How to use:
1 small gloved handful contains approximately 30g
For Established Plants
- Evenly sprinkle pellets around the base of the plant at a rate of 30g/m². Lightly work them into the soil, and if the soil is dry, water in after application.
- Apply twice per season: Once at the start of the growing season (March/April) and again when the plant begins.
For New Plants
For Chalky Soils and Yellowing Leaves
- Alkaline and chalky soils are generally unsuitable for acid-loving plants like azaleas and camellias, as they lack accessible iron, a crucial nutrient that high pH levels lock up. By using Vitax Azalea, Rhododendron & Shrub Fertiliser along with moss peat or other acidic supplements, you’ll provide essential iron and reduce soil pH, making nutrients more available to the plant.
- Regular use of Vitax Azalea, Rhododendron & Shrub Fertiliser, combined with Seaweed plus Iron, enhances growing conditions. Apply at a rate of 40g/m² and repeat one month after the first application. In hard water areas, water with rainwater for best results.
