How often do you feed orchids that are watered with 3 ice cubes a week after they finish blooming? These are my first orchids.

The directions on the box says to only feed the plant during blooming season. I am still using the ice cubes. It looks like the plant is getting ready to bud so I am going to start feeding it. Sparingly!

I use 1 part concentrate to 3 parts h2o with great success at the beginning of the season when the birds are nesting. We have had an incredible hatch rate and tons of hummers. Later in the season when there are abundant flowers, you can go 1 part to 4 h2o, but as the flowers decline and the weather cools I go back to the early season mix to help them get ready to migrate. This is the only concentrate I use as it is very good!

I use a smaller amount every two weeks. This is the first year I'm using this, but for now, the plants look good despite the strange bi-polar weather we've had.

I used 3 teaspoons full to 1 gallon of water. I water my 9 plants once a week. I did it for four weeks and it did work. We haven't seen any tiny flies in a while now. The plants were infested by a new plant I bought at the super market. I should have kept it apart from the others until I knew it was clean but I didn't. But the natrol WDG worked.

With orchids I would be super careful since they are a super sensative and delicate plants and these are essentially small rocks. I would say go with soil for most orchids. This is exactly 10 lbs. Yes it's round. And it's about a middle quality brand but that's because it's so cheap.

It will last for 4 months. I use 15 ml (1TBSP) per gallon of water per directions on the label. I use the gallon mixture for 6-8 plants and repeat every other day. The results have been nothing short of spectacular! My 7-12" starts are now up to 56" tall and covered with layers of flowers and baby fruit, 40 days after planting them in the ground and some in pots.

I bought three Hydrangea in the Fall. Gave one to my niece and kept two.None, NONE of the 3 made it through the Winter, which brings me to a question,does Amazon have a guarantee for the perennial purchases? Diane E Weigelt

As far as I know Orthene is a systemic, foliar spray. My instructions say to mix 2/3 of a teaspoon for each gallon of water and spray the plant. That is the mix that I use to spray my orchids, very early in the morning or late afternoon. I understand that it should be use outdoors only. You may want to check the manufacturer's site.

I always mix with water because it is absorbed faster into the plant. I apply every two weeks to my hydrangeas when they first start forming their blooms. Results? blooms the color of the sky!!!

I only use it feed seedlings or clones in the vegetation period and I mix it with plain water, sometimes I add a little bid of cal/mag. in the mix and I always add a ''Hygrozyme ''(or a mild NPK-1-1-1 nutrient), and remember you can only use Voodoo juice for about tree or four weeks only, okay!,I hope this information will help you?, thank you and happy growing! god bless you and good luck.

How long since you received the plant? Maybe provide the plant with some plant food. They also love the sun so maybe your plant isn't getting enough sunlight or too much? You could be potentially over watering or under watering it. I water my plant once a week and it has been growing beautifully.

Constantly, I started with a dozen last July, now I have hundreds. Just started a new tank just for them. They have almost 0 bio load, however they can be very sensitive to nitrates. If I don't do water changes twice a week I almost always lose a few. But these are my favorites!

I typically fill the reservoir once every week and a half or so. The plants seem to do fine this way, without overwatering. The diffusion of the water from a full reservoir over this time period seems to be just right, but this may be based on the plans you have in there.

I have been using on 8 plants every week and it has been over 3 months now. I just got 2 more plants, a month ago and I have enough in the bottle to last me couple more weeks at least.

I have used this orchids that get watered more frequently than cactus. It does not seem to completely dissolve in one or 2 waterings. I do seem to have results that last longer than the crumbles are evident on the surface. I hope this helps.

Yes, I use the miracle grow by putting the right amount to fed that Rose or plant. I like to use it about at least once a month. Keeps blooms coming and feeding and watering the roots you don't have the evaporation. I bought 2 years ago and I use these even during the heat of the day.

It says to start with three parts water to one part nectar early in the season and then later in the season increase water a bit. As season cools, go back to original three to one ratio. I can't really tell you how well it's working. There are only a few hummers around here. They like it and will come through the day every few minutes. Then for several days, something will spook them. I'll clean the feeder and re-fill etc. and eventually they return. I have never had the experience of hundreds of hummers, and I don't see them in our area.
