Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What makes a plant “ericaceous”?
A: Ericaceous plants prefer acidic soils with a pH below 7 and do not thrive in alkaline or chalky soils. Examples include azaleas, camellias, and rhododendrons.

A: While it won’t harm most plants, this formula is tailored to the specific nutritional needs of acid-loving varieties and may not deliver optimal results for other types.

Q: Can I use this plant food year-round?
A: For best results, apply weekly during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop feeding in autumn and winter when plant growth slows.
