can these spikes be used for orchids?

Not familiar with the "needs" of orchids. They work well with my crotons, but must be started in very moist soil and will then maintain the moisture and not run out (the instructions specifically say this).

Yes you can. I use half strength per gallon. I use that to water my orchids weekly, however, 1 week I use regular water. I make that the 4th week of the month because that's the easiest for me to remember.

Since I only grow hybrid tea roses in a rose bed, I don't know about using the fertilizer spikes on container grown roses. There might be something to answer your question on the Jobe's bag under 'Directions for Use'. I don't have a bag handy to look but you might find one on Amazon.

Absolutely. I have 3 all attached to the railing of my deck and use them for hanging flowers during summer and bird feeders in winter. I made sure to use deck screws to secure them to the railing. Good luck.

I do not know the answer to this, but I Googled the following and I saw several articles come up which should provide you with an answer. Here is what I asked: can you use a tree spike on a potted plant?

They can be used for all rose types. Push one or two spikes (depending on bush size) into the ground fairly close to the base of the rose. Will feed for at least 90 days.

Do you mean, work with hanging hooks? I'm sure they would. I was going to use mine to hang some ferns in the front of my house/front door.

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

I did, about a week later. Bought an orchid clay pot, Oncidium soil mix and orchid plant spikes. All are sold a Home Depot. My orchid is still going strong. Lots of new growth.

This product can be used on orchids. We do recommend testing on a small area of the plant prior to widespread application, as each plant may react differently.

I don't see why they wouldn't work for seed starting. What type of seeds are you attempting to grow? Typically plants in net pots either need lots of air at the roots such as orchids or are growing hydroponically with no soil.

Probably would work fine. They might be a bit to large for small seedling pots, but you can break the stakes into small pieces if you'd like to use them in small pots.

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.

Sorry I don't know for certain but my guess would be no as they were described to me as for flowers and crafts. I use them in the bottom of a vase. I'd recommend asking the manufacturer.

The spikes are as long as they say and will need to be pounded into the ground 20"-24" to maintain the poles from shifting during play, especially if the ground is soft. You can try different spike depths but there is a chance the poles will start to 'shift in' depending on what kind of play-ability out of the net you typically like to have. The answer I guess is 'Yes' you can use them but obviously try and be aware of sprinkler locations.

I suppose they could be trimmed to shorten the length but the spikes are a bit brittle and cutting might shatter the whole spike. Hope that helps.
