FAQs

How often should I use Vitax Liquid Dahlia Feed?

For best results, apply every 1 to 2 weeks during the active growing season (spring through autumn), following the dilution instructions on the product label.

Can I use this feed on other types of flowers?

While specifically formulated for dahlias, its balanced nutrient profile may benefit other flowering plants. However, results may vary, and it's always best to use feeds designed for specific plant types if available.

Is this feed safe for my dog/cat?

Yes, the product is formulated to be child- and pet-friendly when used as directed. However, it's always advisable to store any garden products out of reach of pets and children.

What does 'concentrated' mean for this feed?

Concentrated means the product is a highly potent liquid that needs to be diluted with water before application. This allows for efficient storage and transport, and you can customize the strength if needed, although following package directions is recommended.

Can I use this feed on young dahlia plants?

Yes, it can be used on young plants, but ensure you follow the dilution instructions carefully, possibly starting with a slightly weaker solution if you are concerned about young roots.

What are the main nutrients in this feed?

The feed is enriched with potash, organic nutrients, seaweed, magnesium, iron, and trace elements, providing a complete feeding solution.

Troubleshooting

Leaves appear yellow or stunted

This could indicate a nutrient deficiency. Ensure you are diluting the feed correctly and applying it regularly according to the instructions. Check for proper watering and sunlight conditions.

Few or small blooms

Dahlias require consistent feeding for abundant flowers. Increase the frequency of application within the recommended guidelines or ensure the dilution is accurate. Confirm the plant is receiving adequate sunlight.

Accidental over-application

If over-applied, flush the soil thoroughly with plain water to help dilute the excess nutrients. Reduce the frequency of feeding for the next few applications.
