FAQs
How often should I use Vitax House Plant Feed?
During the growing season (spring and summer), apply every 2-3 weeks. Reduce or stop application during autumn and winter when plant growth naturally slows.
What is the correct dilution ratio?
The general recommendation is 10ml of feed per 1 litre of water. Always check the product label for the most accurate instructions for your specific needs.
Can I use this on all my houseplants?
It is suitable for most common houseplants. However, avoid using it on very young plants, seedlings, or plants that are dormant or unwell. When in doubt, perform a spot test.
What are the benefits of the added seaweed?
Seaweed extract provides natural trace elements and growth hormones that help improve plant health, encourage root development, and enhance resistance to stress.
How should I store the product?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Will this product harm my pets?
While the product is designed for plants, it is not intended for consumption. Keep it stored safely away from pets. If ingested, consult a veterinarian.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves after application
This may indicate over-fertilization. Ensure you are diluting the feed correctly according to the instructions. If the problem persists, flush the soil with plain water and reduce the frequency or dosage.
No visible improvement in plant health
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate light, water, and appropriate temperatures. Check that the feed is being applied consistently during the growing season. Some plants may also have specific nutrient needs not fully met by general feed.
Product smells strongly
The natural ingredients, including seaweed, can produce a distinctive smell. This is normal and dissipates once diluted and applied to the plant. Ensure the cap is secure to minimize odor when stored.
