FAQs

How often should I apply this fertilizer?

Apply every 2 weeks during the active growing season, and reduce to once a month during the dormant period.

Can I use this for other house plants?

This formula is specifically balanced for orchids; other houseplants may require different nutrient ratios for optimal growth.

Does it work with all orchid species?

Yes, this fertilizer is expertly formulated to be compatible with all species of orchids.

Do I need to water the plant before fertilizing?

It is generally recommended to water the plant lightly before applying fertilizer to protect the roots from potential shock.

How much should I mix?

Mix 5ml of the formula with 1 Litre of water for each application.

Troubleshooting

Visible white crust on the potting medium

This is likely salt buildup; flush the pot with plain, fresh water to wash away excess minerals before the next feeding.

Orchid leaves turning yellow or wilting after feeding

You may have over-fertilized. Flush the roots with water and discontinue feeding for one month to allow the plant to recover.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the feed, always shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the trace elements are well-distributed within the liquid. Mix exactly 5ml of the formula into 1 Litre of clean water. Avoid using softened water if possible, as it may contain excess salts. For application, pour the mixture gently over the root medium, ensuring the roots are damp. Store the bottle in a cool, dark place out of reach of children and pets. Always cap the bottle tightly to prevent evaporation and maintain the chemical stability of the nutrients.
