Vitax Nutrient‑Rich Buxus Feed – 1 kg Pouch
The Vitax Nutrient‑Rich Buxus Feed is a premium, all‑purpose granular fertilizer specially formulated for Buxus species, including the popular Buxus sempervirens. Packaged in a convenient 1 kg pouch, it delivers a balanced blend of macro and micronutrients that promote dense foliage, robust root development, and overall plant vitality.
Key Nutrient Profile
The formula is engineered to provide optimal growth support with the following essential nutrients:
- Nitrogen (N): 10 % – Encourages vigorous leaf production and green, lush growth.
- Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 5 % – Stimulates strong root systems and enhances plant resilience.
- Potassium (K₂O): 8 % – Improves overall plant health, disease resistance, and drought tolerance.
In addition to these primary elements, the feed contains a suite of trace minerals such as iron, zinc, manganese, and copper. These micronutrients are critical for chlorophyll synthesis, enzyme activity, and metabolic processes that underpin healthy Buxus development.
Extended Nitrogen Release Technology
The product incorporates a proprietary slow‑release nitrogen matrix. This technology ensures a steady supply of nitrogen over several weeks, reducing the risk of nutrient burn while maintaining consistent foliage vigor. The gradual release also aligns with the natural growth cycle of Buxus, providing nutrients when they are most needed.
Versatile Application – Hedges & Containers
Whether you’re cultivating a formal boxwood hedge or nurturing a potted Buxus specimen, this feed is designed to meet the demands of both settings:
- Hedge Installation and Maintenance: The balanced nutrient mix supports rapid establishment of new hedges and sustains mature ones, keeping leaves dense and uniform.
- Container Growth: In pots or planters, the feed’s compact granules fit easily into limited soil volumes, delivering nutrients without excess bulk.
Ease of Use – Simple Application Guidelines
Applying Vitax Buxus Feed is straightforward:
- Preparation: Shake the pouch to ensure even distribution of granules.
- Application Rate: Spread 1 kg over a 10 m² area for hedges, or use proportionally less for smaller containers (e.g., 200 g per 5 L pot).
- Distribution: Evenly scatter the granules across the soil surface.
- Incorporation: Gently work the feed into the top 2–3 cm of soil with a rake or hand, ensuring contact with root zones.
- Watering: Water thoroughly to activate nutrient release and prevent surface crusting.
Repeat application every 6–8 weeks during the growing season for optimal results. The feed can be used in conjunction with other specialized products (e.g., root stimulants or mulch) without adverse interactions.
Environmental Responsibility
The Vitax Buxus Feed is formulated with eco‑friendly considerations:
- No Harmful Additives: Free from synthetic dyes, fragrances, and heavy metals.
- Biodegradable Granules: Designed to break down naturally in the soil, minimizing long‑term residue buildup.
- Low Phosphate Content: Reduces the risk of phosphorus runoff into waterways, supporting sustainable gardening practices.
Packaging and Storage
The product comes in a resealable pouch that protects granules from moisture and contamination. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve nutrient integrity. The reseal feature allows for easy portioning and prevents spillage during transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this feed be used on other shrubs?
A: Yes. While it’s optimized for Buxus, the balanced nutrient profile benefits a wide range of ornamental shrubs and small trees.
Q: How long does one pouch last?
A: For a typical hedge covering 10 m², one 1 kg pouch provides sufficient fertilizer for 6–8 weeks of growth. Container applications will require less per use.
Q: Is it safe for edible plants?
A: The feed is formulated for ornamental use; however, the nutrient levels are low enough that accidental contact with edible crops would not pose a significant risk. Always follow local regulations regarding fertilizer application near food gardens.
