Starke Ayres Growing Orchid Food is a specially formulated, concentrated fertiliser, blended to suit mineral requirements of the Orchid plant during the growth stage.

Growing Orchid Food contains a balanced proportion of nutrients often lacking in the traditional media in which orchids grow, and is water soluble and readily absorbed by the plant. It will provide the extra nutrients required at root tip appearance and during the active period of growth after winter, will stimulate the plant and boost vegetative growth for the new season and will encourage bulb building.

• Growing Orchid Food may be applied during normal watering to Cybidiums, Cattleyas and other types of orchids.
• Dissolve ½ to 1 teaspoon of food in 5 litres of water, stirring well.
• Any sediment should be ignored.
• Apply every seven to fourteen days.
• Flush thoroughly with plain water at least once a month to leach out any accumulated nutrients.
