FAQs

When is the best time to apply Vitax Growmore?

Vitax Growmore can be applied throughout the growing season, from February through to October. For optimal results, reapply every 8 to 10 weeks.

Can this fertilizer be used on all types of plants?

It is a general-purpose fertilizer suitable for most plants, including flowers, vegetables, fruits, shrubs, and lawns. However, it is not specifically formulated for acid-loving plants.

How often should I reapply Vitax Growmore?

For best results and continuous support for plant growth, reapply the fertilizer every 8 to 10 weeks during the growing season.

Do I need to water after applying the fertilizer?

Yes, watering after application is recommended, especially if the soil is dry. This helps the nutrients to become available to the plant roots.

Can I use Vitax Growmore on newly laid turf or sown grass seed?

Yes, Vitax Growmore is ideal for use before laying turf or sowing grass seed to promote strong root development and healthy establishment.

What are the main nutrients in Vitax Growmore?

How should I store the fertilizer?

Store Vitax Growmore in a cool, dry place, keeping the container tightly closed. Ensure it is stored away from children and pets.

Troubleshooting

Plants show no significant improvement.

Ensure the fertilizer is applied at the recommended intervals (every 8-10 weeks) and that plants are receiving adequate water and sunlight. Check if the soil has been lightly forked in for better absorption.

Yellowing leaves persist.

Yellowing can indicate various issues. While Growmore provides general nutrients, persistent yellowing might require a soil test to identify specific deficiencies or other problems like over/under-watering or disease.

Granules do not seem to dissolve.

Granules will break down over time with soil moisture. Watering after application will help initiate the process. If they remain on the surface, light forking into the soil aids dissolution and nutrient uptake.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
