can this be used on orchids?

I wouldn't think so, as it is for cacti, and orchids are very specific. However, there is a Miracle-Gro made for Orchids.

I Don't believe this should be used on orchids, as it specifies cactus, and succulents. As a previous response, it was noted that there is a specific formula for orchids.

Yes it will work just fine on flowers at the close range. It's a great starting point for macro photography.http://www.flickr.com/photos/62741415@N07/8325815275/

We have used hormone with some success on other types of orchids, give it a try but do your prep work for soil etc:

I don't see why not. this adhesive is sticky! I would just make sure it is fully dry before you adhere it to something. I work with fresh flowers and it works beautifully!

You could try. It works best for "needle" type herbs. Basil & others have big leaves, much easier to pick them off stems.

I use this pump to circulate water from 18 gal tub to six tomato plants. It works great and moves plenty of water. I'm not sure how it would water orchids without running dry. I water my outdoor plants with a Orbit Single Dial Water Timer connected to a "y" connector at the faucet. I've ran 1/4" vinyl tubing with drippers from the timer.

As far as I know Orthene is a systemic, foliar spray. My instructions say to mix 2/3 of a teaspoon for each gallon of water and spray the plant. That is the mix that I use to spray my orchids, very early in the morning or late afternoon. I understand that it should be use outdoors only. You may want to check the manufacturer's site.

some plants are more susceptible than others to burn. the mist that comes out of this spray is pretty fine so I think you'll be fine but if you are worried about certain plans for example some of your sensitive ones if you have any orchids I would just put them a little further back so that they don't get the brunt of the spray they'll just get sort of the mist. Burnt leaves art such a bad issue in the spring

I don't know about this particular infestation, but I have used the product on my orchids, over several months, and they are thriving. The fungus gnats, my original concern, are well controlled.

we have never used it on succulents, however it should work Ok, but make sure it is well diluted and do not overdo it.

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.

While I don't use this for orchids (I use it for kombucha), it does keep a nice steady warm temp. I live in Portland, OR and we don't turn our heater up much; our average indoor temp is around 67 or so. This mat warms the kombucha to around 85 degrees. Again, that's not the same as orchids but hopefully it's helpful.

I honestly don't know. It works well for my flowers, but I have no vegs/herbs to try it on. Depending on what you are trying to kill, and if you want to stick to household items, you could try a heavy mixture of liquid dish soap and water in a mist spray bottle. I know this works well for ants (it plugs their trachea tubes - they cannot breath). Sorry - wish I could help.

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

To address your question regard the use of fertilizer, I didn't fertilize my orchids while they are blooming, I only used this product and had great results. Numbers are nitrogen 0.00005%; phosphate 0.000004%; potash 0.003%. I don't recommend spraying this on the leaves or the flower, just on the soil. Good luck.

I am sure you could. I use it on everything and never had it hurt anything yet except sprayed it on some plants once to kill potatoe bugs and the plants turned brown because I mixed it too strong.

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.
