Copper is one of the most important nutrients a plant can get. It’s essential for photosynthesis, strong stems, and natural disease resistance.
Most copper products — deficsulphate, oxychloride, hydroxide — barely dissolve in water. Instead of soaking in, they sit on the leaf as gritty particles, rinse off in the next watering, and then settle into the soil. Over time this can harm soil life , while the plant itself remains copper deficient.

How Cuperdem Works
Cuperdem binds copper to heptagluconic acid — a naturally occurring, fully biodegradable sugar acid. This locks the copper into a stable, water-soluble complex instead of a solid particle. The result: copper that dissolves completely, moves into the leaf or root on contact, and travels systemically through the whole plant. You get full coverage at a lower dose, with far less left behind in the soil.
What It Does For Your Plants
Enhances crop immunity — copper at the right level makes it harder for fungal and bacterial pathogens to take hold
Improves photosynthesis — copper is a building block of the enzymes plants use to convert light into energy
Combats fungal diseases — works as both a protective barrier and a systemic treatment
Feeds roots and leaves — fully water-soluble, so it works as a foliar spray, soil drench, or through drip systems
Keeps soil healthier long-term — lower doses do the same job as heavy conventional copper applications
Is copper a “heavy metal”?
Yes, by the common physical definitions (density 8.96 g/cm³, a high-atomic-weight transition metal). Copper is an essential heavy metal (like iron and zinc), whereas lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are non-essential and serve no biological role. Essential metals are homeostatically regulated by the body; the toxic four are not and tend to bioaccumulate.
OMRI Listed — approved for use in organic production
SHC (Sohiscert) certified — recognised organic farming input
Zero-day harvest interval — safe to use right up to picking day on edible crops like lettuce, fruit, and vegetables
For Cannabis cultivation: Because the final harvest is often dried and inhaled or vaporised, it is recommended to switch from foliar spray to a soil drench once flowering begins, rather than spraying the plant directly during flower.
