Empathy AFTER PLANT ACERS is a refined plant feed designed specifically for all types of acers. When planted directly into the ground, acers benefit greatly from treatment during their first year, as their root systems and fungal partners begin to establish.
Apply Empathy AFTER PLANT ACERS to both potted and garden acers to support healthy, vibrant foliage all year round.
Empathy AFTER PLANT ACERS is ideal for supporting growth and vitality in all acer varieties.
For plants in the ground:
Apply 1–2 handfuls (25–50g) around the base of each plant, lightly work into the soil, and water thoroughly. For larger, established plants, apply 2 handfuls per square metre beneath the canopy.
For container plants and topiary:
Apply 2–3 handfuls per plant twice a year. Once annually, remove 5–10cm (2–4 inches) of compost from the top of the pot and replace it with fresh compost. Mix in 1–2 handfuls of Empathy AFTER PLANT ACERS during this process to help keep your acers in peak condition.
Apply in spring at the first signs of growth, as needed throughout summer, and again in autumn as a top dressing.
Please note: Empathy AFTER PLANT ACERS is not a substitute for using rootgrow™ at the time of planting. For new plantings or poor soil conditions, we recommend using pure rootgrow™ mycorrhizal fungi applied directly to the root zone.
