FAQs

How often should I feed my hydrangeas?

Apply the feed every 7 to 14 days throughout the spring and summer growing seasons.

Can I use this on other flowering shrubs?

While specifically formulated for hydrangeas, its nutrient profile is generally beneficial for many acid-loving or moisture-loving flowering shrubs, though hydrangeas will see the most significant results.

Do I need to mix it with anything other than water?

No, simply mix one capful of concentrate into 4.5 litres of clean water.

Will this change the color of my flowers?

This feed supports the health and vibrancy of the blooms, but hydrangea color is primarily determined by soil pH levels rather than the fertilizer itself.

Is it safe for container plants?

Yes, it is highly recommended for containerized specimens to ensure they get enough nutrients in their limited soil volume.

Troubleshooting

Leaves are turning yellow despite regular feeding

Ensure the feed is reaching the root zone rather than just the surface, and verify that the soil pH is appropriate for your specific hydrangea variety.

Flower blooms appear small or scarce

Check your feeding interval; you should be applying the feed every 7 to 14 days during the active growth phase, and ensure the plant is receiving adequate water between doses.

Water spots or marks on petals

This is likely caused by splash-back during application; always aim the watering can spout directly at the soil base and away from the plant canopy.
