How to Use
Directions for Use
Application - Change hydrangea flower colour to pink; maintain pink flower colour, raise soil pH and make soil sweeter (more alkaline).
Rate - Mix 25ml to 5L water, ensure all the measured liquid is washed into the final mix.
Frequency - Every 3-4 weeks.
Timing - Apply any time of the year or after winter pruning to adjust and maintain flower colour.
Area - 5L/5m2: apply to moist soil around plant.
For best results, check the soil pH before and during treatment: (at least every 3 months) the optimum soil pH to ensure pink flowers is 7.5 - 8.5. Do not raise soil pH above this range as it could lead to plant damage. It is best to apply many smaller treatments rather than a single large treatment. To raise the pH of highly acidic soil will require a large number of repeat applications.
Storage
Store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Precautions
- DO NOT apply to foliage. If contact occurs, rinse off immediately with water. Always apply to moist soil. Do not apply when maximum temperature is expected to reach above 30C or if the plant is suffering mositure stress. Best applied during early morning or late afternoon.
- Read label before use.
