Hesi OrchiVit Fertiliser, 1L – Complete Orchid & Epiphyte Food with Vitamins & Amino Acids

Hesi OrchiVit is the ultimate, all-in-one fertiliser and booster designed specifically for orchids and other epiphytic plants, delivering a powerhouse blend of nutrients, vitamins, and amino acids in a single, easy-to-use formula.

Are your orchids looking lacklustre and refusing to bloom?

It's frustrating, isn't it? You provide water and light, but your prized Phalaenopsis or delicate Cattleya just sits there, surviving but not thriving. Their leaves lose that vibrant green, new growth is stunted, and flowering becomes a distant memory. You're essentially feeding them a basic diet when they crave a gourmet feast tailored to their unique needs.

Why generic plant food fails your exotic beauties

Orchids and epiphytes aren't your average houseplants. In the wild, they cling to trees, absorbing nutrients from the air, rain, and decomposed matter. Standard fertilisers are often too harsh, with salt-based nutrients that can burn their delicate aerial roots and disrupt the fragile microflora they depend on. This leads to nutrient lockout, poor health, and a complete absence of those spectacular blooms you're dreaming of.

The Hesi solution: A complete feast for fussy feeders

Enter Hesi OrchiVit. This isn't just another fertiliser; it's a scientifically crafted elixir. It combines the core nutrients of Hesi TNT Complex with the root-stimulating power of Root Complex and the vital substance cocktail of SuperVit. The result? A perfectly balanced, gentle food that mimics the rich, organic nutrition they'd find in their natural habitat. The 100% organic, salt-free urea nitrogen is exceptionally well-tolerated, preventing root burn while ensuring optimal uptake.

What Hesi OrchiVit does for your plant collection

OrchiVit transforms your care routine from guesswork to guaranteed results. It supercharges photosynthesis and metabolism, leading to stronger, greener foliage and robust root development. The added vitamins and amino acids don't just feed the plant; they nourish the beneficial microflora around the roots, creating a healthy, symbiotic environment. This means your orchids and other epiphytes (like bromeliads or air plants) gain enhanced resistance and finally have the energy to produce stunning, long-lasting flowers.

How to use Hesi OrchiVit in a few simple steps

Using OrchiVit is straightforward and adapts to your plants' growth speed. Always shake the bottle well before use.

1. For Slow-Growing Orchids/Epiphytes: Mix 1 ml of OrchiVit per litre of water. Use this solution for regular watering, approximately once a month.
2. For Fast-Growing Orchids/Epiphytes: Mix 2-3 ml per litre of water. Apply with watering every 2-4 weeks during active growth phases.
3. For Foliar Feeding: Create a light mist by mixing 0.5-1 ml per litre of water in a spray bottle. Apply lightly to the leaves in the early morning or late afternoon, avoiding direct sunlight.
4. For Other Houseplants: A general dose of 2.5-5 ml per litre can be used to give a boost to your other green companions during their growing season.

Pro Tip: Always water your plants first with plain water to moisten the roots, then apply the nutrient solution. This prevents shock and ensures even distribution. Check out our full range of drip irrigation systems to automate and perfect your feeding schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Hesi OrchiVit on all my houseplants?

Absolutely! While specifically formulated for orchids and epiphytes, its gentle, balanced formula makes it an excellent all-purpose fertiliser for most houseplants. For heavy feeders, you might want to supplement with a dedicated bloom booster during flowering.

How often should I fertilise my orchids with OrchiVit?

Frequency depends on growth speed. For most common orchids like Phalaenopsis (slow-moderate growers), applying the 1ml/L solution once a month is sufficient. For faster-growing varieties or during peak growing seasons, you can apply the 2-3ml/L solution every 2-3 weeks. Always observe your plant's response.

Is it safe for seedlings and young plants?

Yes, but always start with a more diluted solution. For very young or sensitive plants, begin with half the recommended dose (e.g., 0.5 ml/L for slow growers) and monitor their response before increasing to the full strength.

Can I use it with other Hesi products?

OrchiVit is a complete standalone product. However, for orchids in challenging conditions or for maximum bloom potential, some growers like to occasionally add a drop of Hesi Power Zyme to further support root health and nutrient breakdown.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've always been a fan of Hesi's straightforward, no-nonsense approach to plant nutrition, and OrchiVit is a perfect example. I keep a bottle in my office for my collection of Phalaenopsis and a few air plants. The convenience of having a single product that covers all bases is a huge win. I use the 1ml/L mix for my monthly watering routine, and the difference in leaf turgor and colour is noticeable within a few cycles. The plants just look happier and more robust.

What I appreciate most is the peace of mind that comes with the organic urea nitrogen. I've never had an issue with tip burn or salt crust forming on the bark, which was a common problem when I experimented with other fertilisers. For foliar feeding on my bromeliads, I use a very light 0.5ml/L mist, and they respond beautifully. It's become my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to step up their orchid game without complicating their routine. It's effective, gentle, and incredibly easy to use – exactly what a busy plant enthusiast needs.
