The Levington Tomorite Concentrated Tomato Food isn’t just great for growing juicy tomatoes, it can be used on your hydrangeas too.
“It is ideal for tomatoes, vegetables and flowering pot plants and produces top quality, full flavoured tomatoes.
“Our seaweed comes from a sustainable source in the Nordic region and is collected without damaging the environment,” the product description reads.
And it has almost a perfect five star rating on Tesco’s website too.
One happy shopper said: “Really good concentrated food I use for all my flowers and shrubs, they love it!
“Good value for money a little goes a long way, easy to mix in the watering can too and easy to store once opened. Bottle can be recycled too. Good price.”
So, why is it especially good for your hydrangeas?
These flowers often struggle to bloom due to undesirable weather temperatures, as well as being planted in the shade and lack of pruning.
Another possibility, according to the pros at Home Digest, another may be you need to fertilize your plants.
“One way to remedy that particular issue is to consider using Tomorite to encourage new growth, but only if you’ve considered certain factors such as the age of your hydrangeas, the timing of application, and the amount that should be used,” they explained.
What is Tomortie?
Tomorite is different from other fertilizers because it “contains an unbalanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — having a particularly increased potassium level,” the garden pro explained.
Because hydrangeas need a lot of potassium to create large blooms, Tomorite can give the extra nutrients it needs.
Before using it on your hydrangeas, you should consider if your plant is fully established, it’s also best to apply Tomorite during the summer months when your plant is growing.
Simply water the soil surrounding the plant, and make sure to avoid getting any of the solution on leaves as this could lead to fungal diseases.
As always, be sure to follow the instruction on the bottle for the best results.
