Plagron Lemon Kick is a citric-acid pH-down product for prepared irrigation water or nutrient solutions. Use it when measurements show the pH needs to be lowered.

Measured pH adjustment

It can be used with appropriate soil, coco or nutrient-solution routines. Add it in small amounts after other nutrients have been mixed, stir thoroughly and test again before adding more.

Water correction alongside feeding

Lemon Kick adjusts pH; choose a suitable base fertilizer separately to provide plant nutrients. Follow the product label and handle the acid concentrate carefully.

Plagron Lemon Kick is a citric-acid pH regulator for measured irrigation water or nutrient solutions when pH remains above the range appropriate to the plant and medium. It may also be used when watering soil-grown plants with consistently alkaline water.

Adjust in small measured steps. Its citric-acid composition does not establish comparative safety; follow the product label and use the same careful handling as for other pH-lowering concentrates.

What's inside:

NPK Ratio: No NPK / water + citric acid
Nutrient basis: pH regulator - organic acid

Plagron Lemon Kick is a citric-acid pH-down product. It lowers prepared water or nutrient solution without acting as a fertilizer.

Its composition is water and citric acid, so the purpose is pH correction rather than NPK nutrition. Use it after the feed has been mixed and tested.

How to use it

Add Plagron Lemon Kick drop by drop after nutrients are mixed until the solution reaches about pH 5.5-6.5. Stir, wait briefly and test again before adding more.

Use it only when the measured pH is too high for the growing method.

➜ A few notes before measuring, mixing or applying :

Test first, then adjust only when the pH reading calls for it. Keep pH-down and pH-up products separated during mixing.

Store upright and closed because acidifiers can damage surfaces if spilled.

Die Pflanzen waren prima verpackt und ein heatpack war im Paket enthalten. Die Lieferzeit hat 2 bis 3 Tagen gedauert, was aus meiner Sicht wirklich gut ist. Alle drei Pflanzen haben die Lieferung gut überstanden. Ich habe mich auf Hoyas spezialisiert und habe schon die nächsten Pflanzen meiner Wunschliste auf der Website gefunden. Daher wird die nächste Bestellung nicht lange auf sich warten lassen.

The plants are carefully packaged and arrive in great conditions (I’m based in Spain) and they’re always there to help in any way they can with your purchase.I have and will always recommend Foliage Factory to every friend I can. I’m not only satisfied with their plants and prices, but their customer service is exceptional.

Very healthy and well packed plant. Unfortunately there was one plant that ordered couldn’t be delivered as it was out of stock hence 1 star less.

Die Sendung kam leider in keinem guten Zustand bei mir an, kann passieren. Habe mich darauf hin sofort an Foliage Factory gewandt und habe selten einen so guten, schnellen, freundlichen und kulanten Kundendienst erlebt.

Everything arrived in good condition and very well packed - it wasn't easy with a fragile plant and a heavy bag of substrate. I recommend it!

Bester online-Pflanzenhandel den ich kenne (habe davor 4 andere ausprobiert). Eine teure Pflanze wurde beim Transport beschädigt und mir ersetzt. Der Kontakt dabei war auch sehr nett (danke Jan) und hat mir gut geholfen. Die anderen Pflanzen sind in einem sehr guten Zustand, keine Schädlinge, super Bewurzelung. Nur zu empfehlen! :)

The plants have arrived in perfect condition, the roots and the foliage so so healthy! I had problem with 1 plant out of 16 and they have responded to my email almost instantly and the issue was resolved straight away. I'm really impressed and satisfied, definitely getting more plants from them again!

I received perfectly heathy and absolutely beautiful plants, even bigger than expected. The delivery within Europe was really fast. I think Foliage Factory has one of the best plant web shops in the internet. It‘s just great to get so much informations about the plants. I will definitely order again :)
