Vitax Orchid Feed is an ideal solution for orchid enthusiasts looking to encourage robust growth and vibrant, long-lasting blooms in their collection. This soluble fertiliser is specifically formulated to provide the precise balance of essential nutrients required for the unique lifecycle of orchids.

This is a sign of fertilizer burn. Flush the potting medium with plain water and reduce the concentration of the feed in your next application.
To prepare the feed, mix the recommended dosage into clean, room-temperature water. Ensure the powder is fully dissolved before applying it to your plants. This product is compatible with all standard orchid potting media, including pine bark, moss, and coconut husk. Always store the container in a cool, dark, and dry location to maintain the integrity of the formula. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent moisture from entering the packaging and causing the powder to clump.
