|
| 19-31-17 about 1/2 teaspoon per gallon, or 10 drops per liter
| 10-60-10 or 10-15-10, about 1 teaspoon per gallon, or 20 drops per liter
| 8-14-9 about 1.25 teaspoon per gallon, or 25 drops per liter
| 5-30-5 about 2 teaspoons per gallon, or 40 drops per liter

| Hello Ray!
|
|
| Regarding plant food for orchids, which one is better:
|
| I have : orchid plant food : 19-31-17
| Bloom booster : 10-60-10
|
| or Schultz all purpose: 10-15-10
| Schultz bloom 5-30-5
|
| or the schultz for african violet : 8-14-9
|
| All schultz products are used 7 drops in 1 liter of water every time
you
| water.
|
| I`ve been using the two firts one for a while and my phals are rooting
| like
| crazy! This is why I`m thinking switching fertilizer!
| What do you think?
