Professional Orchid Fertilizer 20-20-20 Balanced 100% Water Soluble with Trace Elements
If you love orchids and want to know how to make your orchid healthy, purchasing orchid fertilizer is a must. You should provide feedings of high-quality orchid fertilizer regularly throughout the year. Orchid fertilizer provides essential macro elements, which are the major nutrients that your orchids need for healthy growth and amazing blooms: nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Farmtek professional grade soluble NPK orchid fertilizers are suitable for commercial and hobbyist orchid growers. NPK stands for Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). These are the three main ingredients that make up all plant food. Orchid fertilizers 20-20-20 and 30-10-10 orchid fertilizer ratio are suggested by various Professional Orchid Care Communities: Brooklyn Orchids American Orchid Society Orchid Plant Care Different to some other granular NPK orchid fertilizers, ours come in powder form, compact and with the highest concentration ratio, and is the most economical form of fertilizer. It is 100% water soluble, and ready for immediate uptake by orchids.Product Properties
100% water soluble, suitable for drip irrigation, foliage spray, hydroponics solution, and liquid fertilizer. Nitrogen (N) 20 : Phosphorus (P) 20 : Potassium (K) 20 Trace Elements: Nitrate Nitrogen (≥6%), Fe (0.1%), Zinc (0.05%), Mn (0.05%), Mo (0.01%), B (0.05%), TE (0.25-1) Nitrogen (N) is important for producing chlorophyll, which allows plants to turn sunlight into food. It is the most important nutrient for plant growth. Without nitrogen, plants cannot make chlorophyll, the green pigment that makes photosynthesis possible. Chlorophyll enables plants to produce carbohydrates and proteins needed for plant growth. Phosphorus (P) encourages the growth and strength of stems, flowers, and roots. Phosphorus is critical to photosynthesis because it works with nitrogen to create proteins and enzymes that help the plant make energy from sunlight. The major function of phosphorus is to help a plant develop strong root systems and healthy leaves. Plants require more phosphorus than nitrogen or potassium because it is a structural component in plants. It also helps plants produce seeds and fruit while they are growing and maturing fruits, tubers and root crops. Potassium (K) is one of the three key nutrients that plants need to grow. It aids in supporting a plant’s metabolism by regulating the movement of water, nutrients and minerals throughout the plant tissue. The majority of foliage plants, including those in cacti and succulent collections, contain elevated levels of potassium. In fact, all fertilizers should have this element included in some form. It helps to improve plant growth and boosts the rate of photosynthesis through its effect on chlorophyll production. This fertilizer contains 20-20-20 NPK as a three-part combination fertilizer with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to promote the healthy growth of your orchids. NPK 30-10-10 is suggested if the growing medium is bark mix. The reason behind that is the consumption of nitrogen when the bark is being broken down. Thus, nitrogen is insufficient for orchids when growing in a bark mix.Suggested Usage
