Pairs well with
If you have one orchid on the kitchen bench and no interest in swapping bottles when it spikes, this is the one. Orchid Focus is Growth Technology's single-formula orchid nutrient, built to meet the needs of most orchids through both growth and flowering. Its nitrogen is supplied 100% as nitrate, it is entirely free from urea (which has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids), it carries all 12 essential minerals with chelated trace elements, and it is pH buffered for tap water. Use it at 5ml per litre at every watering in bark, moss, LECA or semi-hydro. Growers chasing maximum flowering can step up to the two-bottle Grow and Bloom system; everyone else can stop here. Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.
Specifications
Grower's Tip
- Feed at every watering at 5ml per litre and leave the rate alone. Consistency does more for an orchid than clever timing.
- Water to runoff so salts leave the pot, and flush with plain water once a month if you are not already doing that.
- Use the 8ml per litre boost once a month during active growth, not while the plant is stressed or freshly repotted.
- Mix fresh each fortnight. A pre-mixed solution keeps for about 1–2 weeks.
- If a particular plant is a reluctant flowerer, that is the moment to try the Grow and Bloom pair rather than pushing more of this bottle.
- Store cool and dark, shake before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Orchid Focus all year round?
Yes. It is Growth Technology's single-formula orchid nutrient, balanced for most orchids through both growth and flowering.
Does it contain urea?
No. Orchid Focus is entirely free from urea, which has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids, and its nitrogen is supplied 100% as nitrate.
Is it suitable for Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium and Cymbidium?
Yes. It is formulated to meet the needs of most orchids. Growth Technology does not list exclusions.
How much do I use and how often?
5ml per litre of water at every watering, with an optional 8ml per litre boost once a month. Flush with plain water monthly.
Do I need to adjust the pH?
No, not with most tap water. The formula is pH buffered.
What is the difference between Orchid Focus and the Grow and Bloom pair?
Orchid Focus is one balanced formula for the whole year. Orchid Focus Grow and Orchid Focus Bloom are stage-specific: Grow carries more nitrate-nitrogen and calcium for the vegetative phase, Bloom carries more potassium for plants in spike.
Will it work in LECA and semi-hydro?
Yes. It is formulated for both hydroponics and soil, so bark, sphagnum, LECA and semi-hydro are all covered.
Does it have a smell?
No. Like the rest of the Focus range it is completely odourless.
