Advice ChrisM 09-September-2023 Have you noticed the price comparisons of most popular orchid products on this website. Unless you have money to burn, they may perhaps be useful to look at.
Advice ChrisM 09-September-2023 DID YOU KNOW - Many experienced orchid growers recommend using Krista MKP Soluble (or equivalents) for winter food for orchids since it contains no Nitrogen (for growth) but high Potassium (for flowers).
Advice ChrisM 09-September-2023 DID YOU KNOW - Most experienced orchid growers recommend using Diamond Blue (Campbells) + Nitrocal Calcium Nitrate (Campbells) - or equivalents - for summer food for orchids.
Advice ChrisM 09-September-2023 DID YOU KNOW - Normal Snail and Slug pellets only last a few days on orchids - you need water resistant snail bait like SlugOut from Nufarm - or equivalents - they last for many weeks.
Advice ChrisM 09-September-2023 DID YOU KNOW - If orchid bark becomes too dry, they never fully recover their ability to retain water - even if you soak them for extensive periods.
Advice BillS 23-July-2023 The comparison tables are really informative - thanks. It is interesting to note that the cheapest fertiliser from Bunnings is 2.75 times more expensive than Diamond Blue for nearly equivalent nutritional values.
