How to Use
Don’t forget to pot top! Adding Hydroleca as a pot topper will provide a decorative appearance, help to minimise over watering and discourage attraction of pests.
Feeding
- During the growing and flowering season, feed your plants with Westland Orchid Feed
- Feed every second watering in the active growing season (spring/summer) and every fourth watering in the winter
Watering
- Orchid roots will rot easily if they are kept in wet conditions. It is therefore essential to water sparingly, ideally once a week.
- Westland Orchid Water is a great option to feed and water orchid plants. Just 2 capfuls a week will help keep orchid plants healthy and flowering for longer
- Orchids prefer high air humidity. Applying Westland Orchid Mist spray 1-2 times a week to the aerial roots and foliage will help replicate the plants natural growing environment
Tips for Better Results
- Orchids need bright but filtered light so it’s best to avoid placing them in direct sunlight
- Different species of orchid require different temperatures, so choose a suitable room in the house depending on the type of orchid you are growing
- Most orchids require a rest period during winter when watering and feeding should be reduced
General Advice
- Use in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing in dust
- Always wear gloves when gardening and wash hands after use
- Not suitable for Ericaceous (lime hating) plants
- Store in a dry, frost free place away from weed killers and other garden chemicals
- Reseal bag after use
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I use this for my other houseplants?
A. We would recommend using a specific houseplant compost as other plants may not benefit from the free draining, open structure.
Q. When should I re-pot my orchids?
A. We would recommend checking the re-potting advice for type of orchid you have. Most will benefit from re-potting when the media has broken down or they have outgrown the pot, this is best done after flowering has stopped.
