Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Q2: Can this feed be used on plants in pots?

  • A: Yes, the feed is suitable for acid-loving shrubs grown in outdoor containers and pots.

• Q3: What should I use to supplement this feed?

  • A: For optimal growing conditions, the feed can be supplemented with products like Seaweed plus Iron or Sequestered Plant Tonic.
