Fertilizer for orchids Fusco: instructions for use, methods, reviews

Fertilizer for orchids Fusco instructions (always included with the bottle) is an effective and inexpensive composition. It should be used according to the recommendations on the bottle, and as for the question of how appropriate it is to use fertilizers for indoor plants, there is only one answer: they are necessary for their full functioning.

The life of indoor plants is limited by the space of the pot, and no matter how nutritious the soil is, after some time the root system of a tree or flower depletes its resources. Transplantation in this case is only an auxiliary means, because the soil, in any case, is an artificial habitat, even though many flowers have long adapted to indoor existence. In order for them to develop harmoniously, they should be regularly fed with balanced compounds, thanks to which the land will remain suitable for their habitat for much longer.

If you wish, you can prepare fertilizers yourself, but this requires effort, time, and care. Everything turns out “by eye” - and it is far from a fact that an orchid at a certain point in its life will react positively to homemade feeding. Universal formulations contain all the substances necessary for house plants, collected in the correct proportion. This is what helps not to “overfeed” the flowers and, at the same time, contributes to their saturation.

Dosage of the product: for 1 liter use from 7 to 10 ml of fertilizer, which are placed in a bottle.

Flower growers advise taking a little less fertilizer than is written in the instructions, so as not to burn the roots.

It is allowed to fertilize the orchid no earlier than 2 weeks after transplanting to a new location. The intensity of nutrition depends on the season:

• April-October - once a week;
• November-February - once a month.

It is recommended to do feeding in the morning

• Fertilize only with elastic gloves.
• After completing the manipulations, wash your hands with soap and wash your face with running water.

Analogues of the drug

The writing is on the wall

Category “Fertilizers for orchids”.
The age-old question: “Which fertilizer is better”? A little analysis from flower growers living on the vast expanses of the Internet:

Many orchids are fed throughout the year, except for the dormant period, if any. But during different periods of orchid growth, the composition of the fertilizer should be different. Nitrogen: needed for vegetative growth, Phosphorus and potassium: help to lay flower buds and make the plant bloom more magnificently and beautifully. Based on this, you can feed with different fertilizers.

As you know, orchids are epiphytic plants, and their growing technique has its own significant characteristics. First of all, orchids grow on a completely unusual substrate - most often chopped pine bark with various additives (sphagnum moss, etc.). Naturally, some of the myctoelements of orchids are obtained from water (if you haven’t thought of watering them with distilled water). However, this is not enough for either growth or flowering.

If the target of fertilizer is a small plant, a young seedling, it needs to be fertilized weekly, as it develops very quickly. Gradually, the plant gains decent size, becomes an adult, and feeding can be given less frequently, but in the same quantity as before - once every two weeks (optimally).

Today you can find a huge number of fertilizers in stores - Russian, Dutch, French, Finnish, etc.

The list of fertilizers most commonly used for feeding orchids is as follows:

Kemira-Lux - fertilizer for ornamental flowering plants; Bona Forte - special fertilizer for orchids; Greenworld - special fertilizer for orchids; Pocon (Pokon) - special fertilizer for orchids (Holland); Uniflor "Rost" - fertilizer for decorative deciduous plants; Uniflor "Bud" is a fertilizer for ornamental flowering plants.

Less common fertilizers for orchids are:

Etisso (Germany); Substral (Holland); BioEkor (Poland); Schultz orchids; Ea for orchids (Japanese).

From Russian:

Ideal; Flower happiness; Fusco (discontinued).

Fusco, Flower Happiness and Pokon received the least positive reviews. Fusco and Flower Happiness did not meet the requirements for orchids; the plants grew leaves rather than bloomed. About Pocon, opinions were divided approximately equally - part of the audience believes that it is generally useless (the main reason is said to be a large number of fakes), and the rest, those who are satisfied, believe that the orchids bloomed very well. It is quite difficult to guess and buy a truly genuine drug, since, as you know, you can run into low-quality goods in decent shopping centers. It is believed that Pocon with a red cap is fake, and you need to buy a bottle with a yellow cap. Apparently, here you can only check - buy fertilizer in a reputable store and if the drug is suitable, do not try to buy it anywhere.

Kemira-lux - there are only positive reviews about it, not a single complaint about poor growth or flowering - this says a lot.

