Miracle-Gro Drip & Feed All Purpose Houseplant Food. 3 Pack

Product Information

Unlike many other hydroponic systems, drip irrigation is not labor intensive and doesn’t require much maintenance.

Once your drip system is set up, the automated nature of the feeding method means you can leave the grow room alone for a few days and your plants will still get everything they need while you’re not there. The Types of Drip IrrigationIt’s incredibly important that you work out how long to run your drip system for. And working it out includes the consideration of lots of variables. Watering isn’t targeted to specific plants, therefore, some areas will receive more water than others Obviously, you’ll need to dispose of this wastewater, and for that reason, some suggest this method is wasteful.

End stoppers and hole plugs are used at the end of the main tube or to plug small holes along the length of the main tube. You have an option to choose either a Cactus & Succulent-labelled fertiliser or a generic 'Houseplant' product, as both will provide near-similar quantities of nutrients. The only difference between the two is that 'Cactus & Succulent' products will learn towards potassium (flowers), whereas 'Houseplant' products will provide more nitrogen (foliage). We'd recommend Growth Technology's Cactus Focus , as it allows for all of the nutrients in the correct proportion, with being much cheaper than other products.Concentrated: Miracle-Gro, Westland, Vitax & Wilko's. Because of the high counts of iron, manganese and boron found in acidic soils and fertilisers, you must only use ericaceous-labelled food and compost. A too-alkali fertiliser will result in yellowing leaves, poor growth and a general decline in health. For this reason, we'd recommend 'Wilko's Liquid Ericaceous Plant Feed' , as it's very cheap and contains the correct ratio of nutrients. Most small systems with up to 16 drippers can operate on small low-pressure pumps such as the Maxijet 1000. As your plants absorb the nutrients they need, nutrient and pH levels of your solution will be constantly changing. This will mean that you will need to closely monitor and adjust your solution, as well as regularly replace it completely.
