FAQs

What is the NPK ratio of Vitax Blood Fish & Bone?

While specific NPK ratios can vary slightly by batch, Blood Fish & Bone typically provides a balanced supply of Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potash essential for plant growth.

How often should I apply this fertiliser?

For base dressing, apply once at planting. For top dressing, apply every 4-6 weeks during the growing season as needed, following dosage recommendations.

Can I use this on indoor plants?

It is generally recommended for outdoor garden use. The organic smell might be strong indoors. If used, ensure good ventilation and water thoroughly.

Is this fertiliser safe for pets?

Keep out of reach of children and pets. While derived from natural products, ingestion is not advised. Store securely.

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

It can be used throughout the growing season, from early spring when plants begin to grow, through summer for flowering and fruiting, and even in autumn for perennial preparation.

What does 'organic fertiliser' mean in this context?

It means the nutrients are derived from natural, animal-based sources rather than synthetic chemical processes. It also contributes to improving soil health over time.

Troubleshooting

Product has an odor.

This is normal for organic fertilisers derived from animal by-products. Apply outdoors and wash hands after handling.

Plants show signs of yellowing leaves.

Ensure the fertiliser has been applied correctly and watered in. Yellowing can indicate a nutrient deficiency or overwatering; check other care practices.

No visible improvement in plant growth.

Allow adequate time for the slow-release nutrients to become available. Ensure proper watering and sunlight conditions are met. Reapply if necessary after a few weeks, following dosage guidelines.
