This guide is for gardeners growing Japanese maples and acers, especially those in pots or containers. The Vitax Liquid Acer Feed offers a balanced, easy-to-use liquid nutrient solution to maintain rich foliage colour and encourage healthy growth. A key benefit is its suitability for peat-free compost. However, users must be mindful of regular watering between feeds, as acers are sensitive to dry conditions.

For container-grown acers, apply the diluted feed every 14 days from April to September. For border trees, apply as a root drench as needed to support growth.
This feed is specifically formulated for Japanese maples and acers. For other plant types, a general-purpose liquid feed may be more appropriate.
Mix one capful (approximately 20ml) of the concentrate into 6 litres of water.
The concentrated feed should be stored securely away from children and pets. Once diluted and watered into the soil, it is absorbed by the growing media, but caution should still be exercised during application and storage.
The feeding period is from April to September, coinciding with the active growing season for Japanese maples and acers.
Acers are sensitive to dry conditions. Ensure plants are watered regularly with plain water between feeding intervals to help the plant absorb nutrients effectively.
This may indicate a need for feeding. Apply Vitax Liquid Acer Feed every 14 days as per instructions. Ensure adequate watering between feeds.
Check for consistent watering and adequate sunlight. Apply the liquid feed to provide necessary nutrients to encourage growth.
Ensure you are using the correct ratio of feed to water (1 capful to 6 litres). Mix thoroughly in a watering can. If the issue persists, ensure the product has not expired.
Always wear garden gloves when handling the concentrated product. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after use.
Application: Mix one capful (20ml) of Vitax Acer Feed into 6 litres of water. Water the soil around the base of the plants with this solution.
Frequency: Apply every 14 days from April to September for container and pot-grown acers. For border trees, apply as a root drench as needed to support growth and foliage density, particularly in warm conditions.
Compatibility: Ideally suited for use with peat-free compost or free-draining growing media. It provides essential minerals directly to the root zone.
