Know before you buy
This fertilizer is formulated for acid-loving plants that thrive in lower pH environments, such as azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias, gardenias, and blueberries.
Yes. The formula is specifically boosted with chelated iron and zinc, which are essential for correcting chlorosis, the condition that causes yellowing foliage in acid-loving plants.
Because it is water-soluble, the nutrients are immediately available for the plant to absorb through both the roots and the foliage. This provides a faster response compared to slow-release granular fertilizers.
It is a synthetic-based fertilizer that includes natural seaweed granules. This combination provides the precise NPK ratio of 14-18-14 while incorporating the beneficial micronutrients found in seaweed.
Maxsea Acid Plant Food contains soil acidifiers designed to help maintain or lower the pH level in alkaline soils, creating a more suitable environment for acid-loving varieties.
As a quick-release formula, it is designed for regular feeding during the active growing season. Always refer to the specific application rates on the label to avoid over-fertilizing your plants.
