Michigan State University Fertilizer
I was at the S.B. Orchid Show last week, and a vendor mentioned the MSU
Orchid Fertilizer, saying that it works wonders. Does anyone have any info on this? Resources on where I can order it? I did a Google search, but didn't find anything too specific. Thanks. |

I have been using it for about 5 months, I am not sure I see anything specific
yet although I am happy with the way my orchids are looking. You can order at: http://www.galaxyorchids.com/1.html Good luck. |

I've been using the "Pure Water" version for just about a year now, and am
quite impressed with my plants' response to it. Generally, I see better and more blossoms, and some plants that were totally dormant for over two years (after severe sunburns), started growing again after I switched. I now have both the "Pure Water" and "Well Water" versions in house, but am awaiting packaging before I put them on the list - I'm betting on them being available next weekend, if I'm lucky. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

I just got the Pure Water version from Roberts Flowers which I'm hoping
will work fine with dehumidifier water, since I don't have RO. Christopher Nunez wrote: I was at the S.B.

There are two versions of the Fertilizer. One for use with RO water
and one for use with well water. They are essentiall for water with nothing in it or water that has some amout of existing chemicals in it. Last fall on behalf of our orchid club I ordered a 25 pound bag of each version, split it up into 1/2 pound packages and put it in fancy tins to hand out as a Christmas gift to each member who attended the December meeting. As part of the process, I copied the specifications sheets from the supplier and used the recent article about it from Orchids to add information about a couple of ingredients that were not listed on the manufacturers spec sheets. Since our club is in Canada, I also added information about teaspoons per imperial gallon as well as grams per imperial gallon. Finally, I added some notes I received in emails from Jan Szryen who wrote part of the Orchids article. Jan happened to be the speaker at our meeting last Sunday and she showed pictures of the results of using the fertilizer. If anyone was a non-believer before seeing the pictures, they would be converted after seeing them. They were spectacular. At any rate, I have put the MS/word document with all that information up on our club website at http://los.lon.imag.net/MiscFile.asp Enjoy!!

It ought to be fine, as there aren't a lot of dissolved minerals in
humidity! A quick comment - the stuff from Roberts isn't the exact match to the stuff they used at MSU, and neither is the Jack's Professional brand, but they all are close enough in formulation to the MSU stuff (Greencare) that one should have no hesitation using them. My first experience with it was the knock-off from Wayne, and I used it for about 6 months before switching to the GreenCare brand. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . .

Is there a way to get hold of a small quantity for overseas users so I can try? Ray - do you sell this stuff? Geir |
