Orchid Myst is a nutrient solution designed to replicate the nutritional environment of wild orchi...Orchid Myst is a nutrient solution designed to replicate the nutritional environment of wild orchids. It provides all the necessary elements in the right proportion and strength, mimicking the continuous supply of low-level nutrients found in their natural habitat. This solution can be sprayed on the potting mix, allowing it to trickle down through the bark, avoiding waterlogging and ensuring high oxygenation. It can also be misted gently over the foliage to provide significant nutrition and recreate humidity. Additionally, it can be sprayed onto exposed aerial roots to aid water absorption. For best results, spray downwards through the bark and mist foliage (avoiding flowers) every 2-3 days throughout the growing season. It is not to be used with hairy-leaved plants.
This guide is for orchid enthusiasts looking to provide optimal nutrition to their plants. Growth Technology Orchid Myst Spray replicates the nutritional environment of wild orchids, delivering essential elements for robust growth. A key benefit is the ability to feed through both the potting mix and foliage, however, avoid use on hairy-leaved plants. This guide provides comprehensive instructions for effective use and care.

Troubleshooting
Orchid leaves are yellowing or showing brown tips.
Reduce the frequency of application. These are signs of over-fertilization (nutrient burn). Increase watering to flush out excess nutrients, if necessary.
Orchid is not flowering.
Ensure the orchid is receiving adequate light. Orchid Myst provides nutrients, but flowering also depends on light and environmental conditions. Adjust the light exposure and check the orchid's growing conditions.
White residue appears on leaves.
This is likely from mineral buildup. Rinse the leaves gently with clean water. Ensure you are not over-applying the spray.
