Can I use this on my orchid plants?

Yes, it will. It works as an immediate killer of bugs on most plants, and also as a systemic insecticide. That means the roots absorb the chemical and continue to kill insects feeding on it.It probably won't work effectively as a systemic on orchids and may take more than one application.Please also read this: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/orchids/msg1216493017931.html

Don't buy it. It is so toxic, really. Not worth it for your own health and the environment. I would place the orchids in a window with direct sun for a few weeks, or I would use a toothbrush and some dishsoap in water to clean the surfaces of the plant (if mites/larva are the problem). Steer clear of such harsh chemicals though. This is banned in Europe. It is what is causing the honeybee collapse in the US.

Yes. Be very careful NOT to get it on any other plant life you do not want to kill.

I don't recommend using it on flowers. If I were spraying around a foundation where there are plants I would be very careful not to get it on the plants.

I'm pretty sure it will work with orchids.Not sure how much the hydroton weighs.most of the hydroton are round balls.its a pretty good brand I guess.

I suggest that you get some bottled drinking water and add orchid plant food to it and use this to mist your plants. Do not pull unwanted leaves off. If they are truly dead they will fall off naturally. Also, I keep mine inside seashells so the roots are free to grow. Good Luck!

Hi Eric, I use my bulb to grow my orchids during the winter months and also to provide light for my tropical plants too. For my Orchids I use a longer plant light, tube form, and for my tropical plants I use one in 10in lamp reflector & they do great! You'll have to play with the distance to the plants to get the best results.

Better ask the manufacturer. My opinion is : Don't use it on any plants you will eat!!

Hello- The label lists it for use on houseplants as well as outdoor plants, so you should be fine. Just be sure to follow label instructions!

Yes I replanted my plant into a orchid container(clay pot with slits) with orchid bark media and I use a saucer filled with stones and keep water in the saucer. I use a orchid fertilizer and prepare a weak solution. Had great blossoms last winter. Hope this helps you.

Yes, I cut orchid stems at my home. These are super sharp, you'll be very pleased, I have no doubt!

I am not certain if it works on orchids, I used it on some rosemary cuttings and it worked great.

I use them on my orchids and have not had a problem. You can sometimes find them cheaper. My Sister uses the Miracle-Gro sticks and she said her orchids love them. They are thin. Bayer's has an applicator but it is sometime still difficult to insert.

Yes, It works on container plants. Just follow the instructions on the label and water thoroughly.

I spray my orchids once a week or so. I'm not a gardener, but this seems to help keep scale away since they are in a screened-in room. If my plants are not prone to bugs or fungus, I leave them alone.

To my knowledge, it can be used on any plant, indoor or outdoor. It also is supposed to prevent any insect infestation. I'd go ahead and use it but you can email the company if you have doubts. They're always eager to help.

I used this highly recommended product as my only fertilizer and it is working very well. Shortly after I began using it, the leaves "perked right up". I should mention, I am growing my first Orchid. I wish you much success!

I don't see why not. The BloomBoss works great on different kinds of plants that I have.
