Starke Ayres Acid Loving Plant Food

Some plants thrive in slightly acidic soil — think Hydrangeas, Azaleas, Camellias, Gardenias, and Blueberries. When the soil becomes too alkaline, their leaves can yellow, and flowers lose vibrancy. That’s where this product comes in. Acid Loving Plant Food gently adjusts the soil’s pH into the ideal range (around 5.0 to 6.0), helping plants absorb nutrients properly again. It’s rich in iron and essential trace elements, which quickly restore healthy, green foliage and deeper flower colour — especially the blue shades in hydrangeas. Use it alongside your normal fertiliser to fine-tune soil balance and keep acid-loving plants performing at their best. Simply sprinkle it around the root zone and water in well. Within a few weeks, leaves regain their deep green colour, and plants look noticeably stronger. Why You’ll Love It: • Revives yellowing leaves and restores rich, green colour • Deepens blue tones in hydrangeas and improves flower vibrancy • Helps acid-loving plants absorb nutrients efficiently • Easy to apply and works alongside your regular fertiliser • Keeps Camellias, Azaleas, and Gardenias healthy and glossy Cape Garden Tip: Apply at the start of the growing season and again mid-season for best results. Avoid using near lime-based products, which can undo the soil’s acidity balance.
