Hey There, Garden Enthusiasts!
We get it, soil pH can be a real puzzle, especially if you’re looking to keep your hydrangeas blue or grow other acid-loving plants like azaleas and blueberries. Well, Manutec Alum is your secret weapon! It’s specifically designed for those quick pH adjustments that make all the difference in your Australian garden.
Why Manutec Alum is the Choice for You
Get Those Hydrangeas to Stay Blue!
Want to know a garden secret? Aluminium Sulphate, or as we like to call it, ALUM, is the key to keeping those hydrangea flowers as blue as the summer sky. ALUM ensures that aluminium ions get taken up by the plant, but only under acidic conditions. So, if you want blue sepals come flowering time, you need a soil pH of 5.5 or lower.

Manutec Alum isn’t just about good looks; it’s also fast-acting. Say goodbye to the waiting game. Your soil pH will lower in no time, and your plants will thank you for it!
