ONGOING PLANT CARE
- A balanced fertiliser was added at manufacture but additional fertiliser may be required in time, depending on plant needs.
- Feeding is critical to flowering because without sufficient food, the plant’s bulbs will not grow large enough to flower in the following year.
- The easiest way to feed your Orchids is by topping up with controlled-release fertiliser when required. For even better results, you can supplement with a soluble fertiliser during the warmer months.
- Plants should be divided and re-potted with new potting mix when they outgrow the pot or after 24 months.
