Miracle-Gro All Purpose Concentrated Liquid Plant Food – 1L

Miracle-Gro All Purpose Concentrated Liquid Plant Food – 1L

A ready-mixed liquid concentrate rather than a powder, which matters if you feed a handful of pots at a time and do not want to be weighing anything out. NPK 7-3-5 with trace elements, measured out with the bottle cap.

Half a capful to a litre of water, or two and a half capfuls to a 4.5 litre can, applied every week or two through spring and summer. It suits ornamentals, fruit, vegetables and houseplants alike, which makes it the bottle to keep by the greenhouse door.

Performance & Benefits

• NPK 7-3-5 with trace elements — a balanced all-round feed rather than a specialist one.
• Liquid concentrate: no weighing, no lumps, no undissolved powder left in the can.
• The cap doubles as the measure — half a cap per litre, two and a half per 4.5 litre can.
• Gentler quarter-cap rate for young or sensitive plants.
• One bottle covers pots, baskets, beds, borders, fruit, vegetables and houseplants.

Suitable For

• Pots, containers and hanging baskets.
• Beds and borders through the growing season.
• Fruit and vegetables as well as ornamentals.
• Houseplants, at the weaker rate.
• Tomatoes setting fruit want more potash than this — Levington Tomorite is the better feed once the first truss has formed.

How to Use

• Add half a capful to 1 litre of water, or two and a half capfuls to a 4.5 litre watering can.
• For young or sensitive plants, use a quarter of a capful per litre.
• Feed every one to two weeks from early spring to late summer.
• Only feed plants that are actively growing, and water dried-out compost before feeding it.
• Wear gloves, avoid applying in direct sunlight, and wash splashes from skin.

Specification

• 1 litre bottle. Barcode 5010272185447.
• NPK 7-3-5 with trace elements.
• Dilution: half a cap per litre; two and a half caps per 4.5 litre can; a quarter cap per litre for sensitive plants.
• Evergreen Garden Care currently list this concentrate in 800ml and 2.5 litre packs and publish no separate figures for the 1 litre bottle, so the rates above are their published rates for the range.
• Some retail listings quote NPK 24-8-16 and over 100 litres of feed for this bottle. Those are the figures for the soluble powder, not for this liquid concentrate.
