Miracle Gro 8oz Orchid Food

Miracle-Gro® Water-Soluble Orchid Food is targeted at orchid lovers who desire to get professional-quality results at home. This product keeps orchids in all developmental stages of their growth, including dense root formation, lush foliage, and bountiful blooming, by having a very specific nutrient mix and an easy-to-use application method. 

Nutrition for Orchids

The fruit has a balanced combination that satisfies the special requirements of orchids and acid-loving plants. Its NPK ratio, 30-10-10, is critical to enhancing the general health and appearance of the plant.

• Nitrogen (30%): Nourishes the growth of deep, green leaves, which are the source of energy to the plant. Flower production is based on strong foliage.
• Phosphorus (10%): Promotes flower set and flower strength, so that orchids will yield bright and durable flowers.
• Potassium (10%): Develops good root systems that can take in water and nutrients effectively. Proper root structure is essential for the long-term survival of the plant.

Feeding

Orchids experience cycles of growth and rest. Miracle-Gro® Orchid Food adapts perfectly to these natural rhythms.

During Active Growth

During periods of orchid growth of new leaves, roots, or flower spikes, constant feeding is needed.

• Apply every 2 weeks.
• Provides constant support for active plant metabolism.
• Encourages stronger, longer-lasting flower production.

During Rest Periods

Orchids usually pass into a resting period following flowering. During this time, the plant retards its growth and is light fed.

• Feed once every 4 weeks.
• Maintains plant health without over-fertilizing.
• Gets the orchid ready for its next cycle of growth.

Applications

Ease of use is one of the most valued advantages of the product. Miracle-Gro® Orchid Food makes it easier to care for your plants, whether they are indoors or out, by giving predictable and measurable outcomes.

• Indoor

Miracle-Gro® suggests the combination of 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water with orchids and other acid-loving indoor plants. In the active growth period, it is recommended to feed every two weeks, and in the dormant period, it is once a month.

To eliminate root rot, gardeners are advised to water in the morning and allow the water to drain out of the potting medium. Do not spray the solution on the leaves, but spray at the base and root zone.

• Outdoor

Under outdoor conditions, the dosage is modified to 1 tablespoonful per gallon of water, which is applied every two weeks. This allows it to be used with other acid-loving ornamentals, and not only orchids.

Safety

It is necessary to responsibly use fertilizer so as not to overfeed it and cause harm to the plants. Miracle-Gro gives clear instructions to follow to achieve safe use.

• Apply Label Instructions: Sticking to the recommended ratios helps avoid fertilizer burn.
• Apply to Roots Only: Feeding is to be applied to the potting mix in order not to damage the foliage.
• Correct storage: Store the product in a cool, dry area and keep it sealed.
• Wash Hands After Use: Washing hands after use is basic hygiene to provide safe handling for gardeners.
