GT Orchid Care Pack

Originally created on commission for the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens, home to the world renowned annual Kew Orchid Festival in London's Princess of Wales Conservatory.

GT Orchid Focus GROW meets the unique needs of orchids when not in flower, and GT Orchid Focus BLOOM meets their very different needs during flowering. Together you have your orchids nutritional essentials covered for the year.

Make it a gift

These two together made the perfect gift for an orchid-loving loved one. Even better? Pick up an orchid in bloom from your local supermarket or garden centre to complete the gift.

So much better than a bunch of flowers. Similar price to a bouquet but instead of just one or two weeks of flowers, a typical living orchid in bloom will flower for MONTHS. Then with the help of this GT orchid care duo, it will live to flower again, year-after-year. 

What's in GT Orchid Focus?

All 12 essential nutrients orchids need, and nothing they don't. Low-salt formulas with no urea, chlorides or sodium, guaranteed. Safe for salt-sensitive orchids.

pH balanced to emulate an orchid's natural, slightly-acidic habitat. High in calcium to help avoid bud blast where buds form but fail to flower and support bigger blooms that flower for longer. 

Why 2 formulas?

Orchids need the same 12 essential minerals, but the amounts required change dramatically depending on the lifecycle phase. The biggest nutritional variation is between nutrient requirements to grow foliage, versus the reproductive state when flowering.  

The GROW foliage formula support root and leaf growth. Leaves are vital for photosynthesis to build up enough fuel to power next season's flowers. The shift to a BLOOM formula helps send the signal to shift focus to flowering, supporting the energy orchids need to flower.

During flowering from buds forming to the last flower the drop in nitrogen is one key difference, along with phosphorus, potassium, calcium levels and more all different also. 

When to change from BLOOM to GROW

If you don't know your plant's usual cycle from the grower or last season's growth, you can shift from GROW to BLOOM at first sight of a new flower spike or when bud start to form. It's best to know your plant's cycle and shift to bloom before the first season's spike appears. Continue feeding BLOOM until flowering finishes, then shift to GROW.
