Does fertilizer expire?
I have a little jar of Schultz powdered orchid fertilizer, which I got
a year ago, & have used very little as I only have a few orchids. There's no expiry date on it; it says changes in colour & texture don't affect potency, & it has changed colour & got less powdery & a bit more clumpy since I got it... but I was wondering if this stuff keeps indefinitely or what? It will take me forever to use it all up -- I just don't have room for enough orchids to use much!  Alison |

It's probably just fine, having absorbed moisture only.
These are inorganic minerals, so they really don't change with time. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Artwork, Books and Lots of Free Info! wrote in message oups.com...
