Orchid Fertiliser – 1 litre

Phytesia’s specialist liquid fertiliser, formulated specifically for hardy garden orchids. A 1-litre bottle provides a season’s feeding for an established orchid collection.

Standard garden fertilisers are high in nitrogen and phosphorus — they push leafy growth at the expense of flowering and can damage the delicate root systems of terrestrial orchids. Phytesia’s formula is balanced for the low-nutrient conditions most hardy orchids prefer in the wild.

Dilute and apply as a liquid feed during the growing season (April to August). Avoid feeding during winter dormancy. Suitable for all Phytesia genera: Cypripedium, Bletilla, Dactylorhiza, Epipactis, Pleione, Spiranthes and Calanthe.

Since 2010, Phytesia has bred and sold hardy orchids across Europe using in vitro cultivation techniques that produce robust, disease-free plants. Their accessories range is developed alongside the plants to ensure compatibility.
