An orchid spends most of the year not flowering, and that is when the next flush of blooms is actually decided: new leaves, new roots, a fatter pseudobulb. Orchid Focus Grow is Growth Technology's vegetative-stage orchid nutrient, balanced for all orchids between spikes with higher nitrate-nitrogen and calcium than the Bloom formula and no urea at all, because urea has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids. It is pH buffered for tap water, works in bark, sphagnum, LECA and semi-hydro, and is used at 5ml per litre at every watering. Switch to Orchid Focus Bloom when a spike appears. Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.

Two-bottle system. Use Orchid Focus Grow between flowerings and switch to Orchid Focus Bloom once a spike shows. If you would rather run one bottle year-round, Orchid Focus is the single-formula option.
Balanced for the growth phaseNitrate-nitrogen 2.4% and calcium 2.0% w/v, the two minerals orchids draw hardest on while building leaves, roots and pseudobulbs between spikes.
Zero ureaUrea has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids and it accumulates in bark and inert media. Every gram of nitrogen here is nitrate, ready for the roots to take up straight away.
All 12 essential mineralsA complete feed, not a tonic. Calcium, magnesium, sulfur and six chelated trace elements come in the same bottle, so nothing is missing from a bark mix that supplies almost nothing itself.
One rate, every watering5ml per litre, every time you water. No alternating schedule to remember, and a once-a-month 8ml boost when you want extra vigour.
pH buffered for tap waterMixed at the recommended rate it sits where orchid roots want it with most tap water. No pH adjusting.
Bark, sphagnum, LECA or semi-hydroFormulated for hydroponics and soil, which covers every way people actually grow orchids in Australia.

Grower's Tip

  • Water first if the bark is bone dry, then feed. Dry roots take up nutrient unevenly; damp roots take it up as intended.
  • Switch to Orchid Focus Bloom the day you notice a spike forming. Staying on Grow through flowering is the most common reason a spike stalls.
  • Give the once-a-month 8ml per litre boost when the plant is actively pushing new leaves or roots, not when it is sulking.
  • Flush with plain water once a month if you are not already watering to runoff. Bark holds salts.
  • Mix fresh every fortnight. A pre-mixed solution is good for about 1–2 weeks.
  • Store the bottle cool and dark. Shake before each 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 for a boost.
2Add the concentrate to the water and mix. Tap water is fine in most Australian homes; no pH adjustment is needed.
3Water the orchid thoroughly so the solution runs through the bark or media and out the drainage holes. For semi-hydro, refill the reservoir.
4Repeat at every watering while the plant is between flowerings.
5Flush with plain water once a month to clear mineral salts from the bark.
6When a flower spike appears, change over to Orchid Focus Bloom and keep the same 5ml per litre rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Orchid Focus Grow safe for Phalaenopsis?

Yes. It is balanced for all orchid types in their growth phase and contains no urea, which has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids.

When do I switch from Grow to Bloom?

When a flower spike appears. Use Grow between flowerings to build leaves and roots, then move to Orchid Focus Bloom for the spike and the flowers.

Can I use it at every watering?

Yes. Growth Technology's direction is 5ml per litre at every watering, with a plain-water flush once a month.

Does it contain urea?

No. Orchid Focus Grow is guaranteed free of urea, chlorides and sodium. Its nitrogen is supplied as nitrate.

Do I need to adjust pH?

No, not with most tap water. The formula is pH buffered.

What is the monthly boost?

Once a month, mix at 8ml per litre instead of 5ml. Growth Technology recommends it for extra vibrancy and vigour during active growth.

Will it work in bark, sphagnum and LECA?

Yes. It is formulated for both hydroponics and soil, which covers bark, moss, LECA and semi-hydro setups.

What is the difference between Orchid Focus Grow and Orchid Focus?

Orchid Focus Grow is tuned for the vegetative phase with higher nitrate-nitrogen and calcium. Orchid Focus is the single-bottle formula for people who do not want to switch products through the year.

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.
