Boost Acid-Loving Plant Growth with Sulphate of Iron
Westland Sulphate of Iron is a specially formulated product for acid-loving plants such as rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, and hydrangeas. This ready-to-use granule fertilizer works by acidifying the soil, allowing these plants to take up essential nutrients like iron, which are often unavailable when the soil is too alkaline. By enriching the soil and unlocking nutrients, Sulphate of Iron ensures vibrant, healthy growth with stronger root development, richer foliage, and more vibrant flowers.
Key Features
Sulphate of Iron helps maintain the optimal pH levels for ericaceous plants, ensuring that they can absorb the nutrients they need for healthy development. It promotes rich, green foliage, prevents the common problem of leaf yellowing (chlorosis), and encourages strong root growth. The ready-to-use granules make it easy to apply, and it works quickly to correct pH imbalances, helping plants thrive in their optimal growing conditions.
Why Use?
Sulphate of Iron is essential for acid-loving plants that require slightly acidic soil conditions. By acidifying the soil, it makes iron and other nutrients available to these plants, preventing deficiencies that can cause poor growth and yellowing leaves. This product is ideal for those growing rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas, and hydrangeas, ensuring they receive the nutrients they need for strong roots, healthy foliage, and longer-lasting flowers.
What to Expect
Using Sulphate of Iron will result in lush, greener foliage and healthier root systems. It will prevent leaf yellowing caused by nutrient deficiencies and create the right soil conditions for vibrant, abundant flowers. Over time, you will notice improved plant vitality and growth, with stronger, more resilient acid-loving plants.
When to Use
Apply Sulphate of Iron every 4-6 weeks during the growing season from March to August to maintain the ideal soil pH for your acid-loving plants. Ensure that you water well before and after application, especially during dry weather, for the best results.
How to Use
One handful of Sulphate of Iron is approximately 35g (1¼ oz). For trees and shrubs, apply 35g per square meter (1¼ oz per square yard) around the base of the plant, gently working it into the soil without disturbing the roots. You can also sprinkle it around the plant stem and water thoroughly. When planting new plants, mix 35g into the bottom of the planting hole and refill with soil or compost. For flowers, apply 35g per square meter (1¼ oz per square yard) on the soil surface, gently forking it in and avoiding contact with plant leaves or stems. Water well after application.
General Advice
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling Sulphate of Iron, and avoid contact with eyes or skin. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as overdosing can cause damage to plants. Always store the product in a dry, frost-free place, away from children, pets, and foodstuffs. Children and pets may safely return to treated areas immediately after application.
