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.

One bottle, all year. This is the simple option. If you want to push flowering harder, the two-bottle system is Orchid Focus Grow between spikes and Orchid Focus Bloom once a spike shows.
One formula, both stagesBalanced for most orchids through growth and flowering. No changeover, no second bottle, no wondering which one is in the cupboard.
100% nitrate nitrogen, zero ureaUrea has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids and lingers in bark. Orchid Focus supplies its nitrogen entirely as nitrate for strong, healthy growth over long periods.
All 12 essential mineralsCalcium 1.8% w/v plus magnesium, sulfur and six chelated trace elements. Bark supplies almost nothing on its own; this bottle fills the gap.
5ml per litre, every wateringOne rate for the whole year, with an optional 8ml monthly boost. The easiest orchid routine there is.
pH buffered for tap waterMixed at the recommended rate it sits in range with most Australian tap water. No pH adjusting.
Bark, sphagnum, LECA or semi-hydroFormulated for hydroponics and soil, which covers every common way to grow orchids at home.

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.

How To Use It

1Shake the bottle and measure 5ml of concentrate per litre of water. Once a month, use 8ml per litre instead as a boost.
2Add the concentrate to the water and mix. Tap water is fine for most households and no pH adjustment is needed.
3Water the orchid thoroughly until the solution runs through the bark or media, or refill the semi-hydro reservoir.
4Repeat at every watering, all year, whether the plant is in growth or in flower.
5Flush with plain water once a month to clear mineral salts from the bark.

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.

Welcome to The Grow Guys

We built The Grow Guys from the soil up — well, coco and perlite. Before we sold gear, we bought it, ran it, and learned the hard way what's worth the money and what ends up in the shed. That's the filter everything on our shelves passes through. No sales scripts, no rebadged junk, no telling you what you want to hear. Just gear we'd run ourselves and advice from people who actually grow. Chasing higher yields, tighter flowers, or your first harvest? You're in the right place.
