Nutrite Soil Acidifier
Optimize soil pH for healthy acid-loving plants
Nutrite Soil Acidifier is a specialized mineral amendment designed for gardeners who want to grow plants that thrive in acidic soil. Made of elemental sulfur, this product gradually lowers the pH of alkaline or neutral soils. This correction is vital: in soil with a pH that is too high, acid-loving plants (such as blueberries or azaleas) suffer from severe nutritional deficiencies because they become unable to absorb the essential nutrients already present in the ground.
Why Use This Acidifier? Key Features- Elemental Sulfur: Provides a stable and long-lasting pH modification through slow biological action in the soil.
- Granular Formula: Allows for clean, localized, and dust-free application directly at the base of the plants.
- Targeted Correction: Unlocks access to iron, manganese, and zinc—critical minerals for the health of "ericaceous" (acid-loving) plants.
- Blueberry Vitality: Ensures the survival and productivity of blueberry plants, which require acidic soil (between pH 4.0 and 5.2) to flourish.
- Blue Hydrangeas: Lowers soil pH to allow for aluminum absorption, the key element needed to achieve deep, vibrant blue flowers.
- Chlorosis Prevention: Effectively corrects leaf yellowing in azaleas, rhododendrons, and camellias by making nutrients available again.
Acidification is a gradual biological process that depends on soil temperature and moisture. For best results, it is recommended to apply the product in early spring.
1. Dosage and Application- Recommended Dose: Approximately 50 g to 100 g per m² depending on your current soil pH and your desired target.
- Method: Sprinkle evenly over the root zone (under the foliage, out to the drip line) and lightly scratch into the soil surface.
- Activation: Water thoroughly immediately after application. Water allows the sulfur to interact with the soil microorganisms that perform the acidic conversion.
- Soil Testing: For maximum precision, test your soil pH before application to adjust the dosage perfectly.
- Patience: pH changes occur over several weeks; avoid over-applying if results are not immediate.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, in its original well-closed container, and out of reach of children and animals.
Note: This product is a soil amendment and not a complete fertilizer. It should be used in addition to a suitable fertilization program.
