Phostrogen Ericaceous Food is a specialized plant food formulated to promote the growth and vitality of acid-loving plants, resulting in healthier and more beautiful foliage and blooms. Specifically designed for plants such as azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons that thrive in acidic soil but dislike lime, this organic granular feed provides essential nutrients and trace elements necessary for their optimal development.
One of the key features of Phostrogen Ericaceous Food is its high iron content, which helps produce richer and greener leaves. Acid-loving plants are often prone to leaf yellowing, a common symptom of iron deficiency. By incorporating extra iron into the formula, this plant food helps prevent such yellowing and promotes vibrant, lush foliage.
Applying Phostrogen Ericaceous Food is a simple and straightforward process. The granular feed can be directly applied to the base of the plant and then gently hoed into the surrounding soil. This allows the nutrients to reach the plant's root system and be absorbed efficiently. It is recommended to apply the plant food before watering the plants to ensure proper distribution and absorption.
The quality and organic nature of Phostrogen Ericaceous Food are validated by its approval for organic gardening by the Soil Association. This accreditation ensures that the product meets strict organic standards, providing gardeners with a reliable and environmentally friendly option for nourishing their acid-loving plants.
