Fertilizer Usage Guide for Orchids
How to Use Orchid Fertilizers
Follow these steps to measure and mix fertilizers correctly for healthy orchids. Always use clean tools and fresh water.
1. Gather Your Tools
Measuring spoon or syringe (ml/cc)
Clean mixing container
Fresh water (rainwater, RO, or low-mineral tap water)
2. Dilution Basics
Most orchid fertilizers are labeled for heavy-feeding crops, so always start with ½ the recommended label dose unless otherwise noted.
3. Measuring by Type
Liquid Fertilizer: Use ml/cc for precise measurement.
Powder Fertilizer: Weigh in grams for accuracy, or use the spoon measurement provided on the label.
4. Mixing
Dissolve the fertilizer fully before applying to plants.
For foliar feeding, use a fine mist sprayer.
For root feeding, water orchids first, then apply fertilizer solution.
5. Application Frequency
Active Growth: Every 7–10 days
Rest Period: Reduce to once a month or suspend feeding, depending on species
Sphagnum moss serves as a versatile growth medium for various orchid species and other epiphytic plants such as hoyas, climbing green plants, insectivorous plants, and various cuttings. It not only fulfills a practical role but also enhances aesthetics and decor.
Unlike conifer bark or hydroton ceramic granules, sphagnum moss excels in retaining water, making it particularly valuable for indoor cultivation where strong air movement can rapidly dehydrate other substrates. It maintains an optimal moisture level without suffocating plants or causing water stagnation, thanks to its superior water-retention capacity within its cellular structure.
Our sphagnum moss is available in 4oz packs, though the actual weight may vary slightly due to water evaporation (which does not affect its quality).
Please note that the term "unprocessed" signifies that the product is sold in its natural, unaltered state without technological processing. It may contain natural impurities like twigs, leaves, or other plant remnants, as well as occasional spontaneous flora and fauna.
