Orchid Myst Spray 300ml

Product Information

The higher phosphorus levels will help support your orchid as it gears up for bloom production. It will allow your orchid to produce more plentiful, healthier blooms during the next blooming season. I would suggest using a 10-30-10 fertilizer, with the higher, middle number representing the phosphorous concentration in the fertilizer. When wiping down the orchid leaves, also make sure the cloth is not overly damp. You don’t want to leave residual wet streaks or water on the leaf. Overly wet leaves can end up with fungal infections. Fertilizer Burn When you mist your orchid, whether with plain water or with a diluted fertilizer, you are coating your orchid’s leaves and roots with a fine layer of moisture. If you don’t have adequate air circulation around your orchid, this can create an environment perfect for fungal and bacterial growth. Same if you mist your orchids in a high humidity setting without adequate airflow. When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of us.

However, just as misting an orchid is controversial, feeding orchids with a mist spray is also controversial due to the many risks involved. If you choose to feed your orchids using a mist spray, it goes without saying that you need to use an orchid-specific fertilizer to do this. During an orchid’s active growth phase, feed with a balanced 20-20-20 NPK orchid fertilizer. The growth phase is the period that occurs shortly after the orchid is done flowering and the last bloom has fallen off.

In addition, make sure you have good air circulation around your orchid at all times. This will help prevent any mold or fungus growth resulting from residual moisture on your orchid leaves.
