Stimulating fertilizer drops for orchids - 40 ml ampoule

An orchid does not grow in soil. It grows in an inert medium - pine bark, sphagnum moss, leca - a medium whose sole purpose is to grip the roots and provide them with air. Unlike garden soil, this medium contains almost no nutrients.

The meaning is simple: whatever you don't provide to the orchid, it won't receive. An orchid that isn't fertilized doesn't "manage on its own" - it simply stops producing new leaves, the roots weaken, and most importantly: it stops producing new flower spikes. This is the exact explanation for an orchid that bloomed once in the store and has just been sitting there green ever since.

The manufacturer defines this product precisely as: a fertilizer developed for orchids growing in inert or neutral media, lacking nutrition, which require balanced and continuous fertilization.

If you compared it to other fertilizers and saw NPK 7-7-7 versus 0.5-0.5-0.5 - it is not a mistake and it is not a "weak fertilizer." That is exactly the point.

Orchids are damaged by concentrated fertilizer. This is the first rule in orchid growing, and it is repeated by every professional organization: the Missouri Botanical Garden writes that orchids "are damaged by high concentrations of fertilizer" and recommends diluting regular fertilizer to half or even a quarter of the dosage; the British RHS writes that "overfeeding can do more harm than good"; and the American Orchid Society summarizes this with the famous rule of thumb - "weakly, weekly": a weak dose, frequently.

The manufacturer itself defines the product as a nutritional supplement rather than a concentrated fertilizer - and this is an accurate definition.

One ampoule (40 ml) is designed for a pot with a 20-30 cm diameter.

• 1. Cutting: Cut the tip of the ampoule with scissors, along the line marked on the packaging
• 2. Insertion: Insert the ampoule into the medium diagonally, at a distance of 5-6 cm from the plant's stem
• 3. Watering: Water the plant immediately afterward

Suitable for fertilizing all types of potted orchids. Varieties explicitly mentioned by the manufacturer:

• 🌸 Phalaenopsis: "Butterfly Orchid" - the most common orchid in homes
• 🌷 Cattleya: Large and fragrant flowers
• 💛 Cymbidium: Blooms in winter, flowers are long-lasting
• 👞 Paphiopedilum: "Lady's Slipper," a flower with an inflated lip

Please note: This is a dedicated orchid fertilizer. For other houseplants, a general fertilizer is preferable.

Both methods are good - the question is how many orchids you have and how much you want to deal with it:

• 📌 The Ampoule (this product): Ready-made single dose, no measuring or mixing. Perfect for one or two orchids, for those who don't want to get involved, and for those who just want to try it out cheaply.
• 🧴 Orchid Fertilizer 300 ml: Bottle with a measuring cap that you dilute in water. More cost-effective in the long run and for an orchid collection, but requires measuring and dilution for every watering.

Many people start with the ampoule and move to the bottle when the collection grows. 🌸

• 💧 Not on a completely dry medium: Fertilize after watering or on a moist medium - fertilizer on a dry medium can burn roots
• 🌱 Crucial during the growing season: The orchid needs nutrition the most when it is producing a new leaf, a new root, or a flower spike
• 😴 Less in winter: Phalaenopsis continues to grow in winter and it is worth continuing to nourish, but at a lower rate
• 💦 Flush once a month: Fertilizers are salts that accumulate in the medium. Once a month, water with clean water only - this flushes out excess salts
• 🚫 Keep distance from the stem: 5-6 cm. Inserting right next to the plant can damage the roots
• 🪟 Fertilizer does not replace light: An orchid needs bright, filtered light. Without enough light, no fertilizer will produce blooms

• 👶 Children: Keep out of reach of children
• 🚫 Not for ingestion: The product is not intended for consumption
• 🍽️ Food: Keep away from food, drink, and edible items
• 📦 Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and clean place
• ✂️ Single-use: The ampoule is intended for one-time use - insert and leave until replacement
