Ingredients:
1 tablespoon fish emulsion (rich in nitrogen for lush growth)
1 tablespoon seaweed extract (packed with micronutrients and growth hormones)
1 tablespoon molasses (provides carbohydrates to beneficial microbes)
1 quart (4 cups) warm water

In a clean container, combine the fish emulsion, seaweed extract, and molasses.
Stir the mixture gently until well blended.
Add the warm water to dilute the concentrate, stirring thoroughly.
Pour the solution into a spray bottle or watering can with a fine spout.
How to Use:
Apply 1 tablespoon of this fertilizer diluted in 1 quart of water to your orchids every 7 to 10 days during the active growing season.
Water your orchids as usual before fertilizing to avoid root burn.
Spray some on the leaves and the rest at the base near the roots for overall nourishment.

Use the fertilizer fresh for best results.
Store any leftover fertilizer in a sealed container in a cool, dark place for up to 2 weeks.
