Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on my hydrangeas?

Yes, if you have blue hydrangeas, which are acid-loving, this will help maintain their color and health.

How often should I apply the fertiliser?

It is recommended to apply the fertiliser twice a year for optimal growth and flowering.

Is this safe to use on blueberries?

Absolutely. Blueberries thrive in acidic soil, and this fertiliser provides the essential nutrients they require.

Can this be used in pots and containers?

Yes, the pellet form is very easy to measure and apply to container-grown shrubs.

Will this harm my non-acid loving plants?

It is formulated for acid-loving plants; using it on plants that require alkaline soil may lead to poor growth or nutrient imbalances.

Does this product expire?

When kept in a cool, dry place, the fertiliser remains effective for a long period, though it is best used within a reasonable timeframe for maximum potency.

Troubleshooting

Plants still showing yellow leaves despite application

Ensure the soil pH is not excessively high; you may need to supplement with a soil acidifier if the soil remains too alkaline.

Pellets not dissolving

Lightly water the area after application to help the nutrients penetrate the soil and reach the root zone.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents leaf yellowing with added iron
  • Suitable for both neutral and acidic soil types
  • Easy to apply pellet form
  • Promotes healthy foliage and vibrant flowers
  • Versatile use for garden beds and containers

Cons

  • Not suitable for plants that prefer alkaline soil
  • Requires application twice per year for best results
  • Limited to specific plant categories like azaleas and rhododendrons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, apply this product twice during the growing season. While it is safe for acid-loving shrubs, keep the pellets away from the immediate stems to prevent accidental foliage burn. Store the container in a cool, dry place to maintain pellet integrity. Compatibility is high for ericaceous species, but avoid using this on plants that require high pH levels, as the acidification may stunt their growth.
