FAQs

How often should I use Vitax Citrus Liquid Feed?

For regular feeding, apply diluted feed every 2-4 weeks throughout the growing season. Adjust frequency based on plant needs and environmental conditions.

What is the dilution ratio for this liquid feed?

A common ratio is 5ml of concentrate per 1 litre of water for general feeding. Always refer to the product label for the most accurate and up-to-date dilution instructions.

Can I use this on plants other than citrus?

This feed is specifically formulated for citrus plants. While it might provide some nutrients to other plants, it is not balanced for their specific needs and could be ineffective or even harmful. It's best used on citrus.

How much liquid feed can I make from one bottle?

One 250ml bottle can make up to 50 litres of plant feed when diluted at the standard rate.

When is the best time of year to use this feed?

Vitax Citrus Liquid Feed is ideal for use throughout the year, particularly during the active growing season (spring and summer) to support growth and fruiting. It can also be used in milder winter climates.

What happens if I use too much feed?

Applying the feed too concentrated can lead to 'fertilizer burn', where the edges of the leaves turn brown and crispy. It's crucial to follow the dilution instructions carefully.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves on citrus plant

This can indicate a nutrient deficiency. Ensure you are feeding regularly with the diluted Vitax Citrus Liquid Feed as per instructions. Check for proper watering and adequate sunlight, as these also affect nutrient uptake.

No new growth or flowering

Ensure the plant is receiving sufficient light and is in appropriate soil. Use the feed consistently during the growing season. Citrus plants require adequate nutrients to support flowering and growth.

Leaves show signs of burning (brown, crispy edges)

This usually means the feed has been applied too strong. Ensure you are diluting the concentrate correctly. If over-fertilization is suspected, water the plant thoroughly with plain water to help leach excess nutrients from the soil.
