Chempak® Fully Balanced Feed - Formula 3

Where to use: Use on bedding plants, houseplants, chrysanthemums, roses, container plants, salad vegetables, dahlias, soft fruit, ericaceous plants, vegetables, sweetcorn and hanging baskets.

How and when to use:

Normal Strength Use: Dissolve 2 level measures of crystals in 5 litres (approx.1 gallon) of water and apply to your plants every 7 to 10 days. Ensure the soil or compost is well moistened.

For more frequent use: Some gardeners prefer to use dilute feed more often. Dissolve 1 level measure in 10 litres of water and apply at every watering. At this strength this pack will make over 2,000 litres of plant food.

Professional tips:

Chrysanthemums: Use for early and late flowering varieties up to colour show. Change To Chempak Formula 2 for bloom feeding.

Carnations: For all types throughout the year.

Early Season Feeding: Ideal formula for Dahlias, Pelargoniums and Geraniums. Change To Chempak Formula 4 when buds form.

Delphiniums: Change to Chempak Formula 8.

Mid Season Feeding: For Begonias, Fuchsias and Gloxinias change To Chempak Formula 4 around July.

Ericaceous Subject: Chempak Formula 3 is suitable for lime hating plants like Azaleas and Rhododendrons. The trace elements will help prevent and cure chlorosis.
