Miracle-Gro Miracid Plant Food

This formula is designed for acid-loving plants that thrive in lower pH soil, such as azaleas, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, camellias, gardenias, and blueberries.

The water-soluble formula is designed to be absorbed by the plant in two ways: through the roots when you water the soil, and through the foliage when you spray the leaves. This allows for faster nutrient uptake compared to granular fertilizers that only feed through the roots.

For best results, apply the solution every 7 to 14 days during the growing season. Consistent application helps maintain the specific soil acidity these plants require for optimal health and blooming.

Yes, it is designed to be mixed with water and applied easily with a standard watering can. You can also use a dedicated garden feeder if you prefer, provided you follow the mixing instructions on the label.

Because this fertilizer helps maintain acidic soil conditions, it can influence the color of certain hydrangea varieties. In acidic soil, bigleaf hydrangeas often produce blue blooms, though results depend on the specific variety and existing soil composition.
