The Vitax Buxus Feed & Liquid Fertiliser set is for gardeners looking to maintain healthy, vibrant Buxus plants, offering a dual-action approach for both immediate and sustained nutrition. While it provides comprehensive care, users should be mindful of the application rates for optimal results. This set includes a 1kg slow-release granular feed and a 1L fast-acting liquid fertiliser, designed to combat common issues like blight and yellowing, promote deep green foliage, and support strong root development.

The liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season as needed, typically every 2-4 weeks, especially if plants show signs of stress or nutrient deficiency. Always follow the dilution instructions on the bottle.
The 1kg granular feed is best applied in spring as new growth begins. This provides a sustained release of nutrients throughout the main growing season.
This feed set is specifically formulated for Buxus plants. While it contains essential nutrients, it may not be optimal for other plant types, which might have different nutritional requirements.
Peat-free means the product does not contain peat, which is a natural resource often harvested from peat bogs. Using peat-free alternatives helps to protect these valuable ecosystems.
The 1kg pack is generally sufficient for a number of plants depending on their size and density. For established hedges, spread evenly around the base. For individual plants, apply a light dressing. Refer to product packaging for precise application rates based on area or plant size.
While the product is designed for plant use, it is always recommended to store it safely away from pets and children. Keep pets away from treated areas until the fertiliser has been watered in and is no longer visible on the surface.
Ensure the liquid feed was mixed and applied correctly according to the dilution rates. Check if the granular feed was watered in adequately. Persistent yellowing may indicate other issues like poor drainage or disease, requiring further investigation.
Verify that the correct dosage was applied for the size of the plant or area. Re-check the application timing; spring application of granular feed is crucial for seasonal nutrition. Ensure plants are receiving adequate water and sunlight, as fertiliser alone cannot overcome all environmental stresses.
Ensure the granular feed was watered in thoroughly after application. If drainage is very rapid, consider applying a lighter, more frequent application if appropriate or mulching around the base to help retain moisture and nutrients.
