FAQs

How do I dilute the Vitax Organic Liquid Strawberry Fertiliser?

Refer to the product label for precise dilution instructions, as rates vary depending on the application method (e.g., for grow bags, outdoor plants, or under cover).

Can I use this fertiliser on other types of fruit?

Yes, this fertiliser is suitable for strawberries and other soft fruits. It provides a balanced nutrient profile beneficial for a range of berry plants.

When should I start feeding my strawberry plants?

You should start feeding from planting out. The frequency and volume of application should be adjusted as the plant grows and during its fruiting stages, particularly after the first fruits have set.

What does 'high potash' mean for my plants?

High potash content means the fertiliser has a significant amount of potassium, which is crucial for flower and fruit development, overall plant strength, and disease resistance.

Is this fertiliser safe for pets?

While the product is formulated with organic ingredients for garden use, the concentrated liquid should be stored securely away from pets. Ensure diluted feed is absorbed into the soil to minimize direct contact.

How often should I apply the fertiliser when growing under cover?

For strawberries grown under cover, once the fruits have set, apply 2 litres of diluted feed per plant every 7 days to maintain optimum growth and support fruit development.

What should I do if I accidentally use the concentrate undiluted?

If undiluted concentrate has been applied, water the plants thoroughly with plain water to dilute the feed in the soil and minimize potential damage. Monitor plants closely for any signs of stress.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves on strawberry plants

This could indicate a nutrient deficiency. Ensure you are applying the fertiliser at the recommended frequency and dilution. Check for signs of over or under-watering, which can also affect nutrient uptake.

Poor fruit development or small berry size

Confirm that the feeding schedule has been followed consistently, especially after fruit set. Increase application frequency as per the instructions for the specific growing method (e.g., twice a week under cover after fruit set).

Plants appear weak or stunted

Verify the dilution ratio is correct. Using a concentration that is too weak will not provide adequate nutrients. Ensure the plant is receiving appropriate light and water, as fertiliser alone cannot overcome other environmental stress.
