Vitax Orchid Liquid Feed is designed for orchid enthusiasts looking to promote vibrant blooms and healthy root systems in their house plants. By providing a balanced blend of nitrogen, magnesium, and essential trace elements, this concentrated fertilizer delivers targeted nutrition for delicate growth cycles. While it is highly economical and effective at building disease resistance, users must be careful to properly dilute the mixture to avoid over-fertilizing, which can potentially damage the sensitive root structures of orchids.

This product is specifically formulated for the delicate needs of orchids; it is best to use fertilizers tailored for other houseplant species.
Reduce feeding to once per month during the colder, darker months when the orchid is in a state of lower activity.
Yes, it is formulated to be compatible with all common types of indoor orchids.
While it is best to apply to the root zone, accidental contact with leaves is usually harmless. Simply wipe them gently with a damp cloth.
Yes, it is recommended to alternate between the liquid feed and plain water to prevent salt buildup in the potting medium.
You may be over-fertilizing. Reduce the application frequency or dilute the mixture further with more water.
This is often a build-up of mineral salts. Flush the pot with plain water to clear the salts and reduce the concentration of the feed in future applications.
To prepare the feed, dilute one capful of the concentrate into one litre of water. When applying, ensure the compost is already slightly moist to prevent 'fertilizer burn' on dry roots. Pour the mixture directly into the pot, avoiding the foliage where possible to prevent spots. After feeding, allow any excess liquid to drain from the bottom of the pot; never allow an orchid to sit in standing water, as this negates the disease-resistant benefits of the feed and encourages root rot. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and keep the cap tightly closed to preserve the concentration of the nutrients.
