ORCHID FOOD 8oz

Orchids are a bit like those high-maintenance celebrities; they need a specialized diet to truly shine.

Orchid food is formulated with a specific nutrient balance, often lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus and potassium. This encourages blooming, which we're all after, rather than just leafy growth. While suitable for your ferns and pothos, regular houseplant food can be too nitrogen-heavy for orchids, leading to lush foliage but few flowers.

Another key difference is the form. Orchid food is designed to be used in very dilute solutions, often sprayed on the roots and foliage or used as a weak soak. This mimics the way orchids get nutrients in their natural habitat: from rainwater washing over their roots. Regular houseplant fertilizer is usually more concentrated and can burn those delicate orchid roots.

Orchid food also contains micronutrients particularly beneficial for orchids, like calcium and magnesium, essential for strong growth and vibrant blooms. It's about giving them precisely what they need, in a form they can easily absorb, to keep them healthy and blooming their best. Think of it as tailoring their meal to their unique needs.                https://youtu.be/1gXeH9KlDbc
