Introduction to Energy Tablet

Energy Tablet Sales Page

Tatara Shoten Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture) has launched a solid fertilizer called 'Energy Tablet' for home gardeners on Amazon.

Since its founding, the company has spent over 40 years providing agricultural materials such as fertilizers and pesticides to local farmers.

In agricultural settings, there are many high-quality fertilizers and materials. However, most are developed for professional farmers and typically come in large quantities, such as 20kg packages.

On the other hand, products available to general consumers at home centers or online are limited in choice. Many feel confused about which product to choose, find the quantities too large, or struggle with dosage measurements.

Leveraging decades of experience in recommending fertilizers to farmers, we have selected truly effective materials and reimagined them into user-friendly formats for home gardening. This is the philosophy behind our home gardening brand.

The newly launched 'Energy Tablet' is the third product in this series.

Our goal is to make 'the joy of growing plants' more accessible.

Growing plants should be enjoyable.

Yet, many have experienced:

"My plant died, even though I watered it."

"I want to care for it, but I don’t know how."

One major reason is fertilizer deficiency or difficulty in proper fertilizer use.

With so many fertilizer types available:

Which one should I choose?

How much should I use?

Measuring and spreading fertilizer can be cumbersome.

These challenges often lead to plant loss.

We aim to lower the barrier to plant cultivation, allowing more people to experience the joy of gardening.

This is a value only professionals who have advised farmers can deliver.

Farmers carefully select the best fertilizers and materials based on crops, soil, and cultivation methods.

For over 40 years, we have been on-site, advising farmers on fertilizer choices.

That’s why we believe selecting only the best-performing materials and delivering them in home-friendly formats is our unique value proposition.

Features of Energy Tablet

Four Types of Energy Tablet

Fertilization Guide by Pot Size

Simply place near the base—no measuring, easy for anyone.

The biggest advantage of Energy Tablet is its simplicity: just place it near the plant base.

No need to measure fertilizer.

For example:

- 1 tablet for 3–4 inch pots

- 2 tablets for 5–6 inch pots

Dosage is clearly designed based on pot size.

Slow-Release Fertilizer

Long-lasting, gradual nutrient release.

This product contains 'Oxamide,' a slow-release nitrogen source.

Oxamide does not dissolve in water but is slowly broken down by soil microbes, providing stable nutrients to plants over an extended period.

The fertilizer effect lasts approximately 30–60 days, reducing the need for reapplication and minimizing maintenance effort.

※ Release duration may vary depending on crop type, soil condition, watering frequency, etc.

Easy to Use—Just Place It

A fertilizer children can enjoy using

With Energy Tablet, simply count the tablets and place them near the base.

No measuring or spreading required, making it safe and enjoyable for young children to participate in plant care.

"Let’s place two tablets for the indoor plant today!"

Simple conversations like this can spark shared moments of watching plants grow together.

We hope this creates opportunities for families to share the joy of blooming flowers and the excitement of harvesting fruit.

We envision this product not only enhancing the joy of gardening but also enriching family time.

Professional-Grade Fertilizer, Now for Home Use

This fertilizer was originally distributed for professional farmers.

We’ve repackaged it into smaller, household-friendly quantities, making it accessible and easy to use for everyone.

Director and Vice President Daigo Tadara

For over 40 years, we have advised local farmers on fertilizers and agricultural materials.

There are many truly high-quality fertilizers and materials in agriculture. However, most are distributed for farmers and are not easily accessible to the general public.

Energy Tablet combines simple usability—'just place it near the base'—with long-lasting slow-release effectiveness.

If growing plants becomes more accessible, small joys like 'a flower bloomed' or 'fruit has formed' will become part of everyday life.

And if these moments spark family conversations or inspire parents and children to grow plants together, we will be truly delighted.

Going forward, we will continue to deliver products that bring agriculture closer to daily life and enrich people’s lives, while sharing the joy and appeal of farming with the general public.
