Orchids

Orchids are hugely desirable indoor plants with exotic blooms and a vast array of colours and flower types to choose from.

Orchids should be planted in specialist Orchid Compost. Its structure is open to ensure healthy drainage and optimum aeration for healthy roots. It also contains the right balance of essential nutrients. Repot when plants have filled their current container. Only use a pot one or two sizes larger.  If you select a pot that is too large growth will suffer.

Feed during their growth period using Orchid Liquid Plant Food providing the correct nutrients for abundant blooms and longer lasting flowers.

Remember to keep your orchid plants shaded in hot sunny weather.
