The spike is up. What the orchid wants now is different from what it wanted a month ago: less push on leaves, more potassium to carry buds through to open flowers and hold them. Orchid Focus Bloom is Growth Technology's formula for all orchid types in spike, with potassium lifted to 2.4% w/v, nitrogen eased back, a complete mineral and trace-element profile, and no urea, chlorides or sodium. It is pH buffered for tap water and used at 5ml per litre at every watering, in bark, moss, LECA or semi-hydro. Once the last flower drops, go back to Orchid Focus Grow. Available in 250ml, 1L, 5L and 20L.

Two-bottle system. Orchid Focus Bloom is for plants in spike. Between flowerings use Orchid Focus Grow. For a single year-round bottle, use Orchid Focus.
Extra potassium for the spikePotassium 2.4% w/v, the highest in the orchid range, with nitrogen eased back to 1.8%. That is the balance Growth Technology set for vigorous and prolific flowering.
Zero ureaUrea has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids. Bloom supplies nitrogen as nitrate only, so there is nothing to break down and nothing to build up in the bark.
Complete, not a bloom tonicAll 12 essential minerals including calcium, magnesium and six chelated trace elements. The plant keeps its leaves and roots healthy while it flowers.
Same rate as Grow5ml per litre at every watering, so changing over is a swap of bottle, not a change of routine. An 8ml monthly boost is optional.
pH buffered for tap waterMixed at the recommended rate it sits in range with most Australian tap water. No pH pen required.
Bark, sphagnum, LECA or semi-hydroFormulated for hydroponics and soil, so it suits every common orchid setup.

Grower's Tip
  • Change over to Bloom as soon as the spike is visible, not when the first bud opens. The buds are being built now.
  • Keep the 5ml per litre rate steady through flowering. Pushing more nutrient at an orchid in bloom shortens the display rather than extending it.
  • Water to runoff. Bark holds salts, and flowering orchids are sensitive to a salty root zone.
  • Flush with plain water once a month, and mix a fresh batch each fortnight; a pre-mixed solution is good for about 1–2 weeks.
  • When the last flower drops, cut the spent spike as you normally would and switch back to Orchid Focus Grow for the rebuild.
  • Store cool and dark, shake before use.

How To Use It
1Shake the bottle and measure 5ml of concentrate per litre of water. The optional monthly boost is 8ml per litre.
2Add the concentrate to the water and mix. Tap water is fine; no pH adjustment is needed.
3Water the orchid until the solution runs through the bark and out the drainage holes, or refill the semi-hydro reservoir.
4Repeat at every watering for as long as the plant is in spike and in flower.
5Flush with plain water once a month.
6After the final flower drops, switch to Orchid Focus Grow at the same 5ml per litre rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I start using Orchid Focus Bloom?

As soon as a flower spike appears. Use it at every watering until the last flower drops, then switch back to Orchid Focus Grow.

Is it safe for Phalaenopsis and other common orchids?

Yes. It is balanced for all orchid types in spike and contains no urea, chlorides or sodium.

Can I use Orchid Focus Bloom all year?

No, it is not designed for that. It is the flowering half of a two-bottle system. For a single year-round formula, use Orchid Focus.

Does it contain urea?

No. Nitrogen is supplied as nitrate only. Urea has been shown to be toxic to certain orchids.

Do I need to adjust the pH?

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

How much do I use?

5ml per litre of water at every watering, with an optional 8ml per litre boost once a month. Flush with plain water monthly.

Will it make my orchid flower?

No fertiliser can force a spike on its own; light, temperature and the plant's maturity decide that. What Bloom does is supply the extra potassium and complete minerals the plant needs once a spike has started, for vigorous and prolific flowering.

Does it work in semi-hydro and LECA?

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

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.
