Empathy After Plant Hydrangea Biofertiliser is specifically designed for gardeners seeking to revitalize their hydrangeas, whether planted in pots or established garden borders. By utilizing a unique blend of rootgrow mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial soil bacteria, this fertilizer significantly enhances nutrient uptake and strengthens root structures for more resilient plants. While it provides excellent foundational nutrition for healthy growth and vibrant blooms, it is best used as a supplement to a seasonal feeding program rather than as a standalone solution for plants with severe deficiencies.

While formulated for hydrangeas, the mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria are generally safe for many ornamental garden plants, though specific results may vary.
Apply regularly throughout the growing season as part of your established plant care routine, usually following the dosage instructions on the packaging.
No, this product does not alter the soil pH. Color changes in hydrangeas are controlled by the availability of aluminum in the soil, which is pH dependent.
As with any garden fertilizer, it is recommended to keep pets and children away from the area during and immediately after application until the product has been watered in.
To ensure the best performance of the live biological agents, it is best to use the product within a reasonable timeframe and keep it stored in a cool, dry location.
This is often a sign of beneficial fungal activity and is usually harmless; ensure good airflow and continue normal watering.
This product focuses on plant vitality and root health rather than changing soil pH, which is what determines hydrangea color.
Ensure the granules are watered in immediately after application to help them break down into the root zone.
To apply the product, gently loosen the surface soil around the drip line of your hydrangea, avoiding damage to shallow roots. Sprinkle the recommended dosage of granules evenly around the base, then water thoroughly to help the beneficial bacteria and fungi begin their integration into the soil. Store the 1kg bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the viability of the live biological components. It is compatible with most standard organic garden practices and can be used safely alongside standard mulch or top-dressing materials. Avoid mixing with strong chemical fungicides, as these may inhibit the effectiveness of the mycorrhizal fungi.
