Why has such a great long-available product been discontinued?

The company that produced the product went bankrupt.

The box says 7 drops, I certainly would not go over that as over feeding will kill violets. However I don't usually feed them every time I water as it says on the box, I may do it every other time. (I usually water once a week - in a timed manner, as in about 30 to 40 minutes, then take the water away, whereas some people water less). When the violets are blooming I feed more often, then than when they are not. I have had one violet blooming constantly for over a year (unusual for me) and still only feed it every other, or third time. I have heard that this was discontinued from the manufacturer, so while I still have some, I am branching into other violet foods. Is this discontinued or not?

Does it work for orchids?

We use it on our orchids and experience fantastic growth and blooming. I've struggled with orchids in the past until I started use it. I do water the orchids about half as often as my violets.

Can this be used in a self-watering pot -- the kind that's a pot within a pot? would i add to the water in the outer pot? if so, how much? thanks!

I read a blog about African violets that if you use a self watering, reservoir-type pot you dilute the fertilizer to 1/4 the recommended strength and put that in the reservoir to fertilize.
