Hoiyen Nutricote 18-6-8 180 Day Fertilizer, 2 Pounds, Orchids, Plants

First time I use slow release on my orchids decided I needed to go this route because I have over 120 plants I have about 80 orchids and feeding has become very time consuming even though for me it's therapeutic it can be rough when you work 12 hour shifts 4, to 5 days straight I used the 1/2 teaspoon dosing for most plants except for my in grounds that are bigger and I still have some left over I pray this doesn't burn my plants will follow up after a couple weeks see how they are doing I put the pellets in tea bags I purchase Amazon 200 for like $7 easy to just shove them in to whatever medium very easy to useso it's 6 months in no burns what so ever on any plant i lost some orchids this season cuz of the heavy heavy rains but all my others either have spikes or bloomed and leaves are all look soooooo healthy i have some orchids that were border line brink of death and have come back i just repurchased a bag round 2

Just as described. Plants and wallet are happy!

I’ve used a lot of fertilizers in my many years of gardening, but this one stands out. Flowers I’ve bought have gone flush with blooms after planting. My daylilies are putting on quite a show, and I’m pretty sure this stuff is the reason. Very pleased!

This product was recommended by a commercial orchid grower as an effective supplemental fertilizer. As an amateur grower I have no way of evaluating results of its use in the short term. As a top dressing it is simply convenient to use.

Update: My orchids and other plants are doing fantastic with this stuff. I would buy again. Old review: I got my 2 lbs. of fertilizer in a plain plastic bag, looked like it had been poured from a larger bag and sealed with a seal-a-meal. There was a label on the front that looked like it was printed on a mailing label then peeled off and slapped on the front. After a few days the print on the label/instructions faded and now can't be read, so I have to go back online and print out the instructions if I want to remember what the heck this is in 3 years or whatever. If it does wonders for my plants, I will revise my evaluation.

My orchid plants seem to produce more blooms and are healthier!

Daylily fertilizer

This fertilizer is great, though fairly expensive. It seems to be far gentler on plants than Osmocote as well. Unfortunately after buying it I learned that the coating is made out of non-biodegradable plastic. So that will be a bunch of extra work making sure it doesn't end up in the ground and it's baffling to me that plastic-coated fertilizer is even legal.
