FAQs

What is the recommended application frequency?

For best results, apply regularly every seven to fourteen days, adjusting based on crop needs and growth stage.

Can I use this feed on leafy green vegetables?

This feed is specifically optimized for fruiting plants. Leafy greens may benefit from a feed with a different nutrient ratio, typically higher in nitrogen. While it may provide some general nutrients, it's not its primary purpose.

How do I store the Vitax Liquid Fruit And Vegetable Feed?

Store the bottle in a cool, dry location, away from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and frost. Ensure the cap is tightly closed.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in its original packaging, the feed typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Always check for any signs of degradation before use.

Is this feed suitable for hydroponic systems?

This liquid feed is designed for soil application or root drenching. It is not formulated for use in hydroponic systems, which require specialized nutrient solutions.

How much water should I mix with the concentrate?

Refer to the dilution rates provided on the product label. These rates vary depending on the application method and the specific crop being fed. Always follow the packaging instructions for accurate dilution.

Troubleshooting

Plants show signs of nutrient burn (scorched leaf tips)

The feed may be too concentrated. Dilute further with water and reduce application frequency. Ensure proper watering of plants.

No noticeable improvement in fruit size or yield

Ensure the feeding schedule is consistent (every 7-14 days). Check that the plant's environmental conditions (light, water, temperature) are optimal. The plant may require a different nutrient balance or be nearing its genetic potential.

Liquid feed appears cloudy or settled

Shake the bottle vigorously before diluting. This is normal for concentrated liquid feeds and does not affect efficacy if mixed properly.
