Biohumus for orchids is a liquid organic fertilizer. Intended for use in the cultivation of orchids, such as Phalaenopsis, Cymbidium, Dendrobium and Cattleya. It can also be used to fertilize all other flowering plants. Biohumus for orchids is made of natural ingredients derived from vermicompost – a product of Californian earthworms.

Most orchids imported from tropical climates as ornamental plants are epiphytes – plants that grow on trees where the roots are spread loosely on tree branches without contact with the ground. This is why some home-grown orchids (Phalaenopsis) grow in a special substrate made of bark. Biohumus for orchids works in a very gentle way, so there is no risk of damaging the very sensitive orchid roots. Biohumus for orchids has optimally developed doses of nutrients that will not cause over-fertilization of plants. Due to the potassium content in the amounts required by the plants, the plants bloom intensively and the flowers stay on the plant for a long time. In addition, potassium keeps the leaves and flowers firm and the shoots strong.

Measure 60-120 ml (2-4 caps) of the fertilizer and then dilute it in 1 liter of water. During the period of intensive growth and flowering, fertilize plants once a week. During the rest of the growing season, the plants should be fertilized once every 2 weeks, because indoor plants need less nutrients during winter dormancy.

Orchids belonging to epiphytes, e.g. Phalenopsis, are watered with water with the addition of biohumus to orchids in a specific way. Traditional pot watering, as in the case of other plants, will not work in this case. We can take the orchid out of the casing and immerse it in a vessel with water and biohumus for orchids or pour the prepared solution into the casing in which we placed the orchid. The water should reach to the ground level so as not to submerge the leaves and their bases. We leave the orchid for 15-20 minutes, until it is drunk and absorbs valuable nutrients from the vermicompost to the orchids. After this time, remove the orchid from the water and wait a moment for the excess water to drain away. The ingredients contained in vermicompost for orchids will also penetrate the structure of the substrate used for orchids, thanks to which the plant will also be able to nourish itself at a later time.
