Specialist orchid nutrition
A concentrated liquid fertiliser for orchids’ vegetative growth period, when they develop new leaves, roots and shoots. Suitable for Phalaenopsis during new growth, as well as Cymbidium, Dendrobium, Odontoglossum, Cambria, Brassia, Miltonia and other species. The specialist NPK 1.8–1.2–2.1 formula is made from pure mineral salts, enriched with concentrated organic plant acids and contains no urea.
What is Orchid Focus Grow?
Orchids are usually grown in very open media that hold limited quantities of nutrients. Orchid Focus Grow provides controlled, complete nutrition through watering, with a formula tailored to producing new leaves and shoots.
Made from pure, soluble mineral salts and enriched with concentrated organic plant acids. Includes nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and selected trace elements, giving balanced nutrition during vegetative growth.
The concentrated liquid form allows accurate dosing and even distribution in the solution. At the recommended dose, the 100 ml pack makes up to 40 litres of ready-to-use nutrient solution.
Why it stands out
Formulated for periods of vegetative growth, when the orchid produces new leaves and shoots and needs a steady supply of nutrients.
Made from pure mineral salts, contains chelated trace elements and no urea, which is unsuitable for sensitive orchid roots.
Just 5 ml is needed in 2 litres of water. The small 100 ml pack therefore makes up to 40 litres of solution at the standard dosage.
How to use
For suitable species at the appropriate growth stage, apply the solution every second watering throughout the year.
Use 5 ml Orchid Focus Grow, approximately one teaspoon, for every 2 litres of water.
Mix well into lukewarm water. For best results, use soft water or rainwater.
Wet the growing medium evenly and allow all excess solution to drain away. Do not leave the pot standing in water.
For Cymbidium, dissolve 20 ml in 2 litres of water. This higher dose applies only to Cymbidium; for other orchids, use 5 ml in 2 litres and always follow the pack label.
Grow or Bloom?
Orchid Focus Grow and Orchid Focus Bloom are not two strengths of the same fertiliser. They are targeted formulas for different needs. For Phalaenopsis, use Grow after flowering as new leaves and roots appear, then switch to Bloom as soon as a new flower spike forms. The same alternation follows the growth and flowering cycle of other orchids.
