Application
Direct from the canister
Apply without dilution. Watering and foliar intervals are listed separately below.
-
Choose the application
Select the suitable watering or foliar route and its interval below.
-
Prepare the roots
Before a root application, lightly moisten the substrate with normal water suitable for the plant.
-
Prepare without dilution
Shake well before use. Pour the required ready-to-use solution into a clean watering or spraying vessel. Do not add dilution water.
-
Apply precisely
Feed carnivorous plants sparingly via the substrate; avoid traps and crowns. Treat epiphytes according to their separate leaf/root programme.
-
Drain and maintain
Allow excess solution to drain from pots. Continue normal watering according to the plant’s needs.
-
Follow the appropriate interval
Repeat according to the schedule below. Treat watering and spraying programmes as separate routes.
- Root application
- Carnivorous plants: during growth from April to September, apply sparingly every 3–4 weeks to substrate previously moistened with low-lime water. Pause during winter dormancy. Epiphytes: lightly moisten the substrate only occasionally, every 4–6 weeks.
- Foliar application
- Epiphytes: spray leaves and aerial roots until runoff every 2 weeks during growth. Carnivorous plants: lightly wet only suitable leaf surfaces; avoid traps, trapping organs and crowns. Do not spray leaf surfaces that are themselves trapping organs.
