FAQs
Can I use this on indoor plants?
Yes, Vitax Plant Guard is safe to use on indoor plants, though ensure adequate ventilation when spraying.
Is it safe to spray around my cat or dog?
Yes, the formula is non-toxic and safe for pets once the spray has been applied.
Does it kill bees?
No, it is specifically formulated to be safe for bees and other beneficial garden insects.
How long does the 750ml bottle last?
Coverage depends on the size of your plants and frequency of use, but it is designed to treat an average home garden patch effectively.
What should I do if it rains shortly after application?
Rain can wash the protective barrier away; if heavy rain occurs within a few hours of application, you should re-apply once the foliage has dried.
Can this be used on all vegetables?
Yes, it is suitable for all vegetable types, including leafy greens, root vegetables, and fruiting plants.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle is clogged or not misting properly
Rinse the nozzle under warm running water to remove any dried residue and ensure the intake tube is clear.
Pests are returning quickly after application
Ensure you are spraying both the top and underside of the leaves, and verify that you are maintaining the 5-7 day application interval.
Visible white residue on leaves
This is normal as the product dries; however, if it concerns you, you can lightly mist the plants with plain water 24 hours after treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Vitax Plant Guard, simply shake the bottle well to ensure the seaweed extracts and active ingredients are properly mixed. Ensure the spray nozzle is set to the 'fine mist' position for optimal coverage. Always perform a spot test on a small section of a leaf if you are unsure about a specific plant's sensitivity. Store the bottle in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve the organic components of the solution. Keep the container tightly capped when not in use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
