Manutec Hydrangea Pinking Fertiliser is a specific fertiliser developed to maintain safe nutrient level and optimum pH values that are suitable for producing pink hydrangeas. As the soil pH determines the sepal colour, it is most important that the pH of the soil or potting media is determined and adjusted prior to growing period. Any pH between 5.5 and 6.0 is acceptable during plant growth, but when forcing begins the pH for a crop of pink sepals must be 6.0 or higher. pH can be increased by adding lime to the media and maintained by regular use of this fertiliser solution. Directions For Use By Watering Can/Foliar Spray Dissolve 20g (4 measures of enclosed spoon) of Part 1 (Fertiliser p Pink Powder) to 5 litres of water. Then add 20g (4 measures of enclosed spoon) of Part 2 (Calcium Nitrate - Clear Crystals) into the same above 5 litres of solution and dissolve. Apply this 5 litres of solution over 5 square metres, or to the soil surrounding four full size Hydrangeas. Applications must commence soon after winter pruning. Repeat applications, every 2 weeks, until flowering is finished. Best results are achieved by applying every 2 weeks, all year round.
