Vitax has lots in store for 2024

 

Vitax will be adding to its organic and specialist liquid feed ranges in 2024 as it continues with its drive to deliver specialist products that meet the demands of consumers, garden centres and nurseries.

 

New for 2024, and a real hit with customers, are Vitax’s three new additions to its specialist liquid feed range.

 

Vitax Liquid Acer Feed and Vitax Liquid Olive Tree Feed follow the popularity in recent years of the pelleted pouch varieties’ and are joined by Vitax Herb Feed, all which have been developed due to a growing preference amongst consumers for products that contain the right nutrients for the right plant.

 

Firm favourites amongst gardeners due to their vibrant, year-round rich colour, Japanese Maples and Acers are an impressive addition to any garden and require a balanced liquid feed to support healthy growth and enhance their striking foliage.

 

Vitax Liquid Acer Feed is based on pure mineral nutrients, including potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus, to encourage a fast uptake of nutrients to promote strong root growth.

 

Similar to Japanese Maples, Olive Trees have become increasing popular and more widely available in recent years.

 

Suited to all soil types, but particularly useful in peat free composts or free draining growing media where long-term nutrient retention may be limited, Vitax Liquid Olive Tree Feed will revitalise plants and inject a much-needed boost to trees of all age and size.

 

Containing tailored nutrients to enable the tree to flourish, Vitax Liquid Olive Tree Feed is provided as a concentrate.

 

Completing the trio of new liquid feeds is Vitax Herb Feed. Grown all year round, herbs require nutrients to be replenished regularly.

 

Vitax Herb Feed is enriched with seaweed and other essential nutrients to encourage strong healthy growth. Suitable for vegan gardening, the fast-acting nutrient boost also helps improve taste and aroma. 

 

Joining the new liquid feeds in 2024 is Vitax Organic All Purpose Pelleted Plant Food. A nutrient-rich, plant-based feed, it is bursting with natural ingredients to support plants and crops reach their full growth potential from the very start of their growing journey.

 

100% natural, once applied the pellets slowly break down to condition and nourish the soil, increasing soil microbial activity to provide a steady release of nutrients. The pellets are also child, pet and bee friendly, as well as suitable for vegan gardening.

 

Mark Butler, national sales manager for Vitax, says: “Preparing for the release of any new products is exciting, so it is always great to hear feedback from customers that you have listened and delivered the products that consumers are demanding.

 

“The products were unveiled for the first time at Glee earlier this year, which is a great event for showcasing what’s new for next year. All the new products proved popular with both existing customers and new visitors to the stand, especially the specialist feeds which have certainly sparked interest amongst potential buyers.”

 

All the new products will be available pre-season ready for next year’s growing season.
