What is ericaceous plant feed? Secret Feeds Ericaceous Feed 500ml is a concentrated liquid feed specifically intended for acid-loving plants. It provides a specialist feeding option for gardeners growing ericaceous plants in pots, containers or garden beds.
Why it works
- Which plants can you use Ericaceous Feed on? It is suitable for rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas, heathers and blueberries. Whether you grow a camellia in a container, rhododendrons in a garden bed or blueberries in pots, the same 5ml-per-litre dilution applies.
- When should you feed acid-loving plants? Feed every 14 days during active growth in spring and early summer. For camellias specifically, stop feeding after July. Do not continue feeding dormant plants.
- Seasonal routine For correct application, dilute the concentrate with water and apply it to moist compost or soil. This gives customers a simple seasonal routine to follow rather than feeding throughout the year regardless of plant growth.
