Using fertiliser for acid loving plants is important for plants such as Camellias, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Daphne’s, Gardenia’s, and Hydrangea’s who all prefer an acidic soil. The Plant Company has specifically blended fertilisers to cater for such plants that also reduces the risk of injury to plants through being applied too heavily. Our blend has a NPK rating of 4.1:6.4:5 with sulphur levels at 19.7 and contains a mix of essential trace elements.
