Vitax Sulphate of Iron is a specially formulated soil treatment designed to improve the growing conditions for acid-loving plants. By reducing the alkalinity in the soil, it makes essential nutrients and elements more available, promoting healthy plant growth.
This product is especially beneficial for plants that prefer acidic environments and can thrive in such conditions, like azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolias, conifers, and various types of ericas and alpines.
Enhances Soil Acidity for Acid-Loving Plants:
Vitax Sulphate of Iron reduces the alkalinity of the soil, creating an acidic environment where nutrients are more easily absorbed by plants that thrive in such conditions. This is particularly beneficial for plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, magnolias, and conifers.
Improves Nutrient Availability:
By lowering the soil pH, it unlocks vital nutrients in the soil, including iron and magnesium, which are essential for the healthy growth of acid-loving plants. This helps plants like ericas and alpines grow strong and vibrant. The sulphate of iron helps address nutrient deficiencies and provides a natural solution to soil problems.
Calcifuge Plant Support:
Specifically formulated for "calcifuge" (lime-hating) plants, it helps these plants flourish by making the soil more favorable to their growth, improving the overall health and vitality of plants that struggle in alkaline soils. This product is a great choice for gardeners looking to create the best possible growing conditions for plants that thrive in acidic soils.
Regular Top Dressing for Long-Term Benefits:
When applied as a top dressing, Vitax Sulphate of Iron provides ongoing soil conditioning, ensuring that plants consistently receive the ideal growing conditions for a long period of time. This promotes sustainable health for garden plants that require regular maintenance.
