a narrow niche, you need to raise your plants with consistency and excellence.

We have waterproof meters for sale. Please see our meters page for a pdf of two name brand options we carry, Laqua and Hanna. We will ship to you, no minimum required.
