As orchids can flower at any time of the year, it is not always clear when one should use a fertiliser for growing or one for flowering. This problem can be solved by using a well balanced fertiliser year round.
Following an article published in the American journal Orchids (June 2003) regarding the development of a new well balanced orchid fertiliser, the so-called 'MSU fertiliser' of the Michigan State University, we have together with a few selected orchid amateurs redone the tests over a two year period and this with results beyond expectation. This well balanced orchid fertiliser which we offer you today is the result of more than ten years of research. This fertiliser in powder form has been especially developed for use with rainwater, RO water or soft city water.
RAIN MIX® is based on the following principles:
All the nitric nitrogen in this fertiliser is directly absorbed by the plant. This fertiliser does not contain any Urea ( a cheap nitrogen source) that requires high temperatures in order to be absorbed by the plant, resulting in a premature breakdown of the substrate due to micro-organisms
RAIN MIX® also contains Calcium and Magnesium, necessary for the cell production, it can feed both roots and leaves
A low phosphorus 'P' content. The study has shown that a high phosphorus content is not necessary for better flower production in orchids
All necessary trace elements are present: Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Mo and Co.
Recommended dose ( ½ gram per liter) in each watering. Includes a 1 gram dispenser (for 2 litres of water).
Rain Mix® 400gr Care & Tips
We take care of the packaging!
With specially designed boxes, we ensure that the plants will reach you intact, no matter what they encounter on the way!
All plants in 3L pots or larger are placed in individual boxes that secure the plant at the base of the pot, preventing it from tipping over.
The cardboard used for the boxes is specially made to provide resistance to potential impacts during transport.
