Orchid Food - Feed ME! MSU Orchid Fertilizer for RO/Rain/Tap Water (8 oz)

Ordered once directly and my plants seem to be doing well. Ordered from Amazon for more for the prime free shipping

This stuff is fantastic for orchids. I’ve been using it for 5 years. Each jar lasts about 2 years. My orchid plant is healthy and has grown to about 5 times the size in 5 years. Here’s how I use it. I put the suggested amount of fertilizer and water into a closed pot (with no drainage holes), then I drop my orchid pot into the closed pot for 15 minutes (once a week). I always set a timer because it’s easy to forget about it and orchids are very sensitive to root rot if you leave it in the water too long. This is very important!!!!!!!!! Since using it, I’ve gotten a couple of enormous stems of big healthy flowers year, which last about 4-6 weeks. The two stems come up about 2 months apart. Even when cut and put into a vase these flowers will last about 4 weeks. Be careful not to mistake the stems from aerial roots. I stake them to hold them up.

This is the second jar of food that I’ve bought. I actually have six orchids that I put in a sink full of tepid water with a teaspoon of orchid food once a week for 15 minutes. They usually re-bloom twice a year! So easy to use and my orchids are so healthy! I also purchased rePot me orchid medium for planting them. Great products.

My wife has 4 orchids that appear to like this plant food. I can’t tell you how they would do without it but they do well with it.

This fertilizer is fine for the most part. However, I did follow the instructions, and quite a few roots have been burned on different plants. It may be best to use a little less than instructed.

I bought this because I buy the dead and dying orchids from Lowe's. It has revived all of them and they are profusely blooming. It has easy to follow instructions for year round orchid care. Plus it wasn't formulated buy a large conglomerate. I re-use my 1 gallon water container to mix up the food. Works great and has no smell at all

I originally purchased this on recommendation from a YouTube orchid grower. After about a year and a half of use, I suddenly have multiple flower spikes on several of my orchids! One plant even has two splits and one coming off of an old spike too. )That's like 5 spikes on one plant! This makes an amazing difference. Like many other reviews here, my granules also changed color. I had them in my pantry, which I thought was pretty dry, but on my second use I found they had turned whitish and clumped. (Surprisingly, the diluted mixture still turns slightly blue.) It did not have the mold odor that others mentioned, so I have continued to use it with no problems. - I have since found that placing it in the fridge keeps it dry, but I also minimize the time it is out of the fridge so it doesn't pick up condensation. It takes very little... Although distilled is best, I use one teaspoon per gallon of Brita/tap water (this is one of few fertilizers made for RO/rain AND tap water), for every watering, and double it once or twice during the growing season. Update: This little jar has lasted me about 2 years (about one dozen orchids) and I am back to buy the larger jar. In addition to the other praises, I thank this fertilizer for giving me a couple keikis from very healthy plants too. Love it!

I always bought this product from rePotme, but they require a $99. for free shipping. It was good to be able to get free shipping by adding other needed items from Amazon. I have been using this fertilizer for my orchids for several years.
