Nutrient-Rich Plant Food for Acid-Loving Plants: Azaleas, Jasmines, Roses, Camellias, Gardenias (2 lb.)

This fertilizer formulation is primarily designed for azaleas, camellias, gardenias, and other acid-loving plants that thrive in acidic environments. It contains a blend of organic and man-made nutrients that work to lower the soil pH factor and provide essential iron. The fertilizer includes ureaform, monoammonium phosphate, sulfur, potassium sulfate, cottonseed meal, iron oxysulfate, and ferrous sulfate. There are three types of iron and four acidifying sources in this special blend, ensuring the soil's pH is adjusted to create a prosperous growing environment. The nitrogen sources are microbial and slow-release, preventing root burn.

With the comprehensive range of ingredients in this NutriStar plant food, additional soil amendments typically required for azaleas are not necessary. With continued use, your azaleas should exhibit progressive improvement in health and beauty with each passing season. This fertilizer is also excellent for a variety of other acid-loving plants, including camellias, gardenias, magnolias, dogwoods, ferns, redbuds, jasmines, hydrangeas, and caladiums.

The NutriStar plant food features a balanced (NPK) ratio of Nitrogen (9%), Phosphate (13%), and Soluble Potash K2O (11%). The four acidifying sources work to lower the soil pH, creating an optimal growing environment for the targeted plants. The three sources of nitrogen ensure a healthy green-up while avoiding root burn, and the three sources of iron (3.2%) promote plant health, deep, and dark green leaves. The addition of cottonseed (20%) provides a slow and consistent feeding for the plants.

This fertilizer is an excellent source of nutrients and minerals for in-ground and container-grown, acid-loving flowering plants. It helps improve tolerance to dry weather conditions, promotes heavy flowering, and increases the size and strength of the plants. For best results, apply the fertilizer at the beginning of spring and then every other month during the growing season.

NutriStar works in harmony with the soil and its biology to provide plants with the optimal nutrition at the right time and in the appropriate amounts. Your plants will experience an immediate boost upon application, coupled with lasting benefits that continue to nourish them. The superior quality of this plant food has made it the leading landscapers' choice for flowers for over 30 years.
