  • Apply fertilizer evenly around the drip line (not directly against the stem).

  • Lightly scratch into the soil surface and water thoroughly.

๐ŸŒฑ Ideal Soil Conditions

To get the most out of this fertilizer, make sure the soil is compatible with acid-loving plants:

  • Soil pH:
    Acid-loving plants thrive in pH 4.5โ€“6.0. Test your soil before application. Use sulfur or acidifying agents if needed to adjust pH.

  • Soil Moisture:
    Maintain even moisture without waterlogging. Use mulch to retain moisture and stabilize soil temperature.

  • Soil Type:
    Opt for organic-rich, well-draining soil. Loamy or sandy loam with added compost or peat moss works best.

  • Organic Matter:
    Boost microbial life and nutrient uptake by working in organic matter such as compost or aged bark fines.
