Product Information
Full details
Vitax Buxus Feed is a premium, specialist fertiliser designed for gardeners who want to maintain healthy, vibrant box plants, hedges, and intricate topiary. It delivers a balanced mix of essential nutrients that promote lush green foliage and robust root systems while improving plant resilience against pests and environmental stressors like blight. While it provides excellent support for box species, users should take care to follow recommended dosage guidelines to avoid potential nutrient burn, ensuring the product is applied at the root zone rather than directly on delicate leaves.

FAQs
How often should I apply Vitax Buxus Feed?
For best results, apply during the growing season (spring through late summer) according to the instructions on the packaging.
Can I use this on other evergreen shrubs?
This feed is specifically formulated for Buxus. It may not be suitable for other plant types with different nutrient requirements.
Is the tub resealable?
Yes, the 5kg tub is designed to be tightly resealed to protect the contents from moisture.
Does this product prevent box blight?
It helps support plant health, which can increase resilience, but it is not a cure or guaranteed preventative measure for blight.
Should I wear gloves while applying?
It is recommended to wear gardening gloves whenever handling fertilisers as a best practice for skin safety.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves after feeding
Ensure the feed was not applied to the foliage. Water the soil thoroughly to help dilute any excess concentration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, measure the amount indicated on the label based on the size of your plant and sprinkle evenly around the root zone. Avoid scattering the feed onto the leaves, as the concentrated minerals can cause unsightly burning. Always water the product into the soil after application to ensure the nutrients are available to the roots. When not in use, ensure the 5kg tub is sealed tightly and stored in a cool, dry, and secure location away from pets and children. This product is strictly formulated for *Buxus* species and should not be used on ornamental flowers or vegetable patches.
