How to grow everblooming orchids like these?
- 💋Orchids culture is different from garden ornamental plants. They are epiphytes, so you cannot use regular garden fertilizer on orchids, because they are very sensitive to salts.
- 💋Orchids need a special, acidic type of fertilizer, very mild in action.
- 💋Sunshine Boosters formula is exactly what orchids need. It is amino-acid based, very mild, and doesn't create nutrient lock up (building up salts is one of the biggest enemies of tender orchids). Sunshine Boosters Orchidasm Complete Feed is scientifically balanced orchid food that contains all necessary nutrients, including micro-elements, for healthy, happy, vigorous orchids.
- 💋 Sunshine Orchidasm can be used as often as daily with every foliage spray.
- 💋From our testing experience, after using Orchidasm Booster, orchids not only get happy and thriving - they also bloom more often - up to several times a year, shooting new flower spikes one after another (while normal blooming cycle for most orchids is once a year). It gets even better - the flower display lasts twice longer!
😊To enjoy beautiful Orchid flowers year around - treat them with Love, give them some Orchidasm!

Orchid Trees in pots
Everyone loves beautiful Orchid trees with butterfly-like leaves and colorful orchid-like flowers. They are widely used in Southern landscapes.

📝 This is how to n enjoy the stunning flowers and foliage of Bauhinia right on your patio or balcony:
- 💠 Choose the right variety. Some species suitable for containers:
- 💠 Choose the right pot: Select a large, sturdy pot with good drainage holes. Bauhinia trees have a vigorous root system
- 💠 Use a well-draining potting mix. We recommend a professional soilless mix: Sunshine Abundance.
- 💠 Sunny location: Position the pot in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Bauhinia plants thrive in warm, sunny conditions.
- 💠 Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
- 💠 Fertilizing: For the most profuse flowering like in the video, feed the Bauhinia with liquid Sunshine Boosters Megaflor year around, it's safe with every watering.
- 💠 Pruning: Prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth.
- 💠 Winter Care: If you live in a region with cold winters, bring the pot indoors or to a sheltered location to protect the plant from frost.