Similarly, there are positive reviews about Bona Forte and Greenworld. Only good reviews about fertilizers from Substral, Etisso and BioEkor.

Other Russian Uniflor fertilizers also left positive reviews.

Fertilizer “Ea” for orchids (the name correctly sounds like “e” - “alpha”) appeared on the market recently, has positive reviews, and in addition to microelements, it contains enzymes and vitamins.

The use of fertilizers from Ideal and the company Garden of Miracles raises doubts and disagreements.

NPK ratio:

Pocon for orchids - NPK 5+6+7 dose 5 ml. for 1 l. water; Kemira for flowering plants - NPK 16+20+27 dose for roots - 1/4 cap per 2 liters. water, dose for outside the root - 1/2 teaspoon per 5 liters. water; Bona Forte for orchids - NPK 4+2.5+6 dose 5ml. for 1.5 l. water; Substral Orchid Food for orchids - NPK 19+31+17 dose 1 ml. for 2 l. water; Schultz orchids - NPK 19+31+17 dose 1/2 teaspoon of powder per 3 liters. water; Greenworld for orchids - NPK 5-4-6 dose 1 ml. for 2 l. water; Bioekor for orchids - NPK 8+1.3+5 dose 1 cap per 1 liter. water; Etisso for flowering plants - NPK 3.8+7.6+7.5; Uniflor "Growth" - NPK 70+70+26 dose 1-2 drops per 1 liter. water; Uniflor "Bud" - NPK 47+88+32 dose 1-2 drops per 1 liter. water.

According to the percentage of NPK, the following are successful for good flowering of orchids:

Kemira - Luxury; Substral Orchid Food; Schultz orchids; Greenworld for orchids; Etisso for blooming; Uniflor "Bud". These fertilizers all contain microelements in their composition, and the proportions allow them to be used specifically to stimulate flowering.

This does not mean that other fertilizers are bad and not suitable at all - they only contain less phosphorus and more nitrogen - Uniflor "Rost" and Bioekor, for example. It’s just that these fertilizers are most suitable for use in the leaf growth phase - for young seedlings that do not need flowering yet until they have gained leaf mass, as well as in early spring or after flowering, but at the time of bud ripening they are less effective.

Composition and properties of Fasco

“Fasco” is not a type of fertilizer, but the name of a company that successfully produces plant fertilizers. For this reason, the composition and properties may vary depending on the type of drug. However, most varieties of Fasco products are complex mineral fertilizers, which can contain more than 10 different components necessary at different stages of a plant’s life. The most popular universal fertilizer “Flower Happiness” contains:

1. Nitrogen.
2. Potassium.
3. Phosphorus.
4. Manganese.
5. Seru.
6. Iron.
7. Cobalt.
8. Molybdenum.
9. Copper.
10. Zinc.
11. Bor.

A rich assortment of fertilizers and the presence of quality certificates for all of them makes Fasco products popular among domestic flower growers for 20 years. Complex fertilizers have a perfectly calibrated composition that suits both fastidious flowers and easy-to-care green pets equally well. The product penetrates the soil as quickly as possible, increases the immunity and decorative properties of plants.

Its properties also depend on the composition of the chosen drug. Some saturate the soil with nitrogen, which is necessary for growing green mass, others help speed up the budding period and extend the flowering period.

Fertilizers from "Fasco" make caring for pets as simple and easy as possible, even for a novice gardener. They not only strengthen the root system of the plant, but also extend the flowering period, which means they allow you to enjoy the results of your work for the longest possible period of time.

When choosing fertilizer, it is important to focus on the composition of the soil.

Types of Fusco and their features

There are many different types of fertilizers from the Fasco brand. They are divided according to their qualitative composition, form of implementation and purpose. Some are used strictly for indoor flowers, others for vegetable crops. The former are also divided according to the form of release. So, there are liquid and dry preparations. "Fasco" can be found in the form of tablets, capsules and even sticks that you can dilute yourself. Many gardeners choose ready-made liquid fertilizers, which are more convenient to use.

In total, there are about 200 different preparations from “Fasco” that help to grow beautiful and healthy plants without effort. Each gardener independently chooses the type of feeding, depending on his preferences and the type of pet he is raising. Thus, fans of orchids and other especially whimsical flowers opt for specialized fertilizers for a specific flower. Others prefer universal means.
