Espoma 18# Azalea Tone

Espoma 18# Azalea Tone is an organic fertilizer designed specifically for acid-loving plants. This product promotes healthy vigorous growth in plants such as azaleas, camellias, gardenias and rhododendrons. It breaks down slowly, which means it will slowly feed the plants without burning them while improving the soil.

Slow-Release Nutrition

The fertilizer is formulated to provide slow-release nutrients.

• Steady Feeding: It breaks down slowly, providing a continual food source for plants. This gradual release minimizes the need for regular applications.
• Prevents Overfeeding: The gradual polymer coating helps avoid burning nutrients, as can occur with powerful chemical fertilizers.

Bio-Tone® Microbes for Better Soil

Espoma 18# Azalea Tone contains Bio-Tone® microbes that promote soil health.

• Boosts Soil Life: These good microbes assist in breaking down organic matter into nutrients available to the plants.
• Improves Soil Structure: The microbes activate the soil and improve the soil's water storage capacity.

Enriching the Soil with Organic Matter

The important advantages of this product are adding organic matter to the soil.

• Better Soil Texture: The organic matter can also help give a loamy soil structure that plants thrive in.
• Moisture and Air: Since it contains more organic matter, the soil retains moisture better and does a good job of remaining aerated, both of which are beneficial for healthy plant growth.

Naturally Low in Salts

Because Espoma 18# Azalea Tone has low salt content, it is gentle on plants.

• Safe for Sensitive Plants: Most acid-loving plants are extremely sensitive to salt. Large amounts of salt can cause damage and burning; thus, using a low-salt formula helps prevent this.
• Gentle Nutrition: Even sensitive plants like gardenias can receive the nutrients they require with no danger.

Designed for Acid-Loving Plants

It is specially balanced for acid-seeking plants.

• Nutrient-Rich Formula: It contains the right balance of macronutrients and micronutrients needed for healthy foliage and strong roots.
• Ideal pH Balance: Acid loving plants like azaleas and rhododendrons like to have a slightly acidic soil pH, which this product helps maintain.
