Description
VitaLink Buddy is a popular additive packed full of flower boosting goodness. Coming in a highly concentrated form, using only a little of this stuff goes a very long way. Designed for use alongside VitaLinks complete fertilisers; VitaLink Buddy helps increase flower/fruit production and overall promotes heavier and larger flowers and fruits - ensuring you get the most out of your plants.
One of the main features of VitaLink Buddy is the use of phosphite - the plant-usable version of phosphorus. Most other plant nutrient brands include their phosphorus in the form of plant-usable phosphate. Although phosphate works great for boosting the availability of this flower/fruit stimulating element, it isnt the most effective method of delivering phosphorus to your plants.
Instead, VitaLink Buddy uses a specific ratio of both phosphite and phosphate. This careful blend has been scientifically proven to accelerate the uptake of phosphorus by plant root systems as well as enhance plant defense systems, protecting them from common disease problems such as Pythium (root rot).
Alongside phosphorus, VitaLink Buddy also contains a high-quality form of the other flower/fruit boosting element potassium. Together, you get a concentrated form of the two elemental additives that will give your plants a real boost during the flowering/fruiting stages of development.
Key features of VitaLink Buddy include:
- Specific phosphite/phosphate ratio for optimum results
- High potassium to nitrogen ratio to promote floral / fruit growth
- Optimum potassium/magnesium levels for better nutrient uptake at the root zone
- Highly concentrated formula - use only a small amount to get great results
Weve stocked VitaLink products since we began over twenty years ago and overall they are easy on plants and an effective collection of complete fertilisers and additives. We really like VitaLink Buddy as it uses a specific phosphite/phosphate ratio thats well proven to enhance uptake and protect from disease. We recommend using this alongside VitaLinks Bloom nutrients for the best results.
